In this compelling episode of Just Another Lens, I sit down with Pratik Gadia, a dynamic entrepreneur and one of the success stories from Shark Tank India. As the founder and CEO of The Yarn Bazaar, Pratik is revolutionizing the traditional textile industry by streamlining the yarn supply chain in a way that's never been done before. From humble beginnings in a small town in Rajasthan to pitching on a national stage, Pratik’s journey is one of grit, innovation, and transformation.
We dive deep into how Pratik identified a major gap in the textile industry, turning a problem he faced daily into a thriving business model. His company, The Yarn Bazaar, acts as a managed marketplace for textile yarn buyers and suppliers, tackling issues of fragmented supply chains, inconsistent quality, and outdated systems. Pratik shares how he convinced some of the biggest names in the industry to embrace his tech-driven platform, despite initial resistance.
This episode isn’t just about business. It’s about legacy, perseverance, and daring to go against the grain. From his experiences on Shark Tank to scaling The Yarn Bazaar during the challenges of COVID-19, Pratik's story is a powerful reminder that the biggest innovations often come from the industries you know best.
Tune in for actionable insights, a masterclass in entrepreneurship, and a conversation filled with inspiration for anyone looking to disrupt an industry or start their own entrepreneurial journey.
