The purpose of Zilingo, started in 2015 by Ankiti Bose and Dhruv Kapoor, is to create value for its merchants and provide them access to the world's most efficient fashion supply chain.
A small merchant neither has the volume to source as cheaply as large conglomerates, nor does he have enough influence to get the best rates from service providers or warehouses.
Zilingo developed its own proprietary suite of tools to enable fashion merchants to access manufacturers across Asia; unlocking the best procurement rates, optimised logistics services, financial solutions, insurance, loans and analytics for them. (DS)
