Discover risk-free trading techniques that you can implement while you learn in this conversation. Perfect for beginners looking to improve their trading skills!Raghu Kumar is a serial entrepreneur and has been obsessed with the financial markets since the age of 16. After graduating from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, he started his first company in 2006 - RK Trading Partnership - a proprietary trading company that actively traded the forex markets. He was able to turn $10k into more than $2M over a span of two years using low-latency, news trading strategies. Using the profits, he moved to India in 2008 – along with two other co-founders – and setup RKSV Securities, a retail stock brokerage, which eventually rebranded into Upstox. RKSV was also a proprietary trading firm and actively traded India's stock markets, and Raghu led the prop desk division. After Upstox raised its Series A, the prop desk was shut down, and Raghu transitioned into a traditional co-founder role. In 2019, he stepped down from the Board of Upstox and left all operational duties, but remains Upstox's largest individual shareholder. He took a long sabbatical, moved back to the US, and started thinking about his next venture. He wanted to create a new, bolder company, which could massively disrupt the financial markets at a larger scale than a typical stock brokerage. In 2020, he incorporated Rain Platforms. After his co-founders Harsh and Kanishk joined, the trio started developing TradingLeagues, a disruptive, gamified offering for the financial markets. The goal behind TradingLeagues is to massively increase awareness and engagement with the financial markets at a global level by leveraging gamification. TradingLeagues launched in India in Dec 2022 and amassed more than 1M users. The global edition of TradingLeagues launched in Nov 2023. Raghu oversees business growth at Rain Platforms. Harsh's journey demonstrates a unique blend of financial acumen, entrepreneurial spirit, and personal passions. From a prodigious start in asset management to making significant strides in financial technology and services, Harsh's trajectory is marked by innovation and leadership. His commitment to both professional excellence and personal hobbies, such as motorsports and various sports, highlights his multifaceted personality.Similar to Raghu, Harsh has passionately pursued a life in finance. Starting his career at Deutsche Bank, he adeptly managed assets approximating USD 75 million, demonstrating remarkable talent at a surprisingly young age. By the age of 25, Harsh embarked on an entrepreneurial journey, co-founding AGacquisitions with his elder brother, Kanishk. This initiative was recognized as India's first offshore-domiciled hedge fund. Harsh's notable achievements earned him a coveted spot in the prestigious inaugural edition of the Forbes India 30 Under 30 list of Young Achievers. A chance encounter at the Forbes India 30 Under 30 event brought Harsh and Raghu together, leading to a professional partnership that has thrived for over a decade, spanning multiple projects and collaborations.In 2020, Kanishk and Harsh joined Raghu, having incorporated Rain Platforms, the trio started developing TradingLeagues, a disruptive, gamified offering for the financial markets.Learn more: https://www.tradingleagues.app "What a unique concept. Learning to trade in the markets can be risky and losses can be massive, causing newbies to give up before learning anything. TradingLeagues will allow you to learn without risk.

Prior to Curofy, he was an analyst at Deutsche Bank in London where he was involved in structuring derivative products and proprietary credit indices in emerging markets. Pawan is a mission-driven entrepreneur who believes that technology has the power to change the lives of the most vulnerable for the better. At Fashinza, he is improving the lives and working conditions of workers throughout the fashion supply chain while striving to bring sustainable design and increase efficiency. Pawan Gupta was part of Forbes India's 30 under 30 in 2018, Rising Stars by Bloomberg TV, and Young Turks by CNBC. He has also written guest columns in leading publications and has spoken at global events. To grow a brand, identify a need After the acquisition of his second successful company, Pawan was spending a lot of time at his parents' house. He got an idea. Inspired by his father's decades of experience in manufacturing, he saw a major gap: Retailers, producers and customers were largely disconnected. He saw their frustration in dealing with middlemen, who made their jobs more difficult and ate into their profit margins. He identified a need. By researching the gaps in the fashion supply chain, Pawan got to work with his friends and Co-founders to design something the industry had never used before: Technology that helps them predict trends, choose designs, order from manufacturers and get timely deliveries. Fashinza launched and they experienced explosive growth. Successful entrepreneurs get crystal clear Pawan's advice to any young entrepreneur is this: Don't start a business until you get clear on what your goals are! While your reasons might be different from everyone else's, you need to identify your true driving force in order to create the type of company you actually want. Whether you want to create a massive impact, make more money, retire early or launch a family business, approach this question with no judgment and complete clarity. Understanding your business goals helps you decide what steps to take as you launch, grow and scale your company. Enjoy this fascinating conversation with Pawan Gupta on The Business of You. Quotes “We don't just accelerate the manufacturing process - we also help brands make a decision on what to manufacture and what kind of designs to launch, so that the industry only produces stuff the customers want! We are solving the problem of dead stock and overproduction, making fashion more sustainable.” “I got super excited. How can we take these small manufacturing units and connect them with customers across the world?” “We value the integration of technology and how we could change the fragmented supply chain. It's really challenging but the solution was really needed as well.” “Be very clear on why you want to start a company. No judgment! It's entirely your call, but be very clear on exactly what it is that you want to do. Don't get swayed by propaganda. Not everyone does a job for the same reason. Your reasons could be personal. And your answer affects how you build your own company, as well.” “We believe in providing absolute freedom and autonomy, and trusting that you do the right thing. This is exactly what our hiring and internal management philosophy is.” “I want to make something super big. I care about the impact and what it brings to the supply partners and customers. I care about what it brings to society and millions of workers. This is the most important exciting part of our business.” Links mentioned in this episode: Learn all about Fashinza on their company website at https://www.fashinza.com/en-us Connect directly with Pawan Gupta on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/pawaniitd/ Read Pawan Gupta's interview in Medium Magazine at https://medium.com/authority-magazine/pawan-gupta-of-fashinza-on-the-supply-chain-and-the-future-of-retail-e68781e7e862
