Lubeina Shahpurwala

Co-Founder, Mustang Socks

Mustang Socks was founded by Naazneen Katrak in 1986. Back then, she understood the need of cotton socks, which compelled her to single-handedly set-up Mustang. As the brand grew, a significant turning point in Mustang’s journey was Naazneen and Lubeina’s partnership. Their goal was to deliver value products to their customers, employees and the society, starting with superior quality, warm and comfortable socks.

In 2004, Lubeina Shahpurwala took up the mantel of Co-Founder at Mustang Socks. An entrepreneur and fashion enthusiast, she broke away from the trodden path to boost Mustang Socks to new heights. Drawing from her natural love for fashion and keen sense of business, Lubeina has been instrumental in making Mustang an aspirational brand in fashion apparel in India. With a combination of sharp business acumen, a hands-on approach in Mustang and a compelling desire to grow, Lubeina complements Naazneen’s passion perfectly. Her need to keep up with the latest trends has ensured that Mustang stays ahead in terms of product design and technology – whether it be their character range, vibrant seasonal collections, their health socks or the classy footlets.
Recently, she was recognized as the Entrepreneur of the Year in Manufacturing Business
at the 5th Entrepreneur India Awards 2015.

Together, Naazneen and Lubeina have taken Mustang to a whole new level. At a time when socks were only seen as a commodity, they made Mustang into a brand – breaking into the Indian fashion sector as one of the first fashion apparel companies.

Mustang today manufactures more than 1 million pairs of socks every month, and has 36 distributors across India. With a consistent and impresssive growth rate, they have tie-ups with some of the largest International Brands, Retailers and E-Retailers, including Amazon, FirstCry, Hopscotch, etc. They are also expanding to include other apparel products like scarves, vests and briefs for kids, etc

They recently launched their own e-commerce website and have also opened up their first wholesale store.

Suchi Mukherjee

Founder & CEO LimeRoad.com

The only Indian to receive the Cambridge Commonwealth Trust Scholarship for studying Economics at Cambridge University in 1994, Suchi graduated from St. Stephens College, Delhi University and procured her master’s degree in Finance & Economics from the London School of Economics where she won the British Chevening Scholarship.

Creating and scaling businesses which impact people’s lives deeply using technology has been her sole passion. Starting from the early years in finance, where she was part of teams that designed India’s first special purpose financing vehicle, and then the world’s largest aviation insurance company via a transatlantic merger, Suchi has had an illustrious career.

Her successful stint at eBay encapsulated Suchi as a part of the relatively early team building out the UK business, creating earning opportunities for millions of sellers. UK ultimately went on to become the second largest eBay market in the world. Subsequently, as an executive management team member at Skype, she led teams that designed and launched the biggest upgrade in Skype’s history since launch, thus enabling free peer-to-peer multiparty video and screen share. Finally there was Gumtree – UK’s largest online classifieds business, where Suchi was Managing Director & CEO, helping millions of women and men find incredibly useful daily life savers.

Suchi calls herself a Delhi girl who has come home after over 15 years to build LimeRoad.com, a venture conceived after the birth of her second child, while snatching a few minutes of me-time flipping through a magazine. Nothing, she felt, gave unhindered access to a rich breadth of product across South-East Asia, in an interface that was as easy as flipping a magazine. Thus grew the idea of the platform, the proposition and the interface. Driving for lasting impact has been a core theme for her.

She has also been selected as one of 15 women worldwide – high potential leaders under 40 for driving change and impact, showcased & celebrated at the World Women’s Forum in Deauville, Paris, 2010. Recently, she was one amongst the few entrepreneurs chosen to address the Startup India Standup India Event in New Delhi and share the dais with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
She has great admiration for people who have questioned status quo and made lasting change happen in their own contexts, and all her core partners reflect the same grain.
