This is what u called a self made billionaire unlike Kylie
What does Kylie have to do with this woman's accomplishments?
@Talk Talk wait so she doesn't have 900 million yet? But this crap was all over the news everywhere
@@bihjanharvey763 she's a self made billionaire unlike Kylie
@@bihjanharvey763 Kylie Jenner was on Forbes Cover for beeing a young female "Self-Made-Billionaire"
@@circleinfo I am aware of that, but I am asking why bring up someone else who has nothing to do with the person that was highlighted in the video? Why do you have to shit on Kylie instead of commending this woman for her accomplishments?

Well, the simple reason for that is taxation. It's super easy to set up a company in Singapore and the corporate tax rate is quite low. It's surprising, but even Flipkart and GreyOrange are registered in Singapore :)
@@adhimahajan is it
Another major reason is FDI you aren't allowed to have FDI more than 49% in India so they hop on to Singapore
Arun B doesn't matter where office is the company will be still recognised as a Indian company
Arun B it's much easier to register a company in Singapore.
I never heard about it. Not a single ad
I don't think they sell in India, they do business in South East asia
@@karthikgovindappa irony
well this is the ad
@@daviddiveroli9331 how is that irony ?
It's very popular in indonesia.
Most people who they state they are self made , have connections to begin with
There are no "self made" Billionaires. Either you exploit your workers or your customers to become one.

I'm more interested in knowing the resources she had to begin with.

She worked in Sequoia Capital, Doesnt that enough to get contacts for funding!

@@campkira How is it a scam?
Did they just Add 'India' for views??
Isn't that obvious by the views it's getting
I know right, feels like it atleast
No, Indian views get very less add money so no.
@Street Food Stalls she is not from india that's for sure.
Yes
She may be the first indian female unicorn founder since the 2000's because otherwise it may go to Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, founder of Biocon.
haha biocon, seriously someone named a business a "con" ? lol
@@michaelxz1305 nobody named it con its name is 'Biocon' somebody also named their company 'Con'tinental AG there are words that starts with 'con'gratulate, 'con'ceive . Lot of people have name like conrad, conan .....
@@michaelxz1305 someone you know having diabetes, must be using insulin made by Biocon. Try to respect people a little, no harm in that.
just another CEO waiting to go to jail for no good reason... The fact that start up company overvalue is the fact financial sector try to get their money somewhere... waiting for some real company to made profit and shift money back to their real choice... they had control over her company... ever-though she had control of it... it is meaningless... Let see if she can cash out of the company... Oh wait she can not.... so it made well is worthless for her.... since high expense is coming every year.... stock market don't mean a thing for truth company worth.... IT CALLED A second hand stock market.... just some fool used the value to calculated value of company....

AND AS USUAL THEY NEVER SHARE HOW THE FK THEY GOT THE DAMN MONEY FOR THE "START UP" TO BEGIN WITH 🙄

She worked in a VC before starting her company. That job experience definitely helped her to get the required connections.
@@soubhick554 in clothing 💀💀 there's alot of competition
She works at sequoia so that's obvious
mma Plz mate, that's not right.. They are awesome people, my best friends are Hindus don't generally put Hindu community down.
While reading the title, I thought she found a unicorn and earned 1$ billion cause it was rare...
😂😂😂 best comment
lol u deserve a medal
Only females r making such assumptions n comments 🤦♀️
So she ain't an Indian citizen nor the business was founded in India. It's like we should feel proud of Sundar pichai even tho he doesn't want no connection with india. Why India is in the title exactly ? Oh yes, views.
Umm.. we can feel proud of anyone who made something of themselves... Indian or not :)
True
so true
Go and read about her in Wiki. What u mean? Bose is from India. She studied mathematics and economics at St. Xavier's College, Mumbai. Bose started her career working at McKinsey & Company and Sequoia Capital in Bangalore. In 2015 Bose left her position as an investment analyst at Sequoia Capital to launch her own company, Zilingo. Bose was only twenty three when she founded Zilingo, an e-commerce platform that offers B2B functionality. She moved to Singapore in 2016, where she developed the Zilingo software and supply chain capabilities. It’s Tech is run by co-founder Dhruv Kapoor and his 100-people team from Bengaluru, India. Thanks so we are proud of her. TC

Founders these days are so fake entrepreneurs. Once rich by funding or selling whole business they leave employees who worked for them to fend for themselves.
@PopnLock Popin it isn't jealousy, concern is stability, whether one's job or company's which has impact on so many other factors affecting our life.
I live in bkk . Been to chatuchak market so many times but I never thought like her . Hence I'm still eating my rice bowl soup 🙁
You should quit social media and RUclips and get a life?
MATH Genius it was a joke dumb head . Im just doing fine .
@@randomdude9135 the 1 billion was her investor money and the company can't even generate $1 million per year revenue
Let's short sell her stock lads
@@rawinrith5903 u dumb why the hell investors will put a billion dollar if a company can't even generate a million dollar profit a year.
The company is valued at BN$ that is all the company assets plus future growth valuation. They will break even soon.
1:40 I can see Indonesia is a big market. always 😅
Why do u think chinese are outnumbered ?
Aaannnd.... China and India, you're not that special sir
From Singapore, this popped up on the newsfeed, maybe because I am dabbling in my own thing. I’m really impressed, and I think she has found a niche... there is a market for what she’s selling. Ultimately these companies last because of leadership and smart people - but I like her too! I’m very impressed ! Good work !
Aur hum 12000 ki job k liye din raat pad rhe hai🤦🏻♂️

A billion $ valuation can't happen alone on turnover for such a young firm. I'm curious to know who funded them and WHY. Also how did she get into IB with a simple BA, while there are CAs & CFAs struggling to make it to her position? Awesome story but these few things don't add up yet
Wanderlust89 😂😂 learn and observe the backhand complements gets you nowhere.
@@peacebewithyou3825 backhand complements?? Not sure what you mean by that. May be you should re-read my comment.
She didn't do a simple BA ,look at her LinkedIn page.
@@soubhick554 yep checked that stint at NYU isn't even full time...proves yet again you don't need a degree to have the next best idea and work hard towards it. Its a very inspiring story nonetheless.
@@Wanderlust89 i dont think that is a great idea.... i think that she built a great brand and the fact that she had contacts and experience in the venture capital world is A HUGE ADVANTAGE!!, she got a lot of founding of bonky venture capitalists that need to put money in order to convince the next ones to keep putting money ( making the valuation bigger and bigger, maybe 15-30 times revenue ) and the company gets the chance to "blitszcale" spending millions in branding, marketing, operations and team. But is obviously not a business that could build a advantage without that venture money
When you don't have a role model, become one. Outstanding!
Ankiti Bose did a phenomenal job of bringing her company to this level! Wow!!
Scam level?
Wow those words haven't aged well. She is a scumbag.
Damn I thought she actually found a unicorn 😭💀
Hahaha
Same sksksksks
Lol
P for Prab You have a new business idea! 😂
me too😁😂 and was thinking lilly singh would be happy to know😆😆
This is so weird im from singapore and i have never heard of the name zillingo ever
@M M thelowdown.momentum.asia/what-is-this-zilingo/
Kiran mazumdar shaw already become self made female Indian billionaire.
But not at this young age, Ankiti is barely in her of 20's.
@@onyourface4246 she is not a billionaire,her company is worth a billion dollars. on the other hand kiran man is an billionaire.
@@sagarprasad1436 How can you compare the two of them. Ankiti is a kid. Just started her career. Kiran Mam has worked for many years before reaching that level. Give Ankiti as many years before commenting like that. It's only been 4-5 yrs since she has started.
Look notice some facts, she is already rich enough, she travels to Singapore for Holidays, she is an investment analyst at venture capitalists office, she have all the contacts of private investors, so what's the big deal... feature someone who is not born with silver spoon in their mouth...but today successful like no other !
Inspite of coming from upper middle-class background, she achieved so much at such a young, instead of acting oversmart & ignorant, learn to respect someone who is far far ahead of you.
She got those contacts and that job on her own merit and not in daddy's company
Though I'm not much into fashion (yet), this was an awesome example of searching and finding an opportunity and then going full throttle on it. Loved watching this video.
Real trade
I am from India remarkable achievement by Ankita cheers to team zillingo
women are devastating creatures do your brain cells communicate? He didn’t mention that it is an Indian company at all, he merely congratulated her efforts.
@Joseph Stalin Use some 'BURNOL' on your ass.
I remember that one time I started a billion dollar fashion company with my neighbor. It was fun.
This is the power of E commerce
The company looks like modern hotel ... its a dream work environment!
its just show off. Just like WE WORK
@Amar Nanwani lol

Now this is what I call a SMART INDIAN GIRL!!! I’m so happy to see her. Great going girl 👌👌👌

Wow! So Serendipitous how this business came together!! I love how she said you have to be a perpetual optimist!
She looked like mia khalifa in the thumbnail.I thought wow she is a billionare and clicked fast.
I got clickbaited
ikr
LMAO same thoughts.
pervert spotted :-)
Lol same.
Biskut is gay
THIS HASN'T AGED WELL AT ALL.... Lmao
True , reality is a illusion
You go girl 🤗 #inspiration
Bose always greatness
Good for her awesome stuff best wishes to the company
Female inner potential is infinite..
Every woman needs to explore..
By her source of creation....

@@adityaprabhu5158 just a heads up that it’s kind of a cringe word now, you might wanna stop
@@maya-cc2sx that's what a simp with an anime profile pic would say
This aged well 😂
Why? What happened?
Robers quote about Roger Bannister at 3:36 was literally picked up from the book Habbit of Winning by Prakash Iyer..
This is so encouraging! ✊🏽
What a classy example for people .
Extremely proud of this young lady
May she reach even greater heights in this discipline as well as many others,and propel and allow young girls to dream global rather than local.
She has been fired and in trouble for financial irregularity in her company. Someone has been cooking their books big time!
@@s._3560 Bose was a fucking fraud.
This didn’t age well
This young lady is brilliant at selling clothes and the company is almost valued at 1 billion dollars a good entrepreneur
The reason for the high valuation is due to the e-commerce and VC games in South East Asia. After Zalora was acquired, there s no major fashion platform in this region, so there might be a chance for VCs to groom a platform and exit at a good price. People around me have never used this platform. And most ppl in relevant industry in Singapore only heard of her after they did PR for the funding round.
But for those ppl comparing her with Elizabeth Holmes, that’s not possible. Theranos put people’s life at risk, ecommerce won’t.
Great! Thank you for this video..
Such a huge inspiration 🙏🏽💗💗💗💗💗
I love Indian People.Very smart Woman,bravo!
Yes Mrs Jane is legit and her method works like magic I keep on earning every single week with her new strategy
I think I'm blessed because if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as expert Mrs Jane
I think she is the best broker I ever seen
Thanks for introducing me to Mrs Jane
My first investment with Mrs Jane gave me profit of over $24,000 us dollars and ever since then she has never failed to deliver and I can even say she's the most sincere broker I have known
Yes I' m also a living testimony of expert Mrs Jane
Surprisingly this is the first time I've heard of it
Wow! Very inspiring
Great job ankiti,yes we should bring awarness in india to let women fulfill their dreams,dream to be better.
How is this different from Amazon
Amazon hasn't bought it yet
It's just another Myntra but going to be bought by Amazon.
@@shrshk7 😩😩😩😂😂😂
@Tee X oopsie doopsie!!!!
If you want to run a business, you just need to see, copy, and release a brand
the interviewer has a beautiful smile
I was shocked to see that CNBC made a video on India and do not show dharavi or old delhi in this video
I actually thought that she was a unicorn founder like me☹
I'm from Indonesia. I saw Zillingo's ad often here
That's true. Indians dont even know what the company is. So ironic.
Sabrina Maharani hii
Sabrina Maharani Do they just source from local markets or make merchandise themselves?
Amazing! Passion! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks this interview is an eye opener. I saw their ads months ago in indonesia but couldnt figure how they are different from zalora, or even from shopee and other local ecommerce unicorns
I’m still confused on the company isn’t it like amazon ?
Thanks for sharing an inspirational news...
Wow.. Inspiring proud female entrepreneur
Respect!
Indian entrepreneur developed a startup at Singapore, god knows how it would benefit India's ranking and it's economy. Rather it just supports the fact that India in not a good place for startups, moreover it invites others to leave the country for better investment and opportunities.
India is home to 4th most no. of Unicorns in case you don't know.

For all the people saying she was already rich or has connections, would they say this about a man ?
She was at the right place at right time, and had the brains to act on instinct. Kudos to her.
Yeah. Even if a man has a similar business, they'll still question him
Even if it was a man, i would say the same
@@vighneshchavan9226 Sadly, It seems the pandemic has not been kind to her company. No doubt she is a fighter and will live and learn on some new venture. Wish her the best.
This is totally off topic lol but I been to chatuchak, the most incredible thing about it is, you can't finish going to all the shops in one day !!! It's huge and the food is incredible.
Such an inspirational female role model . Encouragement for all of us(Y)
Oh wow..
I think she Co owns it. Other founders also deserve recognition.
She was the one who initiated the business. She manages sales and marketing. She teamed up with that Dhruv kapoor for tech support.
@@onyourface4246 THAT dhruv kapoor ? The one who was not a fraud ?
I have never ever heard of this company. It's definitely not like flipkart.
Awesome stuff!
Amazing 😍
What is this lady who cooked up books doing now - selling popcorns ?
Ankiti is so specific and she doesn't seem like a person who would give a damn about what narrow minded morons would have to say.
You simp
😂
Now she is sacked from her own company 🤣 The narrow minded fools were correct
She is a pathological self marketeer. Very successful at that too. And I say this in the most admiring way possible.
She’s so pretty. You go girl 💪🏽!!!

Zalora was founded years before Zilingo. It's not that hard to copy other business, it happens.
Sorry to say, Zalora is CRAP
@@ursulagilbert1465 ah not for me :) way better for example no tacky pictures. Zilingo looks like aliexpress plus their search result is not 100% accurate
@@ursulagilbert1465 well my experience with Zalora is quite good. You get what they state and in such an affordable price within no time.
An interview does not mean a great quality product. Overhyped marketing and another bubble.
Putting effort to entice customers does not mean they care. It means they need to generate sales🤦♀️excellent customer service with empathy means they care.
I know zilingo and sometimes I see their ads in my country 😨
Congratulations🎉🎊
You can't be what you can't see. So true 💯
"You can't be, what you can't see!" So inspiring..
This isn't inspiring at all. Someone is always the first to do it. They never see and still BE 😊
@@nitipriyasingh1387 the point is they have to see it and believe it to be so..doesn't matter if your the 10th to do something if you believe it can work it will!!

What do you mean
@@jackstar2552 cause she is not the founder nor the owner just a co founder much like CFO and the company is based in Singapore
WOW 😮😮THAT
So inspiring 👌👏
May be she was at right place at the right time... investment analyst at Sequoia capital...and going to Bangkok, neighbors... although she is doing a great job representing India and especially women in tech and entrepreneurship.
great excuse. keep it up.
Amazon is gonna buy it for sure
Her smile 😊😊😊
Damn its amazing
Congrats and welcome. Let more women come on international stage
As society in the 21st century, we need to include health and mental being as measurements for success as well. Not just whoever gets 1Billion valuation. Success shouldn't be reserve for just how much money person raises or a company makes.
Thanks god I initially thought this is another video about Mia Khalifa.
I thought the same!😂😂😂
Did she hit 1 billion too?
Pervert. 🤮
So proud of u mam
Great work.... Inspiration for youth #aplife
This era should be called the age of women power. :)
It sure is!
Lol on the outdated comments on this video.
True, I don't know about her till now. But in span of 3 years everything happened just on the comments section.
Wow lady! Appreciate it. Many woman donot know how to even start and grow their business. And what seed funding required and how to make their business going. But its amazing
Really inspiring and love disrupters
I wanna marry the host .she is so cute ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Is it me or the narator sounds like google assistant?
Never heard about it - even in 2020
Let's all share and make her famouse to let the world know what a self made billioner is
WHAT A JOIKE
🙄 they would've been bought by flipkart if entered in India. However they wouldn't be able to beat mantra and could easily have been lost in this competition.
Pantesan Zillingo ads nya di push banget. Kereeeen
