“The opportunity to work with Kranti in building neOwn from zero to one would be the start of another great journey. I am grateful to Purple Quarter for introducing me to this opportunity and for facilitating a quick closure. At neOwn, our primary focus will be to move the organization towards an AI-based e-commerce approach. We will focus on building growth funnels and scalable technology using AI engines, keeping consumers at the center. I look forward to building and growing with neOwn’s vision and mission,” shared Pratik Chopra on his appointment.

Launched in 2023, neOwn is an early-stage startup founded by Kranti Gada, Ex-Shemaroo Ent. COO, with a mission to empower modern-day shoppers as well as brands with alternate commerce models.
