After founding one of Asia’s largest tech startups, Bose made headlines when her meteoric rise was followed by unexpected turbulence. Fired from her own company? Yes. But Ankiti is proving that no setback can hold her back for long.

Building an Empire from Scratch
Zilingo wasn’t just a startup it was a revolutionary B2B platform that disrupted the fashion supply chain across eight countries. Bose’s leadership catapulted the company to a jaw-dropping ₹7000 crore valuation, making her one of the most recognized women in tech and business globally. Her vision for Zilingo placed her on prestigious lists like Forbes and Fortune, and she was celebrated for her business acumen, innovation, and determination.
But behind the scenes, challenges began to mount. A combination of internal disputes and the pandemic’s effects sent Zilingo into a spiral, leading to the controversial decision to fire Bose from the very company she built. While many expected her to retreat, Ankiti chose to rise above the noise.

Turning Setbacks into Strength
The saga could have easily broken anyone else, but not Ankiti. Her journey from being removed as CEO to becoming the founder of Terra-Invest shows her tenacity and forward-thinking mindset. Learning from the Zilingo experience, she set her sights on something bigger changing the way capital and policy work together for a more sustainable future. Terra-Invest, her newest venture, is focused on merging governance, investment, and public policy to tackle global challenges in sectors like energy and finance.
