Background
Prabhkiran Singh is a civil engineering graduate of IIT Bombay. Bewakoof was his third attempt at a business: he started Khadke Glassi, a fresh lassi venture, in 2010 and closed it after three years because demand in Mumbai proved seasonal, then ran a short lived B2B merchandise business that gave him the idea for a clothing brand.
Role at Bewakoof
Prabhkiran Singh co-founded Bewakoof with IIT Bombay batchmate Siddharth Munot and put bewakoof.com live on 1 April 2012. Early venture investors would not back what they called an internet brand, so the founders mortgaged family property and borrowed from SBI and PNB, growing the business through an online Bewakoof magazine and a Facebook page that reached 75,000 followers in about a month with a team of two founders and two interns. Singh kept sales on the company's own site and app rather than marketplaces, raised Rs 80 crore from Investcorp in October 2019, extended the catalogue into beauty with Cosmos in July 2021, and sold majority control to Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail's TMRW for Rs 200 crore in a deal that closed in February 2023. He announced his exit on 24 February 2026 and left at the end of that March, holding 12.5 percent of the company as of the FY2025 filings. (Exact birth year remains publicly undisclosed).
