Founding Story
Srinivasa Gopalan is a highly innovative Indian technology entrepreneur and the massively influential co-founder fundamentally responsible for architecting the digital infrastructure of CaratLane, India's absolute first massive omnichannel jewelry retailer. Operating as a deeply experienced software and e-commerce executive, Gopalan aggressively partnered with jewelry scion Mithun Sacheti in 2008 to completely disrupt the highly traditional, massive Indian jewelry market. Recognizing the incredibly lucrative potential of digital retail, Gopalan provided the critical initial seed capital and completely engineered the highly complex online platform required to successfully sell premium jewelry over the internet. His incredibly rigorous technical leadership and massive early investment completely validated the incredibly ambitious concept, permanently laying the corporate bedrock for what would eventually become a massively dominant, multi-million dollar retail empire subsequently acquired by Titan.
