From Kerala classrooms to Amazon's Luxembourg headquarters, what does it take to lead fashion e-commerce across three continents?

In this episode of Retail Re:Mix Stories, we sit down with Vivek Rajukumar, CEO of 6th Street, who's mastered the art of switching between suits and casuals (literally and culturally) throughout his career. Born to two doctors who instilled fire and ice in equal measure, Vivek broke the family pattern by choosing math over medicine, and ended up revolutionizing how millions of people shop for fashion.

This conversation goes deep. We're talking about delivering fashion in 60 minutes (yes, that's possible now), why the top 1% of customers across India, Europe, and the GCC are more alike than you'd think, and how AI won't just speed things up, it'll fundamentally change what's possible in retail. Vivek explains why brand equity matters more than the platform you sell on, how 800+ physical stores are powering digital growth, and why he believes shopping will become conversational by 2030.

Plus, there's the story of how one eloquent speech at an engineering college changed his entire career trajectory, and why he's so careful about letting ChatGPT into his creative process (spoiler: he fixed his washing machine with it, but won't let it do his thinking).

If you're curious about where omnichannel is headed, how to build culture while scaling globally, and what it means to be an "and" company instead of an "or" company, this one's essential listening.

From Excel sheets to AI agents, how do you fix an industry that's been running on relationships and spreadsheets for decades?

In this episode of Retail Re:Mix Stories, we sit down with Harsh Sajnani, CEO and Founder of Kingpin, who's building the future of B2B commerce. Coming from three generations of wholesale and retail (his grandfather was literally driving fabrics between Dubai and Al Ain in the 1950s), Harsh tried to escape the family business... but ended up rebuilding it entirely.

This conversation gets into the good stuff. We're talking about a world where AI understands your shop's needs better than a spreadsheet ever could, where two stores on the same street get personalized assortments automatically, and where buyers finally stop juggling 20 different logins. Harsh explains why most B2B platforms miss the point, how technology amplifies rather than replaces human relationships, and the thinking behind the "Kingpin" name.

Plus, there's an Ironman story that involves going from 20kg heavier to race-ready, with another race happening in three days. Because apparently building a tech startup wasn't challenging enough.

If you're curious about where B2B is headed, how AI changes the game without losing the human touch, and what drives someone to tackle both business and endurance challenges, this one's worth your time.
