Zilingo's Cofounder and former CEO Ankiti Bose, zipped around the globe, leaving a trail of glitter and ambition in her sunshine days. She wasn't just any entrepreneur; she was the kind that makes history. Imagine being one of the first Indian women to kickstart a company valued at a cool billion. But, as it happens in the world of high stakes, fashion and tech dreams, the plot thickened for young Miss Bose.

After reaching the top and being celebrated as one of the elite female CEOs out there, Ankiti found herself in a bit of a pickle. A battle royale ensued with some investors and her business partner, amidst whispers of her being framed by certain shareholders. And just like that, she vanished from the limelight, working on a hush-hush financial services project for the last two years.

Ankiti's journey from Mumbai to the tech hall of fame is the stuff of legends. She didn't just enter the e-commerce game in Southeast Asia; she helped write the rules. However, after a fairy-tale start, things got rocky in 2022. Despite her denials, accusations flew, and some investors swooped in to

take control of her empire. Ankiti, ever the fighter, took to Instagram to voice her side, trying to support her team from the sidelines.

People always had a lot to say about Ankiti. Her drive and knack for execution were legendary, but so was her quest for perfection and, let's say, a certain confidence that rubbed some folks the wrong way. While jet-setting and shaking up the industry, she didn't always make friends.

But don't think she took it lying down. Ankiti fought back against online trolls with a legal shield and won. She's also in the ring, battling defamation suits to clear her name. With a team of top-notch lawyers from Singapore, India, and the US, she's all about setting the record straight and moving forward.

Despite the drama, the tech and finance worlds can't help but watch, waiting on the edge of their seats for Ankiti's next move. She's been through the wringer but remains unapologetically herself, especially on social media. So, what's next for Ankiti Bose? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure - it's going to be interesting.
