Yashesh Mukherjee Founder, Chupps

Yashesh is the architect of Chupps' soul, merging his Morgan Stanley financial rigor with a deep personal commitment to sustainable living. Growing up in a footwear family, he learned early that shoes aren't just utility; they're identity. His years in the US and UK showed him that comfort could be aspirational, not an afterthought, and he returned to India determined to change the conversation. His personal vegan lifestyle isn't branding; it's the foundation. Every decision at Chupps, from TruZero™ biodegradable soles to plastic-free packaging, stems from his refusal to separate sustainability from style. Yashesh envisions Chupps as proof that eco-conscious products can dominate mainstream markets, not just niche circles. Educated at Fordham Gabelli School of Business, Yashesh brings strategic discipline to visionary ambition. Under his leadership, Chupps has scaled to 300+ cities and international markets while partnering with cultural giants like ICC and IPL, showing that responsible entrepreneurship and rapid growth aren't contradictions, they're the future. What drives him: Changing the Indian consumer mindset, proving that doing good and looking good are the same choice.
