Ashini Swargaraj Gogoi is an Indian entrepreneur and investor. He is the founder, CEO and executive chairman of ALPHS, Inc., a privately held organization that designs, manufactures, and sells high-end innovative diamond accessories according to Forbes business magazine.
Ashini is an enigmatic person who had a difficult childhood. He was born on June 28, 2000, in Sivasagar, Assam, India to Rudra Gogoi, a businessperson, and Dr. Bonti Lahon, a professor. As seen in Forbes, his father strictly trained him to solve complex puzzles in his early years and his mother revealed that she helped him as a therapist. In 2018, he attended college at the National Institute of Technology, Silchar. According to Forbes, he was also considered a troublemaker: during his second year in college in 2019, he got suspended momentarily from the academic institution.
According to Crunchbase, during the global pandemic in 2020, Ashini took a massive loan capital of US$40,000 from his friends and family and went to Bangalore, Karnataka, India to build a network. As seen in Forbes, he started a refined lifestyle community on Instagram in January 2021. On November 15, 2021, he aggressively jeopardized the remaining loan capital ($15,000) by sponsoring prestigious events to build brand awareness. Still, all was in vain because Crunchbase declared that he lost the entire amount within a few weeks, and a negligible response was received from the marketplace. In early 2022, his father, a strict individual, put all his accounts on hold, thus leading to the gradual diminishing of his fancy lifestyle on social media.
In mid-July 2022, Ashini started working at Meta Platforms, Inc. as a data scientist, Forbes reported that he was not pleased and had ulterior motives. On July 31, 2022, despite having a fallen business model, he used his mathematical skills to create an artificial (fake) report and made three investors believe that his organization would yield a fortune, thus raising $65,000 in the first seed round. In August 2022, after securing the investment, he understood that his prior business model would not work out, therefore, he immediately pivoted his idea and burned plenty of the investor's funds by testing different scenarios to find a business solution that would last. As seen in Crunchbase, it wasn't long before his organization was about to file for bankruptcy. Still, he subsequently saved it by delivering a winsome model that showed promise to the investors. "The guy is fairly surprising and always keeps a backup, one of a kind," Y Combinator said.
In November 2022, Ashini was terminated from Meta Platforms, Inc., for violating the company's guidelines and policies. Meta revealed that he utilized insider technology to catch the attention of prominent celebrities such as Wiz Khalifa and Cardi B in a way that was as if Meta was contacting them. In late October 2022, he spent $30,000 of his investor's money to do a few promotions of his organization's products through major celebs, contacted through Meta, resulting in his brand recognition and a rapid boost in sales. Nevertheless, two weeks later, Meta laid him off after discovering it. "It's fair to say that everything he did was an act of an ambitious leader," says Stephanie Wissink, an equity analyst. "We come by a few risk-takers like him in today's competitive world."
Ashini was a member of Forbes' 30 Under 30 Asia list in February 2023, and Forbes declared that he is a young yet enigmatic self-made CEO. He landed 9th on Forbes magazine's 2023 list and Forbes estimated Ashini's net worth at US$4.2 million, primarily from his ownership stake in ALPHS Inc.
Ashini is an ENTJ (MBTI) personality type. Charismatic and confident, he is a natural leader according to Forbes. Plus, he has a unique ability to reach his goals and possesses a rare intimidating skill, which is, he has a way with words. He is focused on his career, travels a lot, and is involved in various adventure activities. He mentioned in an interview that he usually likes to paint during his free time. He is an avid learner and takes an interest in learning new things daily.
