Nitin Pamnani, a Delhi University alumnus
and Co-Founder of iTokri, draws inspiration from poet-activist Vidrohi to make
societal impacts through business. With iTokri, launched in 2010 with his wife
Jia in Gwalior, he fosters a sustainable lifestyle brand that elevates Indian
handicrafts and handlooms, providing a platform for artisans to connect with a
global audience. Nitin’s commitment to gender equality and economic empowerment
is evident in iTokri’s predominantly female team from underprivileged backgrounds.
Beyond business, Nitin, an award-winning filmmaker, is an avid nature
enthusiast, cyclist, and trekker with a deep spiritual belief system,
continuously working to preserve traditional crafts against the tide of fast
fashion.
