About Varun Mahajan

Reflecting on my career, I resonate deeply with Steve Jobs’ wisdom: “You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards.” Looking back on my journey, I see how every experience has led me to where I am today.At Sage, I learned the power of customer obsession — the art of creating extraordinary experiences that truly delight. My two failed startups? They taught me resilience, the importance of never giving up, and how to keep pushing forward, no matter the challenges.Now, at Atoz, I’m connecting those dots. I’m using what I’ve learned about resilience and customer focus to build an ecosystem of companies — Atoz, Aurora, and Kaleidoscope. Atoz is redefining home decor with innovation and craftsmanship. Aurora is leveraging AI to push the boundaries of design, and Kaleidoscope is a community where diverse, visionary designers come together to create and collaborate.Along the way, I’ve also realized that building a billion-dollar business isn’t enough. We need to take care of the planet we live on and be better humans. I’m focused on building companies that not only strive for business growth but also contribute to making the world a better place to live in.
