About Yash Agarwal
I’m Yash Agarwal – a computer science grad who traded lines of code for building companies that actually move the needle.My career kicked off at Cognizant, solving tech challenges for some of the world’s biggest banks. But in 2011, I stepped into my family’s stockbroking business, Chuknoo Securities Ltd, where I reimagined how a traditional trading floor could operate in a digital-first world.From upgrading systems to scaling operations, I brought speed, efficiency, and a modern edge to the business.But finance was just the beginning.I founded Naturant Industries Pvt. Ltd. and built Micro Defence – India’s first “Just Add Water” cleaning solution.The mission? Simple: cut down single-use plastic waste and make sustainable cleaning the norm, not the exception. The result: 80% less plastic, real cost savings and products that work just as well for families as they do for Fortune 500-level companies.Today, we have partnered with JCB, UK to bring next-gen industrial cleaning solutions to India. We’re merging global innovation with local execution – because that’s where true impact happens.Here’s my playbook:Spot the problem everyone ignores.Build the product or system that solves it.Scale it with real-world impact.I live at the intersection of finance, sustainability and technology and I believe business should drive both profit and progress. Always open to conversations that create action, not just noise.
