Founder Vikava Labs

Hey there, I’m Puneet 🙌
I’m the founder of Sun International, Airlit, and VIKAVA Labs.

VIKAVA Labs is a Self-sustainable eco system for the Fashion industry.
The fashion industry comprises apparel, home furnishings & lifestyle accessories.
Vikava Labs comprises unique & innovative multiple tech platforms for SME fashion export houses & B2C brands to help & support them with all the operational processes like R&D, innovation, designing, sourcing & supply chain management, digital marketing & web development, Mentoring & consultation and sales, which would create a robust support system by deploying the futuristic IOT solutions, like AI, Block Chain & WEB 3.0.
VIKAVA Labs fuses the power of collaboration & networking with new age technology to achieve all round unique solutions in form of creating new job opportunities & enterprise sustainable growth.

Over the last two decades, have backed commercial, Prêt-à-Porter fashion brands, labels under Sun International with ethical manufacturing and designing services by providing superior quality knitted apparel & knitted accessories. As well as handmade fabrics for home furnishings & apparels sector.

My passion for product development helped convert this critical segment of knitted apparel and soft furnishings (made from handmade fabrics) from unorganized to organized sector. Making it not only commercially viable but ensuring timely project completion with all testing parameters in consideration.

My mantra of fair dealing, in-depth knowledge of yarns & knitting techniques, quality-conscious manufacturing and full transparency has connected me with various renowned brands including UNITED COLORS OF BENETTON, LIFESTYLE in the domestic segment and ANTHROPOLOGIE, SEALAND, MARK LAUGE, GREEN COTTON, GOCCO, ROCLAN, etc. in the international arena.
Then, in 2019, a pandemic happened, and I had to take a step back to face the situation.

After recognizing extensive hoardings, black marketing, a sheer demand, and supply gap, I made it a point to contribute to the supply by creating disposable surgical & N95 and cotton reusable masks, keeping all precautions & controlled production conditions with the right specifications, using fabrics & materials which are of specified specifications and approved by respective certified labs, with like-minded entrepreneurs.
Pandemic was seen as a low point in their lives by everyone, but I found it as a corrective action period, an era of realization & enlightenment. It provided me with an opportunity to build a community, take new initiatives & risks, and join hands to serve the community at large with various initiatives.

One such initiative was, Airlit, where I made it a point to help Indian tribal artists to face the heat of the pandemic. This unprecedented time provided me an opportunity to learn more about our historical and tribal art forms and manufactured products with an aim to highlight artistry and uplift artists by providing them with business opportunities and visibility.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"We found eChai to be a force multiplier throughout our startup journey. Through it, we connected with folks from DevX, Allevents, Plutomen, and more - many of whom became friends of IndiaBizForSale.com and even part of our clientele."

“You don’t plan to build a company via eChai. You just keep showing up … and one day, you realize you did.” I’ve known Jatin since 2012, when I was still deciding what kind of second innings I wanted to play as an entrepreneur. Over the years, through events, chai breaks, intros, and seemingly small conversations, eChai helped shape not just Upsquare but also refined the lens through which we see collaboration. At Upsquare, we’ve hired talent, met partners, discovered co-investors, and built lifelong friendships. One of our joint ventures exists today only because a casual eChai memory sparked a deeper trust. Now, as we build House of Starts — our venture builder — eChai continues to fuel our mission: co-creating a shared future. eChai isn’t just a startup network. It’s a trust network. And for business builders like me, that makes all the difference."

"If there’s one phrase that sums up my journey, it’s truly ‘The eChai Effect.’ Six years ago, I simply walked into my first eChai event, not knowing what to expect. The honest conversations, energy, and inspiration from founders and entrepreneurs struck a chord within me. That eChai spark became the catalyst for everything to follow. I proudly say: my entrepreneurship journey started—and keeps evolving—because of eChai. Redicine Medsol’s story is integrally linked to this community. I’ve gained so much, not just as a founder but as a forever volunteer and grateful member of the eChai family. With all my heart, thank you Jatin Bhai and everyone at eChai for shaping, guiding, and supporting my dreams. The eChai Effect will always be a part of my story."
