Krishna Nikhil Named First Chief Executive Officer of London Based Material Innovation Company PANGAIA

Pangaia, a material innovation business, has selected Krishna Nikhil as its first global chief executive officer, beginning April 1, 2022.

Nikhil has been entrusted with "defining the brand's direction and boosting its development," according to a news statement from the firm. 

Nikhil will collaborate with the company's founding members and worldwide teams to support existing projects, extend the company's digital and physical platforms, and enter new markets.

At the moment, the company's clothing segment is expanding its retail presence primarily via pop-up shops built in conjunction with premium department stores. Its physical presence is focused on teaching the public about its innovations and sustainable practises, while the venues themselves strive to offset all of retail's carbon emissions.

Developing a company model that is guided by science

"I have seen Pangaia's quick development and am extremely motivated by the idea of creating an earth positive firm,"

Nikhil expressed. He also added that he was delighted to be a part of the Pangaia collective and the worldwide community that has sprung up around such an enlightening goal.

He also mentioned that he was looking forward to collaborating with the team to help the group's beneficial influence on the globe accelerate. The firm has grown rapidly in its first two years, launching a variety of vibrant garments and pioneering material innovations, including its Plnt Fiber and Flwrdwn initiatives.

Pangaia is continuing its mission to develop a business model guided by research, with a focus on environmental protection. Pangaia Pact, the brand's current strategy, is a component of the brand's objective in this area, with a focus on three key pillars: carbon neutrality, circularity, and meaning.

The hiring of Nikhil marks the beginning of the company's next era of development and influence. Nikhil offers expertise from his previous roles as chief merchandising officer and chief marketing officer at Ssense, where he played a critical role in the company's expansion as a premium fashion platform.
