Ankitt Jain is the Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Paper Arizona, a pioneering B2B marketplace transforming India’s paper, pulp, and packaging supply chain. A fourth-generation entrepreneur from a legacy paper business family, he launched the venture in 2022 after witnessing the systemic inefficiencies and lack of digitization in traditional procurement models. His mission: to simplify and modernize the industry through a secure, transparent, and tech-enabled platform—bringing the ease of e-commerce into enterprise buying.
Beyond his role at Paper Arizona, Ankitt is a passionate enabler of India’s startup ecosystem. As a startup mentor and angel investor, he has supported over 150 founders and backed 18+ ventures, including Shiplog, Oopar Club, Healspan, Urja Sathi, and Aptizeo. He is also the voice behind The Knick Knack Show, a social-impact podcast with 12,000+ subscribers, where he engages changemakers and delves into topics ranging from grassroots innovation to systemic reform.
