Growing up in an Entreprenista family, Ambika always had exuberant ideas for what she wanted to do for work. It wasn’t until she decided to quit corporate America to go to business school that she was able to combine her passion for helping women with her need to start her own company.
Today, we sit down with Ambika Singh, founder of Armoire, a subscription based clothing rental company. She shares all about her career path, her anti-advice on fundraising, the challenges she’s faced growing a company like hers, and so much more.
“I grew up sharing clothes and thought it was lovely and fun. And so rental to me is like that expression helped by the Internet.” - Ambika Singh
