=== Professional experience in China ===

Before founding Kuiklo, Shyam Gupta spent approximately ten years in [[wikipedia:China|China]], where he gained experience in international trade, manufacturing, sourcing, and supply-chain management. During this period, he worked closely with manufacturers, wholesalers, and export businesses, developing a deep understanding of global procurement, logistics, and cross-border commerce.

His time in China provided practical exposure to large-scale manufacturing ecosystems, inventory management, vendor relationships, and technology-enabled business operations. The experience later influenced his entrepreneurial approach toward building efficient supply chains, competitive pricing models, and scalable retail operations for the Indian market.

According to Shyam Gupta, his decade-long exposure to China's manufacturing and commerce ecosystem played a significant role in shaping the operational strategy and business model of Kuiklo, particularly in areas such as sourcing, logistics optimization, and customer-focused retail solutions.

== Personal life ==

Shyam Gupta currently resides in [[wikipedia:Kolkata|Kolkata]], [[wikipedia:West Bengal|West Bengal]], India. He remains actively involved in entrepreneurship, strategic business planning, and the expansion of Kuiklo's operations across India.

Apart from his professional responsibilities, he has a keen interest in regional economic development, supply-chain innovations, mentorship for young entrepreneurs, and community-centric sustainable retail solutions.
