Mukund Thakkar came up with the idea for Mastermind Bicycle Studio after a transformative cycling trip from London to Paris. Realizing the lack of premium cycling products and practices in India, he started the business at the age of 26. Since then, the business has consistently grown at a rate of 55% to 65% YoY, with a strong focus on customer engagement and a physical presence combined with a digital strategy.

How much they make: $660K/year
How much did it cost to start: $95K
Current team size: 26
