Jaimin Gupta, founder of Barcelona Textile and the recent acquirer of Aarvee Denims Limited, one of India’s leading textile and denim manufacturers, made a significant impact as part of the young delegation at the 2025 Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF). Representing the voice of global youth, Gupta brought forward fresh perspectives on artificial intelligence (AI), entrepreneurship, and leadership to the forefront of international discussions.
At Davos, Gupta led impactful youth dialogue sessions, sharing innovative ideas and addressing key themes of entrepreneurial innovation and leadership. His contributions were closely tied to insights from the 2025 Global Youth Index Report, launched during the WEF. The report highlights youth-driven trends and the evolving role of young leaders in shaping the global agenda.
Gupta’s participation reflects his dual commitment to advancing the global textile industry and empowering young minds. Through his leadership in both Barcelona Textile and Aarvee Denims, Gupta aims to highlight the potential of India’s youth in creating smart, sustainable solutions for the challenges of tomorrow.
“As young leaders, we have a responsibility to shape a future that is innovative, inclusive, and impactful,” Gupta stated during one of his conversations.
This initiative aligns with his broader mission to support the next generation of leaders while amplifying their contributions to global progress.
