Dhruv Kapoor co-founded Zilingo in 2015 and led its technology.

Dhruv Kapoor is a co-founder of Zilingo. He started the Singapore company in 2015 with Ankiti Bose, and he led its technology.

Zilingo first put small Asian fashion sellers online. In 2018 its seller-management tool was profitable. By September 2019 about 80% of revenue was business to business, and the company's valuation was near $1 billion.

In 2020 Zilingo closed its US and Australian offices and cut about 12% of staff. Ankiti Bose was suspended on 31 March 2022 and dismissed on 20 May 2022, after a forensic investigation. In June 2022 the two co-founders proposed a management buyout.

The buyout did not save the company. Zilingo's technology assets were sold to Buyogo in January 2023, and the company went into liquidation in February 2023.
