Pangaia has adopted an original approach ever since it was launched in 2018. More than a brand, the eco-sustainable label has styled itself as a materials science company organised around a collective of scientists, designers, engineers and artists. Until now, Pangaia has opted for an international dimension, with hubs in London, Florence and New York. Its aim is to develop an essentially streetwear range by using the most sustainable materials possible, with the goal of making their use in apparel production more widespread, and more rapidly so.

On April 1, Pangaia appointed Krishna Nikhil as its new CEO. Nikhil is a former consultant at McKinseySsense

“In this newly created role, Krishna Nikhil will be responsible for shaping the direction and accelerating the growth of the brand, which has become known for bringing material science innovations to the world through a range of products and experiences,” stated Pangaia in a press release, adding that “Nikhil will work closely with the founding members of the company and its global teams to support the delivery of material science innovations, entry into new verticals, and expansion of digital and physical platforms, while ensuring that Pangaia’s mission of being Earth-positive remains at the forefront.”
