On Agarwal, Sinha said she brings “a sharp strategic mind and a keen entrepreneurial spirit” and that “she will be a tremendous asset for all our businesses in identifying new avenues of growth and creating innovative technology-enabled solutions”.
In December last year, VCCircle had reported that Kaaryah, co-founded by Agarwal, shut down because of lack of funds.
Kaaryah Lifestyle Solutions Pvt. Ltd, which operated the online fashion site, reported net sales of Rs 1.7 crore and losses of Rs 4 crore for the financial year 2015-16, showed data with VCCEdge, the research platform of News Corp VCCircle.

In December 2015, Kaaryah had raised an undisclosed amount in pre-Series A funding from former Infosys director TV Mohandas Pai and Saha Fund.
In June 2015, it had secured an undisclosed amount of funding from Ratan Tata.
Agarwal had established Kaaryah in early 2014. Prior to launching the venture, she was director of strategy at American multinational firm Honeywell International India Pvt Ltd.
