Who is the man behind Amvien Group?

Not every entrepreneur starts loud. Some just keep building—quietly, consistently—until you start noticing their work pop up in different corners of the internet. That’s exactly the vibe around Akshat Srivastava, the brain behind the growing Amvien Group. After working in business strategy and completing his MBA from NMIMS, Mumbai one of India’s top B-schools, Akshat walked away from the typical corporate track. Instead, he chose to start from scratch and build something of his own-what we now know as the Amvien Group. It’s not your typical startup. Amvien isn’t just one company-it’s a bunch of creative, design-led ventures across fashion, jewelry, influencer marketing, and even beauty. Think clean visuals, premium feel, and a quiet focus on aesthetics that stand out. There’s a fashion label, a natural diamond jewelry brand, a modeling agency, production company and more each with its own unique voice. What’s interesting is how low-key Akshat is about all of it.

Just Discovered Amvien — A very Underrated Brand Startup

Came across a company recently that I hadn’t heard of before - it’s called Amvien. From the surface, it looks like they’re building across multiple verticals  luxury, talent, marketing, and content and what stood out is that they seem to be doing it all bootstrapped! The founder’s name is Akshat Srivastava . From what I could gather, he has a corporate strategy background and is now running this multi-brand setup. There’s a jewelry label called Divienne, which has a very premium, clean aesthetic. Then there’s Amvien Talent, which seems to be their model and influencer management arm, Amvien Consulting, which looks like the marketing engine behind a lot of it, and Amvien Production, which seems to handle shoots and content creation. It all feels pretty tightly integrated  content from Divienne possibly doubling up as influencer assets, consulting powering campaigns, talent being managed in-house. It’s not the kind of scattered, one-brand-at-a-time approach most bootstrapped fou...
