E13: Gihan Amarasiriwardena: Co-Founder + President, Ministry of Supply

Gihan Amarasiriwardena co-founded Ministry of Supply with Aman
Advani at MIT in 2012 united by a shared passion for hacking
clothes, making more comfortable dress shirts and socks from
their favorite athletic gear. For over a decade since launching
on Kickstarter, and having some of the most successful fashion
campaigns in the platform's history, the Boston-based workleisure
company's mission with every product has been to provide a
balance of scientifically-backed comfort and convenience. MOS has
become known for engineering many of the world's firsts,
including their 3D computerized-knit blazer, their intelligent
heated jacket with "smart thermostat" and voice control
functionality, their first carbon-neutral certified dress shirt
and many others.
