LFA Fellow

Malini Kannan is co-founder of Nūl Global Technologies, a fashion technology startup using agentic AI, data science, and machine learning to help global fashion brands move toward zero-waste production. The platform optimizes how brands plan, allocate, and replenish inventory: reducing overproduction while improving profitability. The name, Nūl, is the word for "thread," the foundation of every garment.

Before launching Nūl, Malini spent months at Wavemaker Impact's climate tech venture studio mapping every known decarbonization play in the fashion industry. What she found was a clear opportunity to reimagine fashion operations from the ground up.

Through LFA, Malini built the climate foundation and systems-level perspective that helped her identify where technology could move the needle in one of the world's highest-emission industries.

Malini is working on the supply chain side of fashion decarbonization: less visible than the consumer-facing work, and more structurally significant.
