Established in July 2014 under Relevant E-solutions Pvt. Ltd., Roposo is the brainchild of three IIT Delhi alumni – Mayank Bhangadia, Avinash Saxena, and Kaushal Shubhank. Under Bhangadia's leadership, the company pivoted from a fashion-based network into a short-form video platform with AI-powered moderation, and its journey was featured as a Harvard Business Publishing case study.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/technology/social/roposo-short-form-video-platform-mayank-bhangadia-interview-6450462/|title=Roposo wants to become the clean video platform, 50 million Indians agree|website=The Indian Express|date=June 9, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://hbsp.harvard.edu/product/IMB635-PDF-ENG|title=Roposo.com: Share Your Style – Entrepreneurial Pivoting and Strategic Thinking in Indian Fashion Social Networking|website=Harvard Business Publishing|date=2017}}</ref>
