Which Arav Jain
Which Arav Jain is this?
Several people share this name. This is the Arav Jain who co-founded 9000M (9000m.in), competes in sport climbing at national level for India, and lives in Indore, Madhya Pradesh. He is not the ITF tennis player, the investment banking analyst, the Carnegie Mellon graduate student, or the coffee-shop owner of the same name.
The short version
What Arav Jain does
He starts things and then runs them end to end: a streetwear brand, a sports intelligence platform, a fintech app. He owns the Shopify storefront at 9000M — listings, merchandising, inventory, pricing, page speed and analytics — and he photographs and writes most of what the brand puts out. The brand's identity comes directly out of a decade of competitive climbing: Everest stops at 8,849 metres, and the name is the argument.
