BulkMRO was founded by 37-year-old identical twin brothers Devang and Gaurang Shah. Raised in Mumbai, the two were always toppers in school. They later received scholarships to study at the Asheville School in North Caroline. Post high school, they got scholarships to pursue degrees in finance at the Wharton Business School and engineering at the Moore School of Engineering (University of Pennsylvania), respectively.
After university, Gaurang worked at McKinsey & Co in New York, while Devang worked at Wall Street at Deutsche Bank.
Once they got back to India, the duo was working in their family business, Gruppe Littlesilver, a consulting firm in the oil, power, and defence sector. During this period, they faced challenges in vendor management for long-tail procurement and, finding the challenge attractive enough to solve, decided to found BulkMRO.
