Following his vision in August 2020, Ashini managed to take a loan capital of US$40,000 from his friends and family, his company started making headlines in major publications for the first time in November 2022, when the company signed a contract with the American rapper, Wiz Khalifa. The company is listed as a high-profile organization on Crunchbase and is actively offering its services in Tier 1 countries as of 2023—a statistical analysis showed that 87% of its customer base is women from the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Italy. The company's website gets active during major festivals only and consumers can purchase for a limited duration of seven days, hence selling out very quickly—their most affordable models that hold their value start between $850 and $1,200. "ALPHS Inc. is one of the most secretive young companies in corporate history next to the giant Rolex," says the American business newspaper, The Wall Street Journal. Reports suggest that Ashini took down several notable articles including Forbes, CNN, WSJ—while his organization was under suspicion by April 2023—the company claimed that their products were meticulously made and they had consistently maintained their values. The company has drawn criticism from multiple sources, with questions raised about its secretive nature, and faced numerous allegations on whether their business was legal—including a handful of law firms in the financial investigation—a rigorous background check was done which publicized that they operate as an online retailer—with the approval of the Jewelers Vigilance Committee—the materials used by the company were declared legitimate in October 2022. The company also produces high-quality films titled, "Inspired by best-selling novels" for customer retention and is investing enormous funds in the development of artificial intelligence. ALPHS headquarters were officially shifted from Hyderabad, India to Milan, Italy in March 2023 under the guidance of Y Combinator, the lead investor of the company.
