Most 14-year-olds focus on homework and weekend plans. Arsh Gogna is managing hundreds of pairs of limited-release sneakers and designer streetwear each month through a wholesale operation generating six-figure revenue, quietly making waves in the resale economy.
Retail Deals, the company Gogna founded, acts as a bridge between suppliers and the fragmented world of sneaker retailers and individual resellers. By moving inventory consistently and in bulk, the company has carved out a niche in a market where access to products often determines success.
The Supply Chain Advantage
The sneaker and streetwear resale market has exploded, creating opportunities for operations that can solve a persistent problem: consistent access to product. While individual resellers scramble for limited drops, wholesale suppliers like Retail Deals work directly with sources to secure inventory before it hits broader markets.
The company’s approach centers on speed and volume. Rather than chasing single pairs of rare releases, Retail Deals sources large quantities of trending items and distributes them through wholesale channels to sneaker stores and through major resale marketplaces such as StockX, eBay, and Grailed for individual buyers. “The biggest challenge in the resale market is consistent inventory,” Gogna said. “Our goal with Retail Deals is to give retailers and resellers reliable access to high-demand products.” This dual-channel strategy maintains consistent turnover while serving different segments of the market.
Building at Scale
What started as an entrepreneurial experiment has grown into a legitimate wholesale operation. Retail Deals has surpassed six figures in total sales, reflecting both demand in the resale market and the operational systems Gogna has built. Managing supplier relationships, pricing strategy, warehouse logistics, and distribution channels requires organization that many established businesses struggle to implement.
Reliability and access define the company’s value proposition. In a market where hot products sell out in minutes and restocks are unpredictable, operations that can deliver consistent inventory are essential partners for retailers and resellers alike.
Million-Dollar Vision
Gogna aims to reach $10 million in sales before turning 18, a goal that requires scaling supplier networks, expanding warehouse capabilities, and potentially sourcing products globally. Retail Deals is actively building the infrastructure to support larger inventory flows while maintaining speed and reliability. As the resale economy professionalizes, the teen-led wholesale operation is positioning itself as a recognized supplier in a market where timing, access, and execution are everything.
