Founded in 1997 by Kishore Biyani under the Future Group, Pantaloons began as a menswear brand before expanding into a large-format retail chain.

In 2012, Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Limited acquired the brand. It remains a key entity in the history of Indian department stores and mass-market fashion distribution.
