History
Founded in 2000 by brothers Shantanu and Nikhil Mehra, the label emerged during a period of transition in Indian fashion. It moved away from heavy bridal embellishments toward minimalist, structured designs. The brand introduced the draped kurta for men, impacting contemporary ethnic wear trends. In 2019, Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Limited acquired a majority stake, representing a shift toward corporate integration within the Indian fashion industry.
