Campus Sutra was started in 2014 when fashion ecommerce in India was beginning
to take shape. Aditya along with other co-founders realised that the Indian apparel
market, especially the one that caters to the youth, was not in sync with current
trends and happenings. They felt the market was very disoriented in terms of
wearing – which should revolve around a person’s lifestyle or should reflect upon
their thinking. For instance, there were nothing representing true campus life or what
a student does such as engineering, management, or other academic streams.
Campus Sutra started with stream-based products targeted at a niche audience with
apparel geared towards students of management, engineering, medical, science,
arts, law, and professions such as technology, accountancy, etc., or areas such as
sports, music and cricket.
The Vision of Campus Sutra now is to “Create the biggest House of Global SuperBrands in the lifestyle segment” The time is ripe to create the next set of global brands from India. Campus Sutra is poised to pioneer that movement and establish Indian brands on the global map.
