We know these Indian clothing brands are looks and sound way too Foreign, but yes, these are Purely Indian…
If you have listened to the old famous song “Mera Joota Hai Japani, Ye Patloon Englishtani.” The lines represent and resemble the mindset of the average Indian, who has always favored international brands over local ones.

Customers are consciously purchasing products from Indian brands like never before, especially in the clothing segment.
