TARGET AUDIENCE
8. Aashray and Ashish met in the US in hostel building. They soon became friends and
then roommates. Since they were in the US for a longer period of time, their
clothing requirements too changed. They used to get a variety of options ranging
from casuals, office wear to party outfits. After seven years, when they came back to
India, they experienced a dent in the Indian garment market and analysed that
affordable apparel is low quality and quality apparel is excruciatingly high priced.
The most appalling fact being that India is one of the biggest manufacturers to the
best brands in the world, yet finding high quality and great looking apparel was a
task. Thus, they decided to dig deeper into why luxury brands charge such a high
premium even though the designs were not vastly different. They found out even if
the fabric used is of higher quality the price still does not justify the 10X mark-ups.
9. WHY
High quality, comfortable and stylish
clothing is always overpriced. While
those which are affordable, are not up
to the mark. To solve this problem,
Aashray Thatai and Ashish Gurnani,
started up Post Fold- a house of
affordable yet classy apparels.
HOW
Hence, they came up with a business
model where they manufacture and style
apparel using high-quality fabrics and
keep the fixed costs low, and curate
clothes with experienced stylists so that
they can suggest attire from ‘Desk to
Dinner’. Post Fold was founded with a
bootstrapped capital of Rs 5 lakh.
