Sahachari Foundation is a Trust established in 2009 by a group of ladies, for the betterment of the lesser
privileged in the fields of education, healthcare, socio-economic upliftment and the promotion of culture. The
groupâs philanthropic objectives are achieved by organizing specially-designed events at which individuals
and corporations are invited to participate and take advantage of the visibility and branding opportunities
offered. All proceeds are given to deserving NGOs.
Sahachari Foundation has a collaborative arrangement with National Centre for Performing Arts, Mumbai, for
hosting special cultural events.

Every year, Sahachari Foundation lends a helping hand to the activities of deserving NGOs by funding their
specific requirements. The Foundationâs own members track and monitor the utilization of funds.

renowned and upcoming designers from across India feature under one roof at the exhibition.

14. CURRENT SCENARIO & TRENDS
âThe COVID-19 pandemic may bring a major change in the consumers' mindset and the value system that
underpin their luxury buying decisions" â says Dr. Sheetal Jain in a Business Today article on 23rd March.
Marketers across industries are trying to redesign their business models and the luxury industry is no exception.
Consumers may indulge in hedonistic purchases which make them feel better in this stressful period. This has been
termed as 'revenge or retaliatory spending'.
Fear of infection has hit luxury shopping malls hard, as a result of which consumers will be reluctant to go out in
crowded areas.
Because of this crisis, people may be willing to spend on products linked to sustainable fashion, that reflect their
own values and beliefs and will be emotionally inclined to indulge in charity options.
Most Brands are going online: The British Fashion Council (BFC) hosted the London Fashion Week online for the
first time in its 40-year history, for fashion designers to show their collections and inspirations from 12th to 14th
June 2020.
Zaraâs owner and the worldâs top clothing retailer â Spain-based Inditex â mentioned in a Live Mint article that
they expect the Covid-19 crisis to turbocharge the shift toward e-commerce.
High speed and Ease of technology is facilitating this shift
15. VISION 2020
Leveraging the Design One brand to continue to service the various
stakeholders: NGOs, the participants, our shoppers, by creating an
online presence that keeps us relevant and gives us an alternative
during todayâs uncertain times.
Our end purpose to raise funds from the platform and empower
women entrepreneurs provides a unique positioning from existing E-
commerce sites and possibly the opportunity to be the first to put
forward a large-scale Online Exhibition to complement our very
popular on ground exhibitions.
This Unique Shopping Experience is constructed bearing in mind our
cumulative strengths of curation, empowering home-grown talent
and new brands that need visibility and a platform, while providing
ease of shopping and browsing.
16. WHY DESIGNONE ONLINE?
To complement our physical exhibitions: As D1 physical exhibitions have amazing strengths we would only
add to them
To stay relevant in current unprecedented times: According to a recent Economic Times report, the luxury
market is at a very nascent stage and is rapidly growing. However, unforeseen events like this pandemic are
forcing luxury brands to take steps on all fronts to keep the industry growing.
To take the right opportunity in the market: As per the recent McKinsey Report, India is home to the second
largest digital base in the world. From the current estimate of around 600 million internet users, it is projected
to reach 800 million users by 2023. With the democratization of the internet, rising number of HNIs, increase
in brand consciousness and a growing number of new age consumers, the online luxury market in India is
ready to bloom.
To keep the engagement with patrons and consumers: Luxury brands now need to create deeper and more
meaningful engagement with their modern computer savvy consumer base by delivering a new range of
personalised experiences and innovating both their business models and value propositions to suit modern
digital-infused lifestyles.
17. WHY DESIGNONE ONLINE?
To provide the power of choice and comparison at your finger tips: The traditional ways of doing retail are
no longer effective and require a radical makeover. Mobile commerce is blooming worldwide as a growing
number of consumers are using their smartphones to research, compare, purchase and return products. The
online marketplace will help the consumers compare products and check their prices v/s offerings, since this
procedure cuts the actual process of manually going from store to store, customers can make quick and
informed decisions.
Blurring Borders: The online platform will make it easier to vastly expand our reach in engaging with not only
buyers but for participants as well making it easier for those who cannot reach physical exhibitions to offer
their products.
The Art of Giving: The major component of our website which is one of the key motivators behind the
consumerâs choice to shop with us. Our efforts will be to weave our USP, which is The Art of Giving and have a
larger donation strategy allowing people to be altruistic as they shop.
18. SALIENT FEATURES OF DESIGNONE ONLINE
Using Magento 2.0 Marketplace technology, DesignOne online will be available 24x7 throughout the year thus
encouraging continuous engagement and sales where customers can buy and send gifts, bouquets, chocolates etc.
as per their need from the comfort of their home. We will also present 2 virtual exhibitions for Diwali and Spring
Summer and 2 pop-up showrooms, for Christmas and Rakhi, together with interactive videos, webinars and
podcasts.
In Better times, we propose the physical exhibition and online simultaneously to reach out to shoppers pan India
and later internationally. Further DesignOne physical exhibitions can be promoted through this platform and will
give us an opportunity to introduce the traditional show experience online â such as using countdown stickers
instead of physical fashion week invitations, and shopping tags, to drive product sales.
The new digital platform enabled to be used from any device mobile, ipad, laptop, will enable the participants to
show their collections thus taking consumer engagement to next level.
This is uniquely positioned to be different from other e-commerce sites and will possibly be one of the first to put
forward a large-scale online exhibition, a marketplace. The Artificial Intelligence prompted advanced analytics
help see consumer behaviour, keep in touch with customers, assess vendor profitability and products. We will have
access to real-time data to help make decisions.
