We will compare the terms and conditions and then settle with them. We have initiated talks with Lifestyle, Pantaloon and Central.” As of now, the company has three exclusive brand outlets in Kolhapur, Nasik and Sangli in Maharashtra. “We will gradually open more EBOs. We plan to start two or three EBOs a year,” Tulsiyan adds.

Denim as a garment has evolved over the years in terms of washes and styles. Young people love fancy denim, while older people stick to basic, so we have both the options. Cotton trousers have low demand but should grow in future.” The brand also makes cotton trousers and shirts. “Our designs are constantly evolving. To stay in the market, it’s essential to keep doing something fresh. So our products keep evolving,” he opines.
