Gulaal

If your designs could speak, what would they say?

"I'm a burst of color for your life! Let's celebrate together."

What are the signature elements in your designs?

At Gulaal, we offer affordable luxury with high-quality fabrics, essential pockets, vibrant colors inspired by Holi, and unique embroidery, ensuring comfort, functionality, and individuality in every piece.

Which celebrity or personality do you dream of dressing?

Which collection are you most proud of, and why?

Our first ever Gulaal Luxe Collection. It's the first time we ventured into a segment that was completely new to a - a very different price point. And I am proud of the fact that we could bring Gulaal's twist to those garments. It was 2 years back and outfits from that collection are still the bestsellers.

Where do you find inspiration for your designs?

For twelve years, my office has been the world. Everywhere I go, I subconsciously people-watch, drawing inspiration from unique style moments like a woman in a Tokyo subway or a man in a Parisian cafe. Hidden gem shops in villages burst with local flavor, colors, textures, and traditional techniques that ignite my design creativity. I blend this global inspiration with India's rich craft heritage, creating modern, exciting pieces like hand-embroidered silks or flowy silhouettes fit for Parisian streets.

Which designer in the world inspires you?

I am a very simple person, don't follow a lot of designers or anyone. But truly PERU does exceptionally beautiful designs and honestly, I also love the color combos of Rajasthani local women when they wear poshaks. JUST SO BOLD.

Share a memorable "aha" moment from your design career.

When we had just started out of nowhere - we got featured in LBB. Before that, I was slightly underconfident about the fact that people would accept Gulaal. But that one instance gave me a big boost. We had close to 0 marketing budget back then. But still, we got noticed. That made me feel really good.
