Today, on Voices For Local, we feature the first online custom shirt brand in India – Bombay Shirt Company. Its dynamic founder Akshay Narvekar speaks to Monisha about gamifying the process of custom-designing your own shirt using a unique algorithm, making it through a pandemic in which people were stuck at home not wearing shirts to work or parties, acquiring brands looking to scale up and giving them a platform, putting customer care and after sales service over digital marketing and content creation, and what keeps him going during trying times. He also opens up about his reading and splurging habits, and what kind of boss he is!  To check out Bombay Shirt Company’s work, log onto their website www.bombayshirts.com, and follow their journey on Instagram @bombayshirts. And to keep up with Monisha Singh Katial, follow her on Instagram @monishasinghkatial.

Akshay Narvekar (Bombay Shirt Company)

Fashion has always been a space that has been fascinating. Not just as a consumer but as someone looking at the industry outside in and seeing a constant set of shifts that have been changing not just how we as consumers buy but also how the industry as a whole functions. What’s also driven this shift has been brands that have started off as D2C brands and evolving to a balance between D2C, brick and mortar stores while evolving their product offering based on the backbone of data and delivering by leveraging technology.One such company that has brought back the bespoke trend while expanding to an omnichannel approach is Bombay Shirt Company.Tune into this episode, as Varun speaks to Akshay Narvekar, Founder &amp; CEO of Bombay Shirt Company about his journey and the evolution of the business.Follow Akshay Narvekar on Instagram: @akshaynarvekarSign onto Varun's new newsletter at: Varunduggi.comTalk to Varun Duggirala on Twitter and Instagram: @varunduggiPlease send in your feedback at talktous@indusvox.comYou can listen to this show and other awesome shows on the IVM Podcasts app on Android: https://ivm.today/android or iOS: https://ivm.today/ios, or any other podcast app.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
