Online fashion in Indian is already crowding, so how you plan to compete with fashion majors such as Jabong, Myntra etc.? 

Yes, it is true that the online fashion segment in our country has reached a level of saturation and that’s the only reason that we have come up with an absolutely different concept of designing our own apparels. Ellemora does not follow trends, instead we design new styles. We at Ellemora study forecast and conceptualize new styles and make them available on our website within days of conceptualization. Speaking about the competition, majors such as Jabong and Myntra do not come under the umbrella that we operate into as we are not just a portal that promotes different categories of products. Also in the near future we are looking forward for a channel association with Jabong, Myntra, Flipkart, and Amazon.
