Education
We recently had an insightful conversation with the Ex-CEO of Myntra & Founder of Virgio, and the discussion went far beyond trends, collections, and marketing.
We spoke about the realities of fashion as a business—the parts most people don’t talk about.
Here are a few powerful takeaways from the episode
The Darker Side of Fashion
Fast cycles, excess inventory, margin pressure, and unsustainable practices—fashion is exciting on the surface, but brutally complex underneath.
Why 90%+ Fashion Brands Don’t Survive
It’s not lack of creativity.
It’s weak fundamentals, poor unit economics, short-term thinking, and ignoring consumer evolution.
How the Fashion Industry Is Evolving
From “more, faster, cheaper” to purpose, profitability, and responsibility.
The future belongs to brands that build systems, not just styles.
What is Virgio — and Why It’s More Than a Fashion Brand
Virgio is a strong example of how conscious fashion can be built without compromising on scale, design, or business viability.
Role of Businesses in Building Conscious Brands
Sustainability isn’t a marketing campaign.
It’s a leadership decision—embedded in sourcing, operations, pricing, and culture.
The Shift in Consumer Behaviour
Today’s consumers are asking:
Where was this made?
Who made it?
Why does this brand exist?
How to Survive & Thrive in the New Business of Fashion
The answer lies at the intersection of:
Clarity of purpose + strong business fundamentals + deep consumer understanding
