Women-led fashion & apparel startups in India

Apparel, jewellery, accessories and lingerie brands built by women founders.

247 women-led companies · 11 with a full founder story · Last updated 23 September 2026

Fashion sits at the intersection of taste and operations, which is a harder combination than it looks. A brand can have a beautiful aesthetic and still drown in unsold inventory. The women-led fashion companies in this directory have had to be designers and supply-chain operators at once, getting both the product and the unglamorous logistics right.

The facet spans apparel, jewellery, accessories and lingerie. Some founders built around a category the market under-served; others rethought fit, sizing or sourcing. Browse by stage and city, and open a company to read its founder story where one exists.
