As part of the initiative Hard Currency has recently introduced a collection of shirts and is also looking forward to increasing the product portfolio. Alongside, it has also launched a range of casual trousers.

Hard Currency is a mid-segment brand and caters to a wide audience, ranging from the fashion conscious to the simple and sophisticated, aged between 18-40 years.

“We keep in mind fit, style, quality, comfort and price when offering our products. For instance, with a lot of companies moving from formal to casuals as work attire, there is more demand for casual clothing. We recognized this demand and introduced casual shirts and trousers along with our range of denims” adds, Ms Chandan.

Hard Currency is currently available through 500 MBOs and in the next six month, plans to add 400 more and also venture into Tamil Nadu with and is also exploring a foray in the Mumbai market before entering Punjab.
