Urban Tailor commenced its operations in March 2015 and is currently offering services across Bengaluru. Within a year, Urban Tailor claims to have serviced over 20,000 customers recording a steady 40 per cent month-on-month growth and 52 per cent repeat customers.
Commenting on the potential of this untapped market, retail industry veteran and former MD, Shoppers Stop B. S. Nagesh says “As a retailer, I see two trends here – while offline and online sales of garments continue to be on the rise, I know that a large number of customers want custom made clothing to ensure better fit than readymade apparel. And the market for ready to stitch and fabric hasn't dipped either. With both, I believe there is a huge opportunity and potential for Urban Tailor to become a branded, nation-wide, on-demand service for tailoring and alterations, that is reliable and of high quality.”
Nagesh has invested in Urban Tailor alongside with Unitus Seed Fund and will be advising the company on strategy and growth. (SH)
