Excerpts from an interview:

Q. What kind of clothes do you prefer to wear and design?
A. I like to wear and design Indo-Western clothes. The DNA of my clothes is Indian but they are interpreted in a modern and contemporary way.

Q. What is the USP of your designs? Who is your main target group?
A. Understated glamour, impeccable fit and finish are the cornerstones of my design. My target group comprises women who are modern, experimental, well-travelled, yet respect their roots.
