In 1958, well before American companies were sourcing from India, John Bissell left his position as a buyer for Macy’s New York to work as a consultant for the Ford Foundation in order to develop India’s export potential in its emerging textile industry. What Bissell discovered was a village-based industry with a profusion of skills hidden from the world. Determined to showcase Indian handloom textiles while providing equitable employment to traditional artisans, Bissell established Fabindia in 1960 in order to fuse the best aspects of East/West collaboration. Fifteen years later the first Fabindia retail store was opened in Greater Kailash, New Delhi with a range of upholstery fabrics, durries and home linens. By the early eighties, we started producing garments made from hand woven and hand block printed fabrics. Over the years the focus of Fabindia's marketing shifted from exports to the local Indian retail market. What started as an export house has today become a successful retail business presenting Indian textiles in a variety of natural fibers, and home products including furniture, lights and lamps, stationery, home accessories, pottery and cutlery. Extending this partnership to the farmers in rural areas, Fabindia launched its organic food products range in 2004. Fabindia Sana, the company’s authentic bodycare products range is also being launched at all Fabindia outlets. Fabindia sources its products from over 15000 craft persons and artisans across India. We support the craft traditions of India by providing a market and thereby encourage and sustain rural employment. Today we have retail outlets in all major cities of India - 217 last count - in addition to 11 international stores .

The story began in 1928, when a Nalli Chinnasami Chetty opened a store in Chennai, in the popular area of Thyagaraja Nagar. His vision was to make Nalli the ultimate saree destination, a hallmark of purity. When other stores closed down during the World War II, it was this landmark store which remained open to cater to customers needs. Such unmatched focus on customer centricity is what has made this an iconic name in silk sarees. Over the years, Nalli has opened its stores in major cities such as Bengaluru, Mumbai, Kochi, New Delhi, Kolkata, Hyderabad and many more. Under the guidance and direction of Ramnath Nalli, Nalli Silk Sarees has made geographical expansions by opening retail outlets in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad. He also started an exquisite shopping outlet of about 50,000 Sqft. in the heart of Chennai, a stone’s throw away from the original family run shop. Under the guidance of Ramnath Nalli, Nalli Silk Sarees is professionally managed, having retail outlets in various parts of India and offices in USA and Singapore. Joining the family business in 2012, Niranth Nalli decided to take the business into hitherto unexplored territories, opening the very first Nalli Jewellers outlet in Chennai. The success of the first venture enables Niranth to expand and open yet another outlet very quickly. Coming on-board the family business in 2005, Lavanya Nalli has worked with the family to professionalize the set-up, ventured into successful product diversification, and conceptualized and explored new retail-formats with the launch of the successful Nalli Next sub-brand. After a 5 year stint in the US, where she graduated from Harvard Business School and worked at McKinsey, she returned to Nalli and is heading the omni-channel platform. We are growing exponentially and are looking out for bright, driven individuals who can grow together with us. Visit www.nalli.com to know more
