The Delhi-based bootstrapped clothing brand thrives on the motto of Absolute Panache, which is about a confident and stylish way of dressing. One can mix and match clothes from an extensive range of options, which comes from a team of quirky designers and textile experts.
Launched in 2017, an online shopping store, IKI CHIC, aims to capture India’s fashion market with its unique approach, awesome designs, and exciting fashion trends, all in an affordable price range. After clothing, IKI Chic is set to foray into segments such as footwear, jewellery, bags, sunglasses, etc. The idea is to give the customer a one-stop-shop that is equipped to upgrade their wardrobe time and again.
The most formative and toughest time for a start-up, business, etc. are the initial days, as one has to take on a lot of things, right from setting up the start-up, company right down to handling almost everything, and then comes the marketing and sales along with the challenges to keep the start-up, business afloat and running to full capacity without any loss in enthusiasm, resilience, and hard work. With the pandemic in action, the challenges were doubled to the scale if not less, making it a real hurdle to cross the time and managing the company and its functions altogether.
Additti not only stood through the storm but also effervescently handled her role as a flag bearer of IKI CHIC, showing her dedication towards providing unique, stylish, elegant, and compelling apparels and accessories of quality and standards that are not only ahead of the competition but also showcasing the sincerity and dedication of the brand towards the mission it was built and founded on – Absolute Panache. Some of the challenges faced by IKI CHIC were managing remote work during the pandemic as the designs and styles the company offers require a lot of teamwork-induced creativity and brainstorming. Also, employee communication was the major challenge on the priority list as the ultimate company goal is the productivity of its employees.
