In Ahmedabad, Gujarat, where dreams often begin with a modest step, Mrs. Hemamalini Kumaran took the first in establishing Shivane's Boutique in 2007. Initially a small brand born out of her love for silk sarees, Shivane's has now become a beacon of craftsmanship and ethnic fashion's true representative.
Breaking societal norms in South India, Mrs. Hemamalini faced a significant challenge. Both the competitive saree market of Tirunelveli and a woman's entrepreneurship presented hurdles. However, her unwavering commitment to fabric selection, local artisan collaboration, and unique designs carved a niche for Shivane's, attracting over 500 customers monthly.
Mrs. Hemamalini's foresight led to the launch of a robust e-commerce platform, a crucial move that predated the pandemic-driven digital shift. This initiative, paired with a solid social media strategy, doubled the average order value and expanded a loyal, international customer base.
With a remarkable revenue of ₹15 crores over the last five years, Shivane's Boutique plans further expansion. Mrs. Hemamalini envisions a future with more stores nationwide and entry into material manufacturing, positioning Shivane's as a leading fashion industry force. Her story is a testament to the power of passion and persistence.
