About

I didn't study fashion to sketch clothes. I studied it to understand why some products fly off shelves while others collect dust and what a smart buyer can do about it. Currently completing my postgraduate in Fashion Management at NIFT, I've spent the last year inside three very different operations: a youth brand (Wrogn), a value retail powerhouse (Max Fashion / Landmark Group), and a manufacturing setup (Advanced Clothing Concepts). Each one taught me something the classroom couldn't. At Max Fashion, I worked on buying - tracking inventory movement, identifying slow-moving SKUs, and supporting category-level decisions to improve sell-through rates across stores. I learned how margin lives and dies in the details of OTB planning and stock allocation. At Wrogn, I got a close look at how a fast-moving fashion brand thinks about its product mix - where trend meets commercial viability, and how buying decisions upstream shape what lands on the floor. At Advanced Clothing Concepts, I worked as a process coordinator and junior sourcing executive -understanding how production timelines, vendor negotiations, and quality checks connect directly to what a buyer can promise. What I bring to a buying or planning team: - Retail performance analysis and sell-through tracking - Category and assortment planning support - Inventory optimization thinking - Data-backed decision support across the OTB cycle I aim to build a career in retail buying, planning and category management, focusing on improving store productivity and driving business performance through data-backed decisions.
