Vaanika Malik started her journey in 2007 after graduation and a year after marriage, starting with designing kurtis and travelling far and wide to find the perfect fabric and create captivating designs. Despite financial constraints, she never lost faith, moving forward with determination and an unbreakable spirit.
Vaanika began to build her business, participating in local exhibitions and selling her kurtis and tunics. With the blessings of her in-laws, she was able to set up a small room at home and invest in a single machine, employing a master tailor, a lady helper, and four skilled karigars who did hand embroidery. With their support, she began to create unstitched suits with exquisite embroidery, selling them to her father’s retail store and another store in South Austin. And she went door-to-door demonstrating his designs to prospective buyers. As her business grew, she needed more space and, with the approval of her in-laws, expanded into the basement of their home, investing in more machines and hiring additional staff.
In 2011, she began producing ready-made garments like lehengas and suits, which quickly gained popularity. Soon, Vaanika found buyers and began supplying their products to a store in the UK, achieving her first major milestone. With her eyes set on even greater goals, she registered her firm and reached out to retailers across India, eventually meeting a well-known industry expert who introduced him to well-known retail stores in Punjab. This marked her second major milestone.
Her journey has been one of hard work, determination, and sacrifice and has culminated in the creation of her next book, which she holds dear to her heart. “The Art of Buying: How Indian Ethnic Wear Retailers Can Purchase Smarter and Avoid Dead Stock” is the result of her sixteen years of experience as a fashion designer, manufacturer, and wholesaler in the Indian ethnic wear industry. Through this book, he shares his knowledge and experience with other retailers, offering practical advice, real-world examples, and worksheets to help them develop their own buying strategies.
