Indian fashion today is no longer just about trends and seasons. It is about identity, emotion, and experience. The industry is shifting from mass production to meaningful creation, where clients seek clothing that reflects who they are and what they celebrate. From intimate weddings to vibrant carnivals, fashion is becoming more personal, expressive, and story-driven.
Within this evolving landscape stands Label NNIKITA BAJORIA—a Kolkata-based designer label rooted in originality, color, and customization. Launched in 2018 by founder Nikita Bajoria, the brand has carved a niche through thematic design, handcrafted prints, and a deeply personal approach to dressing people for their most memorable moments.
From Vision to Brand: The Story of Nikita Bajoria.
Nikita Bajoria knew early on that fashion was her calling. By Class 9, she had already begun preparing for NIFT, inspired by a family of strong, stylish, and enterprising women. Her natural inclination toward colors, styling, and self-expression shaped her creative direction long before she formally entered the industry.
At NIFT, her talent was recognized when she won an award for the most creative and innovative use of material in her design collection, graduating with a perfect score. That achievement gave her the confidence to launch her own label. In 2018, she introduced Label N, starting as a resort-wear brand designed for Indian body types and gradually evolving into something far more distinctive and personal.
A Printastic Identity Built on Themes and Customization.
Label NNIKITA BAJORIA is not driven by seasons—it is driven by themes and occasions. From carnivals and Mehendi functions to Haldi ceremonies, baby showers, and anniversaries, the brand designs outfits around moments, not weather. Nikita describes herself as a “printastic designer” because every print is created in-house. Nothing is outsourced. Every graphic, motif, and color story emerges from her own creative process.
The label primarily focuses on womenswear, while also offering menswear and kidswear as customizable verticals. One of its most loved offerings is family twinning. Brides, grooms, parents, siblings, and even children can wear coordinated outfits designed around a single theme. Each garment is also thoughtfully designed for reusability. Skirts, blouses, and dupattas are created to be styled separately and worn again in different ways—making fashion both emotional and practical.
Building a Niche in a Crowded Market.
Starting out was not easy. Nikita faced three major challenges. The first was funding and learning to trust her instincts. Investing in a brand without guaranteed returns requires courage. The second was standing out in an oversaturated market. Anyone can make clothes, but creating a designer identity that people remember takes clarity, consistency, and time.
The third challenge was building a loyal and motivated team of artisans and workers. In an industry driven by trust rather than formal contracts, retaining skilled people depends on respect, security, and emotional connection—not just financial compensation. Over time, Label NNIKITA BAJORIA has built a work culture rooted in mutual trust, and today Nikita proudly considers her team one of her greatest strengths.
Growth, Reach, and the Road Ahead.
Initially, the brand grew through offline stores and exhibitions across India. Exhibitions played a crucial role in visibility and financial stability. After the pandemic, the focus shifted strongly to online platforms, where accessibility, value for money, and transparent pricing became key priorities. Label NNIKITA BAJORIA now ships pan-India with free delivery and offers worldwide shipping at applicable charges.
Looking ahead, Nikita envisions Label NNIKITA BAJORIA on national and global runways. After presenting a fully sponsored show in Kolkata, her next goal is Lakmé Fashion Week, followed by international platforms such as Paris Fashion Week. She plans to expand into bridal wear and launch a casual-wear vertical exclusively for online customers. Her long-term vision is clear: to build a globally recognized Indian designer label known for distinctive prints, creative themes, and deeply personal fashion stories.
