Kiaasa Retail SME IPO GMP Today, Subscription Status, Allotment Link & Full Details

Journey, Expansion and Key Milestones

Company started its journey in April 2018 with a vision of building a stylish ethnic wear brand for women. Company opened its first store in Kamla Nagar, Delhi in June 2018. Company came under the leadership of Mr. Om Prakash and Mr. Amit Chauhan, which helped speed up growth and improve operational efficiency in multiple regions.

It opened its 50th store in Vadodara by September 2021. It increased its presence in South India by acquiring of the ‘U-Women’ brand in December 2021. Further growth continued by acquiring of ‘LAABHA’ in February 2022 & opening of its 100th store in Faridabad in March 2022.

Strong Retail Network and Store Strategy

Exclusive Brand Outlets (EBOs) are the main part of company’s retail business and sales performance. Company expanded from a single store in 2018 to more than 120 outlets in 70 Indian cities as of September 30, 2025. These stores, usually sized between 500 to 1,500 sq. ft., are designed to provide a uniform, premium shopping experience with personalized customer service.

Company operates its stores using a combination of three different models:

This approach allows the company to use capital efficiently, manage operations smoothly and expand faster while keeping same brand experience everywhere.

Omni-Channel Presence and Digital Integration

Company adopted an omni-channel approach in October 2022 by connecting physical stores with online platforms. It has created an online presence through its own website and by selling on major e-commerce platforms like Flipkart, Amazon, Limeroad, and Myntra. Pilot testing of online store models in cities like Noida and Faridabad helped it in improving customer experience & its online platform.

Value Retail Format and Inventory Optimization

Besides its main brand, company runs “Nine99 Store”, where all products are priced below ₹999. This factory outlet-style concept helps the company sell surplus products, move inventory faster & reach customers looking for lower prices. It also helps the company expand into Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, while improving inventory management and strengthens the overall retail system.

However, the industry is currently seeing lower demand because consumer are spending more on electronics and vehicles. Manufacturers are facing problems like under-utilization and increasing operational expenses, including a 40% increase in freight expenses due to global supply chain disruptions. To overcome these challenges, government has launched programs like Production Linked Incentive (PLI) & PM Mitra schemes to lower import dependence and bring in new investment. The women’s clothing market is still expected to grow despite of these short-term challenges. It is expected to grow at CAGR of 5.8% until 2030, supported by urban growth & increasing women’s participation in the economy.
