Profile
Yuktie founded Kosha because she wanted her family business in clothing to transition to a global brand. With the frequency of travel increasing, there were many gaps identified in travel clothing; eg: a temperature-regulating base layer, woollen socks that keep you warm without changing the shoe size and more. After 2 years and product testing in extreme conditions, Kosha’s clothing has been worn by the Indian Air Force on their summit to Mr Vinson in Antarctica. Travellers have given fantastic reviews from their travels to Sweden, Canada, France, UK, Croatia to name a few. Kosha has 2 stores in Bombay. The collection is also available on Kosha.co, Amazon, Myntra. Yuktie is a certified mountaineer from the Himalayan Institute of Mountaineering. Climbing has taught her many business lessons, one of them is to never give up. It is her dream that Kosha has the largest clothing share in a travellers’ wardrobe, to clothe the Indian Winter Olympic Team and maintain the personalised customer service. She wants to start a business in Ice cream sometime. On her bucket list is a road trip along with the countries that are part of the Silk Route. She blogs at yuktiesays.co. Yuktie has been instrumental in setting up the digital road map for Kosha. She consults on aspects of Content Marketing, SEO, Performance Marketing, building a blog, keeping ROI in focus.
