Founded in 2023, Maison Qala is the brainchild of co-founder Aakriti. It’s a story that began with the study of fashion merchandising at Pearl Academy in Delhi and a Bachelor’s Degree earned in the UK, experiences that were quickly followed by a three-year career at GAP and M&S. But these first steps into the world of clothing sales were only the tip of the iceberg; Aakriti wasn’t done moving and learning.
In 2012, she left for France to pursue an MBA in luxury brand management, before relocating to the U.S. to take on a position at Bloomingdale’s. Then, 20 years after her fashion journey first began, Aakriti decided to make another change. Driven by a vision of a brand of her own, and bolstered by her wealth of experiences, she took a leap—and Maison Qala was born.
