Bhiwani (Haryana) [India]: At just 17 years old, Subodh Kaushik, an Indian citizen, has already achieved what many entrepreneurs can only dream of–he is the founder and CEO of Shopeepie, a multi-million dollar fashion startup that is making waves not just in India, but globally. Subodh’s journey is a testament to the power of determination, vision, and the relentless pursuit of independence.

From Affiliate Marketer to Independent Entrepreneur

In 2021, Subodh was engaged in affiliate marketing and content writing, a field where he found initial success. However, despite his efforts, he became frustrated with being constantly recognized as an “Amazon-attached businessman.” This label didn’t sit well with him, and it soon became a source of irritation. Subodh knew he was capable of much more, and the idea of being tethered to another company’s brand did not align with his aspirations.

Determined to carve out his own identity, Subodh decided to create a 100% independent business. The name was crucial–it needed to be unique, memorable, and reflective of his vision. During this time, a famous YouTuber by the name of PewDiePie was gaining popularity, although Subodh himself wasn’t an avid follower. However, the name stuck with him, and it sparked an idea. He took inspiration from it and secured the name “shopeepie,” a name that would soon become synonymous with quality, fashion, and purpose.

Shopeepie: Where Fashion Meets Purpose

Shopeepie is not just another fashion brand; it’s a movement dedicated to driving positive change in India and beyond. The company specializes in selling branded, high-quality clothes and footwear for both men and women, sourcing products from reputable manufacturers outside India. But what sets shopeepie apart from other brands is its unwavering commitment to its mission and vision.

At the core of shopeepie’s mission is the desire to give maximum employment in India and to promote the “Make In India” concept. Subodh believes in the power of entrepreneurship, innovation, and collaboration to create a lasting impact. By sourcing materials locally, partnering with skilled artisans, and investing in sustainable practices, shopeepie aims to support livelihoods, preserve traditional craftsmanship, and promote economic growth in India.

Empowering Communities Through Fashion

Subodh’s vision for shopeepie goes beyond just selling products; it’s about creating opportunities and empowering communities. He envisions a world where every individual has the opportunity to thrive, where craftsmanship is celebrated, and where sustainability is the standard. This vision drives shopeepie’s commitment to ethical production, economic empowerment, and social responsibility.

Through its partnerships with local artisans and manufacturers, shopeepie is creating a ripple effect of positive change that extends far beyond its products. The brand is dedicated to providing meaningful employment opportunities, uplifting individuals and families, and fostering long-term prosperity. By choosing shopeepie, customers are not just buying fashion; they’re investing in a movement that prioritizes people and the planet.

Promoting Sustainability for a Better Future

In an age where environmental concerns are at the forefront, shopeepie is committed to promoting sustainability in every aspect of its business. From using eco-friendly materials to adhering to ethical production practices, the company strives to minimize its environmental footprint and contribute to a healthier planet for future generations.

Subodh believes that fashion should not come at the cost of the environment. By implementing sustainable practices, shopeepie is setting an example for other businesses in the industry. The brand’s dedication to sustainability resonates with conscious consumers who are looking to make a positive impact through their purchasing choices.

Join the Movement: shopeepie’s Call to Action

Shopeepie is more than just a brand–it’s a call to action. Subodh invites everyone to join the movement and be a part of something bigger. Whether it’s shopping the collection, spreading the word about the cause, or simply embracing conscious consumerism, every action counts.

Subodh’s journey from a young affiliate marketer to the CEO of a multi-million dollar company is nothing short of inspirational. His story is a reminder that age is just a number and that with the right mindset and determination, anything is possible. Shopeepie is not just a testament to Subodh’s entrepreneurial spirit, but also a beacon of hope for those who believe in the power of positive change.

As shopeepie continues to grow and expand its reach, it remains grounded in its mission to empower communities, promote sustainability, and create a better world for all. And with Subodh Kaushik at the helm, the future looks incredibly bright.

Nikita was already a successful designer when she decided to launch her own fashion brand. Though Nikita had established herself successfully in the Indian fashion industry, she wanted to create a brand that would reflect her sensibilities and sense of aesthetics. This urge to do something of her own led to the birth of Doree in the year 2018.

Promoted as a ‘women’s designer store and fashion store’, Doree has come a long way in just a few years and managed to make its presence felt in a highly competitive industry. Apart from being its owner and founder, Nikita serves as the Director of Merchandising, Creative Content & Operations. With her hard work and the efforts of her dedicated team, she has managed to build a brand from scratch.

Talking about the idea behind Doree, Nikita says, “I wanted to create a brand that would make Indian ethnic wear accessible not just for Indian women but women based in different parts of the world who are fascinated by it. With my experience in the design sector and a keen interest in entrepreneurship, I decided to launch Doree. The demand for Indian ethnic wear is growing at a rapid pace and that has given a lot of confidence to designers and entrepreneurs like me who wish to popularize it further.”

As a brand, Doree offers its customers a wide range of ethnic wear, including saree, suits, dresses, lehengas, Indian gowns, imported gowns, and dresses. It has been recognized as a startup company by the Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises or MSME (Government of India). Nikita and her team have taken several measures to ensure the brand has a good presence in both India and foreign shores. It has been listed on the popular Canada-based multinational e-commerce platform Shopify.

“With Doree, my goal has been to build an Indian ethnic wear brand that resonates with customers all across the world. Our primary objective has been to offer our customers high-quality products. Our list of product categories and product offerings is expanding with each passing day. We worked very hard on building a website that is not just accessible but also convenient to navigate through. We have designed it keeping the preferences of our customers in mind. The website enables our customers to securely manage their accounts without intervention”, says the young entrepreneur.

Apart from having a well-established online store, Doree also has a physical retail store. Doree has multiple warehouses based in India and the United States.
