Always there is been the question over the standardization of the clothing sizes in India. As in most cases these sizes fail to fit in the physique of every consumer who could require the middle size between small and medium that is between shoulder size of 38 inch and 40 inch. Thus, frustrated over the absence of the right size clothes and lack of options for custom tailoring in the market, Bloomington's Kelley School of Business returned Harssh Chheda decided to launch the Bespoke Tailoring Services to offer perfect fit, prompt service and precise tailoring to the needy consumers under the company name Corporate Collars. Therefore, describing his entrepreneurial journey Harssh Chheda, Founder, Corporate Collars spoke to Entrepreneur Media.

What inspired you to launch Corporate Collars?

After graduating from Indiana University Bloomington's Kelley School of Business, when I returned to India, I found it exceptionally difficult to find my size in clothes. A small was too tight and a medium was too loose. Frustrated, I looked at an alternative and was shocked to find such a lack of options for custom tailoring. I thought to myself that there will be others like me that would be facing the same problem and that led to the inception of Corporate Collars. We are a 100 percent debt-free company and have raised no funds.
