About the company
Assembly is an emerging luggage label based in Gurgaon, with a focus on enhancing the travel experience through innovative product design. Founded in 2019, they understand the intricacies involved in luggage construction, where various components come together on the assembly line to create a functional piece. They believe that every part, be it the trolley, wheels, or zipper, plays a crucial role, and without any one of them, the luggage is incomplete. Recognizing the significance of the assembly department in bringing these components together, they chose the name ‘Assembly’ for their label. Their guiding principle emphasizes a meticulous attention to detail and an in-depth understanding of luggage design and construction.

The price of their cabin baggage is set at 6000. Their future target is to achieve annual revenue of 80 crores within the next 18-24 months. Projected sales for FY 23-24 are expected to range between 25-30 crores, with sales until October 2023 reaching 11.5 crores.
