From bustling routines of work or studies, people found themselves confined within the walls of their homes, gripped by fear. Yet, amidst the gloom, individuals unearthed a profound truth: even amidst chaos, there exists a silver lining. Mindfulness and gratitude emerged as guiding lights, leading many to rediscover themselves in the simplicity of everyday moments. Aastey, born from this ethos, epitomizes the values of self-love, acceptance, and the art of being present in every facet of life. The upheaval of the pandemic extended beyond personal realms, shaking the very foundations of the fashion industry. Gone are the days of impulsive shopping and prioritizing style over comfort. The paradigm shift towards comfort-centric attire birthed the phenomenon of athleisure fashion\u2014a fusion of athletic functionality and leisurely comfort, redefining contemporary wardrobes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, within this evolution lies a glaring issue of size inclusivity. Historically, performance wear has catered to a narrow spectrum of body types, perpetuating harmful stereotypes and alienating many. Aastey stands at the forefront of change, aiming to dismantle these norms and foster a community where individuals embrace their bodies with confidence, finding joy in life&#8217;s simplest pleasures. Aastey, affectionately known as the brainchild of founders Jeevika Tyagi and Kanupriya Mundhra, emerged amidst the chaos of lockdown in 2020. These two ordinary individuals, weathered by the storm of daily life and surrounded by the pervasive grief of a pandemic, recognized the gradual erosion of their happiness. Determined to reclaim their joy, they coined the mantra of &#8220;live Aastey,&#8221; embarking on a journey to rediscover the beauty of life&#8217;s small moments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Revenue<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aastey has achieved lifetime sales totalling 3.2 crores. From September 2023 to November 2023, their sales amounted to 15 lakhs. Their monthly marketing expenditure stands at 30 lakhs. In November 2023, Aastey recorded sales of 1.7 lakhs.
