The Chetan Verma Success Visions

1. Sustainability as the Core of Innovation

Creating businesses that respect nature by using plant-based, biodegradable, and recycled materials. Every venture is a step toward reducing waste, protecting ecosystems, and leaving behind a cleaner planet.

2. Empowering Artisans & Communities

Reviving handwork and Indian craftsmanship while generating dignified livelihood opportunities, especially for women artisans. The vision is to build global platforms that celebrate local skills.

3. Global Brands with Indian Roots

Building world-class fashion, footwear, accessories, and lifestyle brands that carry India’s heritage while competing with the best internationally. From handcrafted sarees to heritage timepieces and sustainable sneakers, each product tells a story of culture and responsibility.

4. Planting Trees, Growing Futures

Every product sold contributes to reforestation. By planting trees in the name of customers, we turn consumption into contribution transforming shopping into a climate-positive act.

5. Affordable Luxury, Accessible to All

Luxury doesn’t have to exploit nature or people. Success lies in creating premium-quality, durable, and beautiful products that are still accessible and fair to customers.

6. Building Movements, Not Just Businesses

Each initiative is more than a company it’s a mission. From Indian Fashion Follower to Kapas Paduka and Ashta Chakra Coffee Roasters, Fashion DORI, Owl Interiors and godfathR, the goal is to unite people under a shared belief: fashion, lifestyle, and innovation can uplift communities and heal the Earth.

7. Vision for 2030 and Beyond

By 2030, the aim is to build multiple sustainable ventures that:

Reach global markets

Achieve meaningful social impact (empowering thousands of artisans, planting millions of trees)

Generate sustainable economic growth (multi-crore brands with international recognition)

Inspire future entrepreneurs to choose the path of responsibility over trends
