It was the year when Asopalav business tree was formally planted in Gujarat’s blooming, blossoming walled city of Ahmedabad. It made great sense to start the journey with a store that was right at the bustling heart of the city’s oldest textiles’ trade centre – Ratanpole.
The flagship store still remains a favoritre among the brand’s most loyal and oldest clientele. The trusted store, known for its traditional Indian wear and rich fabrics, works with a dedicated staff of over 150 employees.
By mid-eighties, the business landscape was experiencing a major overhaul in Gujarat. There were more buyers with different needs; the trends were changing, given the rising influence of the world culture, television and cinema. It was time to make our presence felt in city another bustling, rising hub – Ashram Road area. Rightfully the heart of Ahmedabad at that time, it was a prime location, with umpteen government offices, big organizations and stores.
The imposing Ashram Road Store – huge and statuesque – still makes for one of our most elegant presences – and is well known for its rich, traditional collection, lively vibe and the loving staff of 200 employees.
After capturing the hearts and minds, and winning the trust of apparels-loving Ahmedabad population, it was time to expand our frontiers beyond the city. Surat – the hub of textiles manufacturing and crafts – seemed the most obvious choice, as it made for a perfect opportunity for us to procure the best of the raw materials – right from where they are produced.
Surat’s proximity to the fashion capital of Mumbai also made for a strong business case, and hence the Surat Asopalav store was started with a grand flourish. Located in one of the most prominent trade areas of the busy city – Parle Point – this store is grand, and runs seamlessly with a dedicated staff of 150 members.
The early years of the 21st century saw a huge surge in rest of India’s interest and attention towards the state of Gujarat and primarily the city of Ahmedabad – thanks to the financial flourish and the state’s artful governance. The population escalated, and the city experienced one of its most notable expansion journeys.
Unaffected by natural calamities, Ahmedabad grew to amazing heights, and so did we, as we had our grandest outing with centrally located Satellite Asopalav Mall.
The amazing store had a much effusive range, and a sweeping collection of not just our trusted regulars, but also new entrants like accessories, Western wear, imitation jewelry etc.
The designer collections, bespoke bridal and wedding wear range and amazing fitting studios added to the grandeur and offerings. Our biggest store, Asopalav Satellite works seamlessly with efficient staff strength of 350…and counting.
After experiencing endless warmth and admiration from Ahmedabad, we decided it was time to extend the love back by opening a store in the growing area of Vadaj in Ahmedabad. As growing part of Ahmedabad, Vadaj had potential to be an influential area with with umpteen offices, malls and stores.
Giving a grand flourish, the store has an upsurging ranges of designer bridal and wedding wear collection along with accessories, western wear and imitation jewellery enhancing the grandeur of Vadaj branch. Asopalav Vadaj- rich-filled with traditional collection, lively vibe and the loving staff runs seamlessly and efficiently- continuing the legacy of Asopalav.
