The man who dressed India's luxe ambitions

Mehta, who was a consistent mid-distance runner and an avid Himalayan trekker, is known for bringing some of the biggest names in global retail to the Indian market, including Valentino, Balenciaga, Tiffany & Co, Ermenegildo Zegna, Giorgio Armani, Bottega Veneta, Jimmy Choo, Burberry, and Pottery Barn, among others.

Apart from introducing several well-known international brands to the Indian market, the company also invested in many Indian designers, including Abu Jani-Sandeep Khosla (Abu Sandeep), Manish Malhotra, Rahul Mishra, Anamika Khanna, and Abraham & Thakore, among others.
