Knya bolsters Gujarat footprint with store launch in Vadodara
Medical apparel brand Knya has expanded its brick-and-mortar footprint in Gujarat with the launch of a new store in Vadodara. Located beside Sir Sayajirao General Hospital, the outlet marks the label's second store in the state after Ahmedabad and its eighth nationwide.
'After receiving an overwhelming response from our Ahmedabad store, expanding to Vadodara was a natural next step,' said Knya's co-founder Abhijeet Kaji in a press release. 'This region has shown strong demand for quality medical wear, and we're excited to bring the full Knya experience closer to the vibrant and growing healthcare community here.'
The new store is designed with Knya's trademark minimal and performance-focused aesthetic, intended to cater to professionals working in high-pressure medical environments. The launch is part of Knya's ongoing strategy to open one store every month across Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities throughout 2025, with the aim of making premium medical apparel and tools more accessible to healthcare workers across India.
Positioned as one of the city's first dedicated stores for medical apparel, the Vadodara launch reflects Knya's continued investment in Western India's healthcare retail market. The store features Knya's full product range, including its signature scrubs, lab coats, functional aprons, accessories, and the recently introduced '6Sense Stethoscope,' developed in collaboration with Indian doctors.

Swedish hair care label Sachajuan has entered the Indian market with Kutub Ariwala, founder of BeautIndia. The brand aims to bring its minimalist, performance-driven products to a growing base of ingredient-aware consumers. 'I was tired of seeing clients overwhelmed by shelves of products, unsure of what actually worked,' said brand founder and hairstylist Sacha Mitic, Indian Retailer Bureau reported. 'Everything felt overly engineered. I wanted to go the other way- to create something intuitive, elegant, and honest.' Sachajuan's range includes leave-in treatments like In The Sun, After The Sun, Hair Repair, and Dark Volume Powder, the latter formulated specifically for dark hair tones. At the core of its products is 'Ocean Silk Technology,' combining marine algae to strengthen hair without weighing it down, according to its Facebook page. 'India's beauty and personal care industry is experiencing tremendous growth," said BeautIndia's founder Kutub Ariwala. "Today's consumer doesn't just read the label, they research every ingredient. They don't fall for fluff.' With an emphasis on scalp health, simplicity, and function, Sachajuan aims to engage shoppers in India's increasingly sophisticated premium haircare segment. 'There's such deep hair culture here,' said Mitic. 'What surprised me most was how people balance modern routines with traditional values.'
