The ballerina style is here to stay. An added advantage is that the shoes blend well with Indian as well as Western attire.

We have contributed through Indian culture; so many international collections are Indian-inspired. Why we don't make an international impact? We have talent, but we have not leveraged it, not married commerce to design.

There are some brands that we didn't expect to do well in India, like Alice + Olivia. But they sell like hot cakes because women here seem to love it.

TSG is competing with Middle East, East Asia and Europe in offering prices that are either lower or at par with these markets.

I'm very superstitious, and I think it's bad luck. You don't have to show your love by tattooing it.

Sometimes comfort doesn't matter. When a shoe is freakin' fabulous, it may be worth a subsequent day of misery. Soak in Epsom salts and take comfort in the fact that you're better than everyone else.
