About Us
The Souled Store is a homegrown youth casual-wear brand that started in 2013. We are one of
India’s largest online merchandising platforms with licenses like Disney, Warner Bros; WWE, IPL,
and Viacom18 to name a few. Apart from selling products with themed designs such as
superheroes, movies, TV shows, and cartoons, the brand also is at the forefront of the latest youth
style and fashion trends. In addition to core men's and women wear apparel categories, we have
also expanded to new categories and introduced new product lines like activewear, supima
products, innerwear, personal care products like perfumes etc. We have also launched footwear
and kidswear recently.
Although we are primarily an online brand, we’ve expanded in the offline retail space as well and
have stores in Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi, Pune and Indore.
We're now a 'Great Place to Work' certified organization which boasts of our fantastic employee
culture and policies.
The Souled Store was born out of the idea of loving what you do, from the soul. We believe that
people do their best work when they love what they do. There are too many Monday mornings and
you can’t go dreading every single one of them. Over the years, we have built a strong team of
like-minded people that work smart, own their work, and think like leaders. If you identify with
what we do and are interested in being a part of an aggressively growing brand, we would love to
have you on board!
