About Us :

The Souled Store is a homegrown youth casual-wear brand started in 2013. We are one of India’s largest online merchandising platforms with licenses like Disney, Warner Bros;

In addition to core men 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 offline stores in Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi, Pune and Indore.

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.
