Founder & CEO - Upcycleluxe Pvt. Ltd.

Her Story

Harshita Chandra, an Engineer, a fashion sustainability advocate tuned and Entrepreneur has worked in the fashion industry for almost a decade. She found out problems like waste generation, lack of fair trade & transparency in the supply chain that the fashion industries are not mindful of. She started collecting factory waste to manufacture bags and accessories part-time and developed capsule collections for few labels to check consumer buying behavior. While constantly working on the sustainable revolution she figured out that the gaps in the industry can’t be heard alone.

So she came up with the idea of bringing together all sustainable & ethical brands on a single platform and named as "Upcycleluxe". Her technological skills came into use when she integrated science-based solutions to calculate the impact of the product and the purchasing impact that will help eliminate greenwashing. Her vision became stronger when she got selected for UN Women industry disruptor, WeEmpowerAsia program that cemented her dream and vision.
