Having spent nine years in the fashion designing field, Disha has found success with her own four-year-old label. Her brand has survived the pandemic and her business is slowly coming back on track.

Disha Muchhala is a Mumbai-based Fashion Designer and Owner of her clothing brand - Disha Muchhala. She worked with the celebrity designer, Mr Vikram Phadnis, before launching her brand. She believes in exploring and living life to the fullest.

Disha was born and brought up in Mumbai. She did her entire schooling in Mumbai and completed her fashion design course from B.D. Somani Institute of Art & Fashion Technology. After graduation, she grabbed the chance to work with the celebrity fashion designer, Vikram Phadnis, with whom she worked for four years. Subsequently, after gaining enough experience, she launched her clothing brand with her name - Disha Muchhala. She has been in the market successfully for the last four years with her brand. Hence, Disha has a total of nine years of wholesome experience in the fashion industry.

Fashion was always what intrigued Disha from a young age. She loved dressing up whenever she had to go out with friends or on any occasion. She was also good at sketching. Thus, she decided to utilise her passion and creative talents in her professional journey. She followed her gut feeling and took up fashion. Disha started her brand with limited funding as taking lots of debt is not her way of doing business. She utilised her savings to start her venture. Disha aimed to survive for a year without thinking much about profits or goodwill. She believed that if her brand survived the first year, that in itself will be a success.

Struggles in her journey have been the market research and the competition from other brands. She believes that she is a struggling designer and has a long way before achieving heights.

Disha’s role model is her father, who has worked hard and established himself from scratch. Moreover, her husband is her support in her entrepreneurial endeavours along with her mentor, Mr Phadnis.

Disha advises newbie designers to keep patience, learn the art from a reputed institution, and devote lots of time to polish their skills and gain work experience. She advises them to gain valuable market experience before launching their own brand. She counts on practical knowledge for success. Furthermore, her path hasn’t been too rough in the covid pandemic. Her brand survived it and she feels grateful for it.

Disha likes to spend time with her daughter during her free time. She liked the period of lockdown as it gave her lots of quality time with her family. She believes in the saying “never say never” to succeed in life. Exploring and enjoying the beautiful life is her motto. Accepting what life offers and embracing the changes is what she believes in. Client satisfaction, the earned goodwill, and the pandemic survival are her achievements, she happily shares.

Disha feels that life is a roller coaster ride, and one should enjoy it with a positive outlook.
