A renowned fashion designer, Vishal has been in the industry for the last seven years. He has launched several exclusive clothing stores that are known for their heritage clothing and cultural outfits, thereby promoting the rich Indian culture.

Vishal Rathore is the founder of Paridhan Vishal Rathore Designs.

Vishal hails from Udaipur. He took his fashion design course at Pearl Academy and soon after started his entrepreneurial journey.

Recalling his childhood, Vishal says that his father owned a handicraft store, and seeing him, he always aspired to become an entrepreneur. He was highly influenced by his grandfather’s wardrobe, which motivated him to pursue this line of work. Many people were worried about him becoming a fashion designer, but his father supported him throughout his journey.

Sharing about his professional journey, Vishal says that after completing his education in 2014, he founded Paridhan Vishal Rathore Designs in 2016. He explains that ‘Paridhan’ means pari," "personality," and "clothes," which would mean a place where one can get a perfect dressing style for themselves according to their personality.

The first store that he opened was in Jodhpur, with the help of his father. Within a year, he opened another store in the same city. Soon, his brand gained recognition and acquired several loyal customers. His brand is known for maintaining the traditional legacy and offering quality products made by various artisans.

Vishal opened his third store in Pushkar, his fourth in Udaipur, and his fifth in Jaipur. His boutique store offers a huge range of men’s and women’s wear. The store specializes in heritage clothing and typical cultural outfits. Every year, he launches three exclusive collections across all physical and digital platforms. In the upcoming years, he aims to open stores abroad in order to take their brand to a global level.

Sharing about his accomplishments, Vishal says that he has collaborated with multiple renowned personalities, including Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar, Anil Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Govinda, and several other TV actors. Not only that, but he also collaborated with the Jodhpur Polo Association, and his store is the official supplier for them. He also participated in the IHH exhibition in 2019. Vishal was also the winner at Amazon Fashion Week in 2017.

Vishal shares that he is also involved in social work and feels that it is essential to do something for society too. The highlight of his store is that it offers 20% off on old and used clothes, which he donates to the needy.

Vishal believes education develops one’s personality, but only through experience can one maintain that personality.

To all the budding entrepreneurs, Vishal advises them not to give up and to follow their dreams. A person must have patience and a positive outlook to succeed, he says.

In his free time, Vishal likes to go horse riding and play polo. He is also passionate about traveling and indulging in creative assignments.
