Meet man, who was former national advisor to Textiles Ministry, now runs..

Designer Manish Tripathi, who graduated from the National Institute of Fashion Technology in Delhi, is blazing new trails with his impressive accomplishments. Because of his broad expertise and a keen eye for fashion textiles, he got the position of advisor in the Ministry of Textiles.

He founded the labels AntarDESI and Naveli, which have established themselves as the go-to places for bespoke and made-to-measure services.

He is from Lucknow. He was high on Bollywood and passionate about designs since childhood. He had an immense support from his family and friends. He thinks he wouldn't reach the place where he is standing now without their support.

Tripathi has created clothing for well-known figures in the movie business, athletes, politicians, bureaucrats, diplomats, and events like Cannes. He has been collaborating with the weavers community to bring back the production of hand-woven fabrics out of a deep commitment to the social upliftment of India's handloom and handicraft industries.

His works are function-oriented. People come to him for solutions. His designs and creations are not imposed on the clients. He genuinely tries to understand the client's requirements after meeting with them. He looks at what occasion the client wants their ensemble for, budget, choice etc. Then, by assessing their personality, he advises and provides services. He also designs office wear, which pulls off simplicity with class. He enjoys solving his client's issues.
