Accenture Techie Builds Mysuru Apparel Startup Earning ₹1 Crore
Supreeth Kashyap had a technology job at Accenture in Bengaluru.
He left in 2018 because he wanted a calmer life in Mysuru.
After working as a freelance consultant, he started Wellbi in 2021.
Wellbi makes comfortable clothes from sustainable and organic materials.
The company now says it earns about ₹1 crore each month.
It employs people in Mysuru and works with artisans who make and sew its products.

Wellbi is now preparing to sell its products in the United States through Amazon.
