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.
Kashyap says he made mistakes, including spending too much on photography and hiring too many people.
Wellbi is now preparing to sell its products in the United States through Amazon.
Supreeth Kashyap left Accenture in Bengaluru in 2018, seeking greater peace of mind in his hometown, Mysuru.
He launched Wellbi in 2021, producing essential and athletic wear using sustainable, organic fabrics.
Wellbi now reports about ₹1 crore in monthly revenue, employs more than 15 staff and works with 40 artisans.
The company began with roughly ₹10 lakh, later received about ₹3 crore from angel investors, and targets ₹15–16 crore in annual turnover.
Wellbi plans to launch on Amazon in the United States while focusing on comfort and breathability rather than fast-fashion trends.
