The brand, known for its fast-fashion appeal, is poised to embark on a transformative journey, evolving into a more impactful and influential force in the industry. This development represents a pivotal moment in Virgio's evolution, where it continues to embrace fashion-forward ideals while offering an elevated customer experience and reinforcing its commitment to circularity and innovation. As one of the fastest-growing fashion startups in India, Virgio experienced exceptional growth, amassing over a lakh of customers within its first year of inception.

Under the leadership of Amar Nagaram, former CEO of Myntra, Virgio has consistently embodied contemporary fashion trends while preserving its distinct identity.

His vision to establish circular fashion as a way of life demonstrates a pro-planet approach poised to usher in a new era in the Indian fashion industry.
Virgio's dedicated design team has diligently crafted new collections that embody sophistication and modernity, utilizing natural fabrics to ensure durability, community well-being, and recyclability. This initiative marks Virgio's steadfast journey towards sustainable and responsible fashion practices in India. Amar Nagaram, the Co-Founder, stated, “While fast fashion is agile, trendy, and caters to the growing needs of the young blood in India, it also promotes overproduction and overconsumption. Fast fashion companies use harmful fabrics and exploit labour to cut corners on pricing and quality fuelling the market with what will be sent to landfills. It’s a global crisis and we all are witnessing it. That’s why we’ve made a conscious choice to move our entire efforts to build a circular fashion brand".
