BlissClub, the first women&#8217;s sportswear brand for the community, was founded in March 2020 as a result of her research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Journey<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BlissClub began with an online community, several fun events, and challenges that will last until 2020. It now sells a wide range of women&#8217;s athletic gear, beginning with leggings. With WhatsApp groups and Instagram profiles, the community is active and has natural conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Market size<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sportswear market accounted for more than 20% of all garment sales. Sportswear, on the other hand, has a market share of less than 3% in India. BlissClub received $2.25 million in early funding from Elevation Capital in May 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>USP in the Market<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bliss Club promises to be profitable and has amassed a following of over 15,000 women on Instagram and WhatsApp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How the Company is Redefining the Market?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bliss Club has recognised a big product gap in the market because of the differences in body types, climatic circumstances, and individual sensitivities and preferences in India vs the West. The BlissClub team&#8217;s current goal is to invest in product development while continuing to promote the brand and community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the last decade, India&#8217;s sportswear sector has expanded gradually in terms of revenue.
