Originally launched in 2019 as part of the global lingerie brand Parfait (USA), the company entered India through the FDI route and quickly became a pioneer in plus-size lingerie. Over seven years of operations, Parfait built a loyal consumer base and a strong reputation for delivering stylish, size-inclusive lingerie—filling a critical gap in India’s fashion industry.
The Journey So Far
From 2019 to July 2025, Parfait operated through shop-in-shop formats, leading e-commerce platforms, and its own D2C website. Key milestones include:
- Customers Served: 3,00,000+
- Orders Delivered: 2,00,000+
- Repeat Customers: 68,000
- India’s First Plus-Size Fashion Show by Parfait – viewed by over 1 million people.
- First Plus-Size TV Show in partnership with Good Times.
The Transition to Parfait Pluss
From August 2025, the brand transitions into Parfait Pluss—a 100% Indian-owned company under the leadership of Akhil Kumar Srivastava, alumnus of NIFT Delhi with over 20 years of retail fashion experience at Walmart and Landmark Group.
As the Managing Director and shareholder since 2019, Akhil has spearheaded Parfait’s India journey. With Parfait Pluss, he now envisions creating the world’s first global e-commerce marketplace dedicated entirely to plus-size consumers, starting with India and the USA.
The core team driving this vision includes Vartika Srivastava, Meghna Mohita, Gorav Nayyar, Saloni Ostwal, Nitu Mittal and Yuvan Srivastav
Market Opportunity
India has over 300 million plus-size individuals (35% of adults), yet fewer than 10% of brands offer sizing beyond XL. The Indian plus-size fashion market alone is projected to exceed USD $1.3 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 8%.
Beyond fashion, this community remains underserved in personal care, wellness, accessories, and lifestyle services. With rising digital adoption, body-positivity movements, and demand from Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, the timing is perfect for a specialized, inclusive platform like Parfait Pluss.
Vision & Mission
Vision (2025–2030):
To build India’s first and largest plus-size lifestyle marketplace, and expand globally, empowering plus-size individuals in all areas of life.
Mission:
To serve the unique needs of plus-size men and women by offering:
- Size-inclusive fashion in diverse styles, colors, and fits
