With an aim to build India's best and largest specialty consumer ecosystem, Burgundy Brand Collective brings together teams of professionals with diverse skills to tell unique stories that we are passionate about. We partner with international specialty and boutique brands looking to build sustainable "community-centric" businesses in India. The idea is to inspire and excite a new generation of like-minded, globally-aware and socially-engaged Indians and tell meaningful stories by building brands based on emerging consumer needs in India.

This idea materialized in 2012 by Avani Raheja and Samir Gadhok who began Burgundy by introducing Royce' Chocolate, a premium store of Japanese culinary excellency in India for the first time. Since then, we have grown to host several specialty brands under our umbrella, including Onitsuka Tiger - a leading Japanese fashion lifestyle brand, Provenance Gifting - a marketplace of fine food and excellent gifts, Papabubble - an artistic, youth-oriented global caramel candy brand and The Sunnyside Market which hosts a number of our thematic brands and incubates new retail concepts such as Wander and Good Vibes Only, to name a few.

We aim to grow manyfold and tell stories that inspire, celebrate individuality and create memorable experiences through the best-in-class brands. Together, we wish to weave magic in meaningful brands by delivering unparalleled craftsmanship, timeless elegance and exceptional experiences by merging art, innovation and sustainability thereby the becoming best specialty retailer and changing the face of specialty consumerism in India.
