About The Souled Store:
We are India's fastest-growing youth-focused lifestyle brand, established in 2013 as a homegrown company. We have evolved into one of the largest online merchandising platforms, licensed by prominent brands such as Disney, Warner Bros., WWE, IPL, and Viacom18.
Starting with pop culture-inspired designs featuring superheroes, movies, TV shows, and cartoons, we now lead the youth fashion and streetwear trends. Our product range includes core men's and women's apparel, footwear, kidswear, backpacks, collectibles, and action figures.
We primarily built our brand online but are expanding rapidly offline, with over 40 retail stores across India and ambitious nationwide expansion plans.
At The Souled Store, we believe that people do their best work when they're truly passionate about it. We've built a team of smart, driven, and ownership-focused individuals who think like leaders and love what they do.
