Meet this entrepreneur who quit his investment banker job in london and start his own footwear brand in india and made ₹1.5 crore within a year.

 The incredible journey of Nishant Kanodia and his SKO footwear brand. It's awe-inspiring to see someone who has worked as an investment banker for 13 years in London, quitting his job and returning to India to pursue his passion for entrepreneurship.

Nishant's family had already been involved in the footwear business for 30 years, which made it easier for him to enter the market. However, when he came back to India, there were not many footwear brands available in the market compared to now. He faced the challenge of introducing something new to the market. Despite that, he took a shoe course in London and invested his own capital of 1 crore to start SKO footwear in 2018.

SKO has become a luxury shoe brand with clean Scandinavian design, and their products range from sneakers to sandals and heels to loafers. Nishant's focus has always been on using high-quality materials that prioritize durability, adhesion, and design rather than volume.

The brand has grown significantly over the years and has become a mainstay in the industry. SKO has collaborated with various names like Aza Fashions, Nicobar, Regal Shoes, Almari, Curato, and Evoluzione. SKO's aim has always been to provide one place to meet the needs of the Indian consumer's footwear.

Nishant now plans to work with like-minded designers to complement the product and provide a new product line. The brand also aims to raise some money in the future to speed up the growth process.

Nishant's journey is a testament to the fact that if you have a vision, passion, and dedication towards your goal, nothing can stop you from achieving it. He has taken a risk, followed his heart, and created something amazing. His journey shows that with hard work, persistence, and a little bit of faith, one can achieve great things. SKO has become the best footwear brand in India, and Nishant Kanodia is an inspiration to many aspiring entrepreneurs.
