Drish Shoes

We share a humble beginning, with many other success stories. Yet our inception was innovatively inspired; we were guided by creativity and we resolutely believed in the possibilities of teamwork and potential of technologies. With modest financial inputs but far-sighted perspective we soon achieved economies of scale to become a venture with strong brand equity. The story of Drish spans twenty eight years of endeavour and achievement. The company consistently ventured into more areas of capabilities, enhancing capacities and foraying into different regions and territories to today establish itself as a leader in manufacturing leather, leather accessories and footwear of global repute. Beginning in 1988 with upper making and leather finishing, Drish rapidly established its manufacturing facilities of tanning and shoe making by the early 90s. Units were set up with state-of-the-art machinery and equipment of European origin (primarily German technology). Focus primarily was on increasing production volumes and sustaining quality. The next stage beginning in the mid-90s to 2015, was the time of rapid market consolidation with focus on sales, forward vertical integration and retail venturing. Drish acquired two German brands—Fortuna and Manz. Buffalo calf leather ‘Chandi’ became the bestselling leather brand out of India and the company and revenues increased rapidly. Drish has been making formidable strides in the last half decade. Prestigious names likes Zara, Mayoral, Louis Phillipe, Hush Puppies, Van den Assem and ABCD have joined the customers list.
