Founder Story

RAAS was founded in Chicago by Shreya Patel in 2018 after recognizing a gap in the U.S. market for Indian clothing that combined craftsmanship with convenience.

Customers often faced long shipping timelines, import duties, inconsistent sizing, and limited support when ordering from overseas. RAAS was built to solve these challenges by offering a U.S.-based shopping experience with handcrafted designs, faster delivery, and dependable service.

In 2020, Axi Patel joined the brand, expanding the collection into western and evening wear while maintaining the core focus on modern South Asian celebrationwear.
