This integration provides Mish Designs with immediate access to established retail locations across key markets, with the deal adding eight existing DeMoza stores to the group's portfolio.
According to Business Standard, the transaction includes eight existing DeMoza stores that will become part of the acquisition. This addition of physical retail locations further strengthens the Group's retail presence across key markets, providing Mish Designs with immediate operational infrastructure and customer base in established locations. The acquisition marks a shift from purely organic store growth to inorganic expansion for Mish's offline channel, potentially accelerating market penetration in regions where DeMoza already holds shelf space.

As reported by Business Standard, the company currently operates three flagship stores in Pune, Raipur, and Indore under its own brands, MISH and CURVES BY MISH. Mish Designs specializes in affordable Western and Indo-Western women's apparel, with its product range including dresses, gowns, tops, co-ords, T-shirts, trousers, and palazzos, featuring over 1,000 designs available. The company also exports the ZOEY line to the UAE and supports production through a 10,000 sq. ft. manufacturing unit staffed by 54 employees.
According to Business Standard, Kaushal Goenka, Managing Director of Mish Designs, highlighted the strategic value of the deal, noting the integration of DeMoza's retail footprint with Mish's operational capabilities. The acquisition provides immediate access to established retail relationships and a design language already recognized by consumers, representing a significant expansion of the company's physical retail presence beyond its digital-first model.
