Raymond Celebrates 100 Years of Legacy & Innovation

Raymond, India’s most iconic textile and apparel brand, marked a historic milestone by celebrating 100 years of excellence, innovation, and craftsmanship at a grand centenary gala held at Jio World Convention Centre, Mumbai.

The event went beyond a celebration — it was a moment of national pride, symbolising a rare achievement that only a few homegrown companies can claim: a century-long contribution to India’s economy, industry, and culture. The evening unfolded as a spectacular blend of performances, storytelling, and heartfelt tributes, perfectly reflecting Raymond’s commitment to excellence and its role as a torchbearer of the ‘Make in India’ movement, which continues to inspire the country’s textile industry.

Addressing the distinguished gathering of industry leaders, partners, and patrons, Gautam Singhania, Chairman & Managing Director of Raymond Group, stated, “A century is not just a milestone — it is a saga of endurance, innovation, and trust built over generations. While others measure time in quarters, we measure it in legacies. Our eyes are firmly set on the future, but our soul remains rooted in India's progress. The Raymond of tomorrow will stand tall on the foundation of 100 years of excellence.”

A key highlight of the celebration was the unveiling of the exclusive "100 Years of Raymond" postal stamp — a symbolic tribute to the company’s remarkable journey from its modest beginning as a woollen mill in 1925 to becoming a globally admired conglomerate renowned for integrity, precision, and world-class craftsmanship.

The evening also featured spectacular performances, the launch of two new television campaigns, and the premiere of a pioneering AI-generated short film — a captivating 3.5-minute cinematic experience that showcased Raymond’s bold vision for the future.

For a century, Raymond has been synonymous with dressing India — from corporate boardrooms to weddings and from first interviews to life’s key milestones. Over time, it has grown beyond textiles into a multi-faceted powerhouse with business interests in Real Estate, Engineering, and Aerospace & Defence, all unified by the ethos of uncompromising excellence.

Today, Raymond stands as an institution — a living testament to India’s industrial progress and a beacon for future generations. Its centenary is both a tribute to its glorious past and a powerful call to shape India’s growth story in the decades ahead. The company has now streamlined its operations into three strategic verticals: Lifestyle, Real Estate, and Engineering, signaling a transformative phase for the next century.
