Kora opens third Tamil Nadu store in Chennai’s Anna Nagar
CHENNAI: Kora by Nilesh Mitesh has given Chennai another reason to dress up. The bridge-to-luxury Indian men’s ethnic wear brand has opened its third store in Tamil Nadu at Anna Nagar, marking a confident step in its growing love affair with the city.
Located on 2nd Avenue, the new 4,200 square feet flagship is both a celebration and a thank you. After the strong response to its Nungambakkam store and steady patronage from across the state, Kora’s latest opening brings its signature craftsmanship closer to North Chennai’s style-conscious crowd.
The Anna Nagar store blends Tamil tradition with contemporary flair. Think refined veshti sets, silk kurtas made for Pongal mornings, pancha and kurta pairings for temple visits, and angavastram-inspired sherwanis that nod to heritage while staying firmly modern. Every piece is designed for today’s man who values culture but prefers clean lines and confident silhouettes.
For grooms, the store is a destination in itself. From luxurious silk sherwanis and designer veshti combinations to sharply tailored Indo western ensembles, Kora offers made-to-measure wedding wear backed by personalised styling consultations. The focus is simple. Honour tradition, look unforgettable.
The founders say the expansion is driven by genuine customer warmth. Chennai, they note, has embraced Kora not just for weddings, but for life’s quieter celebrations too. Opening in Anna Nagar is their way of returning that affection and making the brand more accessible across the city.
Founded in 2011 by designer duo Nilesh Chhadva and Mitesh Sumbad, Kora has grown from a boutique studio into a global name in luxury Indian menswear. Today, the brand operates 28 stores across India, the UK and the UAE, balancing traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design at every step.
The Anna Nagar store features dedicated sections for festive wear, wedding collections, fusion styles and classic essentials, along with expert tailoring services. As always, attention to detail is the hero, from fabric selection to finishing touches.
To mark the opening, Kora is hosting launch week celebrations with collection previews, complimentary styling sessions and special offers. The store is open daily from 10.30 am to 9 pm, with appointments available for personalised consultations.
With this launch, Kora continues to do what it does best. Build a bridge between heritage and modern life, one impeccably tailored outfit at a time.

Wellbeing Nutrition ropes in Malavika Mohanan as brand ambassador
Actor fronts Marine Collagen and Skin Fuel Glutathione portfolio.
MUMBAI: Malavika Mohanan just became the face of inner glow because when your skincare starts in the bottle instead of the jar, even beauty gets a glow-up from the inside out. Wellbeing Nutrition has appointed acclaimed actor Malavika Mohanan as brand ambassador for its premium Korean Marine Collagen and Skin Fuel Glutathione range. The move signals a deliberate shift in the Indian ingestible beauty segment from surface-level routines to foundation-level nutrition that supports skin health from within.
The campaign positions collagen as the essential “beauty protein” that maintains elasticity and firmness, with daily supplementation reframed as a consistent ritual rather than a quick cosmetic fix. It aims to simplify the science behind collagen and build awareness around long-term skin nourishment.
Wellbeing Nutrition co-founder Saurabh Kapoor said, “In India, collagen is still largely viewed through a cosmetic lens, associated with glow and quick fixes. In reality, it is the primary structural protein of the skin, and we begin losing nearly 1 per cent of it every year in the late 20s. Yet a significant number of consumers remain unaware of its foundational role in long-term skin health. Our goal is to shift the conversation from fixing visible signs to feeding the foundation.”
Malavika Mohanan added, “For me, skincare has always been about consistency and taking care of myself in ways that go beyond just what I apply on my skin. I love the idea of supporting skin health from within, and that’s what drew me to Wellbeing Nutrition’s Marine Collagen and Skin Fuel Gluta.”
The Korean Marine Collagen uses nano-hydrolyzed peptides for better bioavailability, while Skin Fuel Glutathione complements the inside-out approach. The portfolio targets structure, brightness and resilience over time, backed by clinical research.
The ambassador announcement kicks off a broader collagen-focused roadmap for the brand, with planned innovations across formats and functional blends.
In an era where beauty routines are getting deeper than skin, Wellbeing Nutrition isn’t just selling supplements, it’s selling the quiet power of feeding your glow from the inside, one daily scoop at a time.
