Oshadi Intro Image

औषधि

Oshadi, pronounced aw-sha-dhi, means ‘essence of nature’ or ‘healing plant’ in Sanskrit. We began our journey as a womenswear label, founded by Nishanth Chopra in 2016. Our desire to respect and regenerate the Earth has since led us through every process that goes into creating clothing, from printing and dyeing to weaving and spinning, and eventually back to the soil.

Today we are cultivating a new fashion system–one rooted in ancient Indian agricultural practices and artisan heritage, with a 250-acre regenerative cotton farm at its heart. We share what we have built with brands and designers whose values align with our simple ethos: to give back more than we take.

A new model for fashion...

At Oshadi, we are redesigning the system from the ground up. We employ local people on their own terms instead of navigating different suppliers and middlemen, meaning we can uphold the highest ethical and environmental standards. Our farmer-first format lets the farmer decide the price of the cotton, rather than the buyer. From there on, we can make sure all profit is distributed fairly.
