How BIBA came into existence?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It all started in 1988 in a modest Delhi kitchen, where Meena Bindra, a homemaker with a knack for design, took a leap with an Rs 8000 loan. She began stitching kurtas and salwar suits\u2014bright, breezy pieces inspired by Punjab\u2019s colors and her own flair. What began as a side hustle for neighbors quickly caught fire. By 1993, her first store opened, and Biba\u2014named after a Punjabi endearment\u2014became a whisper on every fashionista\u2019s lips. Fast forward to 2025, and it\u2019s a Rs 600-crore giant with 150+ stores, dressing women from Mumbai to Madurai in anarkalis, lehengas, and everyday kurtas that blend tradition with a modern twist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From that kitchen corner to a nationwide name, Meena\u2019s grit\u2014backed by her family after her passing in 2019\u2014shows how a desi dream can stitch its way to the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
