A Dazzling Celebration of 100 Years – Honouring Excellence in Textiles Manufacturing
Mumbai, 10th September: In a resplendent showcase of legacy and future ready, Raymond, India’s iconic textile and apparel company, celebrated an extraordinary milestone — 100 years of trust, craftsmanship, and innovation — at a grand centenary gala held at Jio World Convention Centre, Mumbai.
This was not just a celebration. It is a proud moment for Indian enterprise, a rare distinction that only a handful of home grown companies have achieved — a century-long journey of contributing to India’s economic, industrial, and cultural fabric. The night unfolded as a magnificent tapestry of scintillating performances, storytelling, and tributes, echoing Raymond’s unwavering commitment to excellence and its embodiment of the ‘Make in India’ spirit which was the propelling force for India’s textile industry.
Amidst the illustrious company comprising of industry titans, visionaries, long-standing channel partners, and loyal patrons, Gautam Singhania, Chairman & Managing Director of Raymond Group, shared, “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 powerful highlight of the evening was the unveiling of the exclusive “100 Years of Raymond” postal stamp — a timeless emblem of Raymond’s journey from a humble woollen mill in 1925 to a global conglomerate admired for its integrity, precision, and craftsmanship.
The celebration continued with dazzling performances, a sneak peek into two brand-new television campaigns, and the premiere of a trailblazing, AI-generated short film – a stunning 3.5-minute cinematic experience that heralds Raymond’s bold leap into the future.
Over the last century, Raymond has dressed the nation — from boardrooms to weddings, from first interviews to life’s defining moments. But beyond textiles, it has evolved into a multi-dimensional force, with interests spanning Real Estate, Engineering, and Aerospace & Defence — all driven by a common ethos, excellence without compromise.
Today, Raymond is more than a brand. It is an institution, a symbol of India’s industrial heritage, and now, a torchbearer for future generations. Its centenary celebration is not just a reflection of its glorious past but a clarion call to continue shaping India’s growth story across sectors, across borders.
With the group undergoing rapid transformation, Raymond has now structured its business in three core verticals focused on Lifestyle, Real Estate and Engineering.
