Until now, India has never had a brand that focused exclusively on formal wear for women. The Indian fashion industry has long been dominated by brands specializing in ethnic wear, casual outfits, and occasion wear, leaving a significant gap in the market for stylish, high-quality, and professional formals for women.
For decades, working women have struggled to find clothing that reflects both confidence and comfort. Whether it’s for boardroom meetings, client presentations, or corporate events, Indian women often had to mix and match from global fast-fashion labels or men’s sections to curate a professional look. There was no brand identity in India that stood for women’s formal wear — until now.
That’s where Wayonic steps in. Founded by Ishika Sethi, a young visionary entrepreneur, Wayonic is India’s first-ever brand dedicated entirely to women’s formals. With its strong sense of identity and bold concept, Wayonic aims to redefine power dressing for the modern Indian woman.
An Untouched Market, Now Captured
In India’s fashion industry, where ethnic wear dominates the shelves and casual wear trends on social media, no brand truly owned the formal wear segment for women. Wayonic has entered this untapped market at the perfect time.
As more women enter corporate environments, entrepreneurship, politics, and leadership positions, the demand for professional and elegant office wear is skyrocketing. Wayonic identifies this growing need and caters specifically to it, combining international design sensibilities with Indian tailoring precision.
The result is a range that’s bold yet elegant, professional yet comfortable, and above all, made exclusively for women who mean business.
Filling the Gap: Why Wayonic Was Needed
When it comes to formal fashion, men have always had reliable names — brands that dominate the corporate wear segment with clear positioning. But for women, the scenario has been starkly different. “If a girl wants to buy formals, no single brand name clicks instantly,” says Ishika Sethi, Founder & CEO of Wayonic.
Her observation led to a powerful realization: Indian women deserve more. They deserve a brand that reflects their professional growth, ambition, and modern lifestyle — not just an adaptation of men’s formal wear, but designs created for women, by women, with an understanding of how they live, move, and lead.
This thought became the foundation for Wayonic — a brand that is now being recognized as a game changer in India’s fashion landscape.
Wayonic: Redefining Power Dressing for Women
More than just clothing, Wayonic represents empowerment. Every stitch, every cut, and every design element is crafted with the idea of blending style, comfort, and authority. The brand celebrates women who are shaping industries, leading teams, managing startups, and balancing multiple roles — all while looking effortlessly confident.
Each Wayonic collection focuses on versatile formal pieces — tailored blazers, structured trousers, elegant shirts, and sleek office dresses — that allow women to transition smoothly from meetings to evening events without compromising their individuality.
Wayonic’s signature aesthetic is minimal, refined, and powerful — celebrating the new-age Indian woman who is breaking stereotypes and redefining what leadership looks like.
The Vision of Ishika Sethi
“There are brands like Zara and H&M,” says Ishika, “but none focus exclusively on women’s formals. I wanted to create something that stands for confidence, individuality, and ambition — and that’s what Wayonic embodies.”
With a deep understanding of fashion and market dynamics, Ishika’s vision for Wayonic goes beyond apparel. Ishika Sethi aims to build a culture of power dressing in India. For her, every woman who wears Wayonic becomes a symbol of grace, determination, and strength.

Under her leadership, Wayonic is being shaped into not just a brand but a community of women who inspire confidence in themselves and others.
Wayonic’s Core Philosophy: More Than Fashion — A Statement of Power
Every piece at Wayonic tells a story — of ambition, resilience, and confidence. The brand believes that what women wear can influence not just how they look, but how they feel and perform.
Wayonic isn’t about trends; it’s about timeless professionalism. Its designs are versatile, seasonless, and meant to make women feel empowered in every space they occupy — whether that’s a meeting room, a creative workspace, or a public stage.
“Clothing,” Ishika says, “should not just enhance your appearance — it should elevate your energy. Wayonic is about creating that aura of authority and self-assurance.”
The Future of Wayonic
With its bold concept and powerful mission, Wayonic is all set to redefine the future of Indian women’s fashion. Ishika Sethi envisions expanding the brand’s reach across India and internationally through online and offline platforms, making it accessible to every ambitious woman who values style and strength in equal measure.
The goal is to make Wayonic the go-to name for women’s formal wear in India, much like how Zara and H&M represent global fast fashion. But unlike those global giants, Wayonic stands apart by being dedicated solely to women’s formals, giving it a niche yet powerful position in the market.
The Talk of the Town
With its refreshing concept, empowering narrative, and premium collections, Wayonic is quickly becoming the talk of the town. It’s not just another fashion launch — it’s the beginning of a movement that celebrates ambition, professionalism, and the evolution of Indian women in the workplace.
Wayonic’s tagline says it best:
“Where Women Wear Power.”
Because today’s women don’t just follow fashion —
they define it.
