House of Chikankari Shark Tank India Special
What happens when a mother-daughter duo with a shared love for Indian crafts walks onto a national television stage? House of Chikankari made a lasting impression on Shark Tank India, winning backing from Aman Gupta (boAt) and Peyush Bansal (Lenskart).
As a shark tank clothing brand rooted in Lucknow's artisan traditions, HOC brought something rare to the stage: authentic hand-embroidered Chikankari made for real wardrobes.
This Shark Tank special collection celebrates that milestone with a curated edit of handcrafted Chikankari pieces that define that promise.

How to Style Chikankari Kurtas from the Collection
HOC has built a reputation as a shark tank indian wear brand that balances heritage craft with modern styling. A few ways to wear pieces from the collection:
-
A white Chikankari kurta with straight-fit trousers and kolhapuris makes a polished work outfit
-
A printed mulmul kurta pairs well with silver oxidised jewellery and jutis for weekend brunches
-
A kurta set with a light dupatta works for festive gatherings and pujas without needing extra accessories
-
For summer layering, a cotton kurta over palazzo pants keeps the look breathable and put together
Fabrics and Craft in the Collection
Every piece in the Shark Tank Special is rooted in Lucknow's Chikankari tradition. The embroidery is done entirely by hand, using traditional stitch patterns like bakhiya and phanda that take skilled artisans days to complete.
Fabric choices lean towards comfort. Mulmul and cotton are ideal for warmer months, while Linen and Chanderi offer a slightly structured drape for a more tailored look. For anyone searching for a kurti brand in Shark Tank that focuses on genuine craftsmanship over mass production, the fabric and stitch quality here speak for themselves.
