We Started With
One Belief.Every woman deserves
to earn from her craft.

Skillinabox was born in a pandemic lockdown, on an Instagram live, in front of 200 women who had nothing to do but dream. Four years later — 20,000 women, 18 countries, ₹15 crore in income generated. This is how it happened.

Fashion as financial freedom.

Why We Exist

"India has millions of women with raw talent, steady hands, and the drive to build something of their own. They just never had a real path."

We didn't start Skillinabox because fashion was trending. We started it because we watched women — homemakers, students, working professionals — struggle to turn a real skill into real income. The opportunity existed. The education didn't.

Fashion and beauty are not hobbies for these women. They are a vehicle. A way to pay school fees, to save for a house, to say — for the first time — "this money is mine." That is why every program we build starts with the question: will this actually get her paid?

We are not an edtech company. We are a skilling platform. The difference matters. Edtech counts course completions. We count income generated. ₹15 crore and growing.

The Founder's Story

From Teaching on Instagram Live to India's Biggest Fashion Platform

In April 2020, Ritvik Chauhan was a fashion designer with a following and a locked-down country. He went live on Instagram to teach stitching — not as a business plan, but because he had time and women had questions.

200 women showed up. Then 500. Then 2,000. They weren't just learning to stitch — they were asking: "Can I do this from home? Can I make money from this?" Ritvik realised the answer was yes — but only if someone built them the right path.

"I didn't want to build another YouTube channel. I wanted to build something that actually changed what a woman earns at the end of the month."

He co-founded Skillinabox with Prateek, built the curriculum himself, and personally mentored the first 1,000 students. Today he still leads every flagship program — live, with his name and face on it. That accountability is what makes Skillinabox different.

Our Journey

How We Got Here

From a lockdown Instagram live to 20,000 women and 18 countries — every year a new chapter.

2020

The Spark

During the pandemic lockdown, Ritvik noticed thousands of women stuck at home with raw talent but zero opportunity. He started teaching stitching on Instagram — 200 women joined his first live session. That was the moment.

2021

Skillinabox Is Born

Ritvik and Prateek co-founded Skillinabox with ₹0 in VC funding and one mission: make fashion education accessible to every Indian woman, wherever she is. First batch: 47 women. First city: Delhi.

2022

NID Partnership

After months of conversations, National Institute of Design came on board. The NID Fashion Design Program launched — the first of its kind in online fashion education in India. A landmark moment.

2023

NSDC Recognition & 10,000 Women

The National Skill Development Corporation officially recognized Skillinabox. 10,000 women crossed. We expanded to Mastery Programs and city-specific batches across Bangalore, Pune, Delhi, Hyderabad, Indore.

2024

Going Global

Women from 18+ countries — UAE, UK, Canada, Singapore, Australia — started enrolling. ₹15 crore in income generated by our learners. The movement had gone international.

2025

20,000+ and Counting

Over 20,000 women trained. Top monthly earner: ₹1.5 lakh/month from home. We launched Activation Bootcamps, Embroidery Mastery, Corset Mastery. Every new program is another door we open.

2026

Building the Future

New city pages, NID live batches, and our first physical studio planned. The goal: 1,00,000 women earning from fashion in the next 3 years. We are just getting started.

What We Stand For

Three principles. Non-negotiable.

💸

Income First

Every decision we make — curriculum, pricing, scheduling — starts with one question: will this actually help her earn more? Not a certificate. Income.

🏠

Accessible by Design

Online, live, recorded, Hinglish. We designed every part of our program to work for a woman juggling a household, a job, and a dream — not a college student with eight free hours a day.

🤝

Accountability Over Everything

Ritvik puts his face on every course. Our team answers every WhatsApp message. We track earnings, not just completions. If a learner isn't earning, we haven't done our job.
