KORA by Nilesh Mitesh has opened its third store in Tamil Nadu, expanding its presence in Chennai with a new flagship at 2nd Avenue, Anna Nagar. The store opened on January 14, 2026, marking a milestone for the bridge-to-luxury Indian men’s ethnic-wear brand, thanks to strong customer response and support in the city.
Founded by designer duo Nilesh Chhadva and Mitesh Sumbad, KORA has built a loyal following in Tamil Nadu after the success of its Nungambakkam store and its presence in Coimbatore. The Anna Nagar store brings the full KORA experience closer to customers in North Chennai, offering greater access to luxury ethnic wear for the modern Indian man while staying rooted in tradition.
The Anna Nagar store is curated to reflect Tamil cultural sensibilities and contemporary elegance. The collection includes traditional veshti sets, pancha and kurta combinations, angavastram-inspired sherwanis, and festive silk kurta sets for Pongal, weddings, temple visits, and other celebrations. Each design balances heritage craftsmanship with modern silhouettes, premium fabrics, and refined detailing.
For grooms, the store offers bespoke wedding ensembles, including luxurious silk sherwanis, intricately embroidered veshti pairings, and contemporary indo-western outfits. With made-to-measure service and personalized styling consultations, KORA ensures every groom’s attire respects cultural traditions while reflecting individual style and personality.
The founders said the response from Chennai customers has been overwhelming and humbling. Opening a third store in Tamil Nadu is their way of expressing gratitude and making the KORA experience more accessible to customers who have chosen the brand for their most meaningful moments.
Established in 2011, KORA by Nilesh Mitesh has grown from a boutique design studio into a globally recognised brand with 28 stores across India, the United Kingdom, and the UAE. Its presence spans major cities such as Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Delhi, Chennai, and Coimbatore, as well as international locations such as London, Birmingham, and Dubai.
The new Anna Nagar store spans about 4,200 square feet and features elegant interiors that blend contemporary design with Indian aesthetics. Customers can explore sections for traditional wear, fusion styles, wedding collections, and festive ensembles, as well as expert tailoring and exclusive designs. The store is open daily from 10:30 AM to 9:00 PM, with appointments available for personalised consultations.
With this expansion, KORA reaffirms its vision of being a bridge between heritage and modernity, offering luxury ethnic wear that resonates with today’s discerning Indian gentleman while staying true to India’s rich textile and cultural legacy.
