Radhika Arora

Final-year Fashion Business Management graduate from the Indian Institute of Art and Design, Delhi — a dual degree in partnership with Kingston University London — with grounded experience across luxury retail, multi-brand buying, and data-driven merchandising. The buying internship at AJIO Luxe, Reliance Brands Limited, covered the full buying cycle: from assortment planning and vendor coordination to sell-through tracking across 51 premium and luxury labels. Time on the floor at Aquazzura added a complementary perspective on the mono-brand luxury client experience.

The capstone dissertation tackled a real commercial problem — buy mix misalignment against actual sales performance — and delivered evidence-backed recommendations to close that gap. Relationship-building sits at the core of how work gets done, paired with a genuine eye for product and a habit of asking why the numbers look the way they do.
