Raymond, India’s iconic textile and apparel powerhouse, marked a historic milestone — completing 100 years of craftsmanship, innovation, and trust — with a grand centenary celebration at the Jio World Convention Centre, Mumbai. This centenary gala was not just a commemoration of the past but a tribute to Indian enterprise, symbolizing a rare achievement that only a few homegrown companies can claim. The evening unfolded as a vibrant showcase of performances, storytelling, and tributes, reflecting Raymond’s enduring commitment to excellence and its pivotal role in propelling India’s textile industry under the ‘Make in India’ ethos.
Addressing the gathering of industry leaders, long-standing partners, and loyal patrons, Gautam Singhania, Chairman & Managing Director of Raymond Group, said: “A century is not just a milestone — it is a saga of endurance, innovation, and trust built over generations. While others measure time in quarters, we measure it in legacies. Our eyes are firmly set on the future, but our soul remains rooted in India’s progress. The Raymond of tomorrow will stand tall on the foundation of 100 years of excellence.”
A major highlight of the evening was the launch of the exclusive “100 Years of Raymond” commemorative postal stamp — a symbol of the company’s journey from a modest woollen mill in 1925 to a global conglomerate admired for its integrity and craftsmanship. The celebration also featured dazzling cultural performances, the unveiling of two new television campaigns, and the premiere of a cutting-edge AI-generated short film — a 3.5-minute cinematic experience underscoring Raymond’s bold leap into the future.
Over the past century, Raymond has dressed generations of Indians through their most important life moments — from interviews and boardrooms to weddings and celebrations. Beyond textiles, it has grown into a diversified group with ventures in Real Estate, Engineering, and Aerospace & Defence — all united by the philosophy of uncompromised excellence.
Today, Raymond stands not just as a brand, but as an institution — a living symbol of India’s industrial heritage and a guiding light for future generations. With its businesses now restructured into three key verticals — Lifestyle, Real Estate, and Engineering — Raymond’s centenary is both a celebration of its illustrious past and a renewed commitment to shaping India’s growth story across industries and borders.
