Pallak Seth arrived in Hong Kong in 1999 with $250,000 from his father to establish his own business, alongside the family’s garment factory in India. Keen to source new product categories from China and to serve clients introduced by his father, he set about establishing relationships with factories there, offering differentiated fashion products to retailers across Europe. Six years later, Seth teamed up with Sunny Malhotra, his first hire, and the duo never looked back.
