Shiv Naresh: The indigenous colour of Indian sports
It will be hard to find an Indian athlete who during his glorious sporting journey has not been attired by India’s indigenous sportswear brand Shive Naresh – that brand the feels and understands the pulse of Indian sports and sportspersons.
The brand that was born out of the need of an athlete has grown on the strength of its understanding for the needs of athletes. A multi-crore rupee apparel brand today with an international presence today has originated some three decades back out of the personal needs of its founder RK Singh, who was an athlete himself. The 76-year-old chairman as an athlete would struggle to get a quality sportswear in Delhi. It was in 1970s that he had to travel to as far as Patiala even for a quality footwear or apparel. That necessity germinated the idea of providing fellow sportspersons quality, affordable apparels that enable them to excel on the field. Ever since, service to the athletes has been the philosophy of the brand that has grown from a household factory to state-of-the-art production unit, powered by several thousand skilled personnel, with a potential to produce 30,000 garment units every day.
“I started Shiv Naresh to provide the young sportsmen of my time with good quality athletic wear at affordable prices. Something, I struggled to find when I used to play. My wife supported my endeavour and helped me make my vision a reality. Today we provide sportswear for various (national and international) teams, (sports) federations, PSUs and even the mass market for the daily fitness and sports’ needs of a common man,” says R K Singh, director and founder, Shiv Naresh. “Athlete First has been our philosophy”.
Some of India’s leading athletes endorse that Shiv Naresh has been a companion and supporter in their rise to the stardom. There may be bigger multinationals in the Indian sportswear market worth ₹ 7,500 crores now. But no other brand matches Shiv Naresh in addressing the needs of an athlete or a team when it comes to providing customised apparels.
“My commercial commitment with a multinational brand today bars me from speaking about Shiv Naresh or any rival sports brand. But I cannot lie to myself for the fact that I am yet to get a more customised and more comfortable kit I would get from Shiv Naresh. This brand and family have been a strong influence in my growth as an athlete. When we were growing up as athletes in the village, Shiv Naresh to us meant India ki jersey, India ka track suit,” a 2018 Asian Games medallist told insidesport.co on condition of anonymity. “How can I forget, they have provided us customised kits overnight when we were yet to attain this recognition.”
This is a brand with global quality and an Indian price tagline, says the athletes.
