The study focuses on how the fashion social network has matured from being a discovery platform to an ultimate lifestyle social network for Indian consumers.

Being a Harvard case study will give us an edge over others in the market. Few Indian start-ups have this jewel in their crowns. Our users can now boast of being part of an Indian fashion social network, whose business journey is now a Harvard case study, added Bhangadia when asked about the impact it could have on Roposos users and customers.
