Kendrick Lamar and Joe Jonas have worn @karuresearch, designer Kartik Kumra’s clothing brand. It’s carried at 11 stores worldwide, including Mr Porter and Ssense. This year, it’s on track to hit upward of $900,000 in revenue, up from $300,000 a year ago.

“I’ve got two papers due next week and one exam,” said the 22-year-old Delhi native, who was days away from finishing a degree in economics at the University of Pennsylvania on the December afternoon that we spoke. (He graduated on Monday.)
“I’ve been ready to be done since this took off,” said Mr. Kumra, his backpack leaning against his chair.
In the time that it takes some college students to pick a major, Mr. Kumra has fleshed out an impressive fashion business. Read more about it at the link in bio. (🖊️: @jacobwgallagher, 📷️: @mylesloftin)
