The Spark Behind Kiki by Ishika Agrawal
In January 2024, as Ishika Agrawal prepared for her brother’s wedding, she found the perfect designer dress but was overwhelmed by the price tag. She realized she would only wear it once, and with an already overflowing closet, the idea of storing it made no sense.
That’s when it hit her: Why not rent a beautiful dress for special occasions instead of buying it?
This moment of frustration led to the creation of Kiki by Ishika Agrawal. The platform offers stylish, high-quality occasion wear for rent — giving women access to designer dresses without the financial burden or closet clutter. Whether it’s a wedding, gala, or celebration, Kiki allows women to look their best, without the commitment of ownership.

In March 2024, Ishika Agrawal worked tirelessly to launch Kiki by Ishika Agrawal. She conducted market researchthrough surveys and Instagram polls to understand what women wanted in occasion wear. This feedback shaped her vision for the brand.
She attended fashion exhibitions and dove into R&D to stay on top of trends and discover the best fabrics and designs. Ishika built a reliable delivery management system to ensure timely deliveries and set up a specialized cleaning processto maintain the quality of every outfit.
On top of that, she forged strong relationships with designers for procurement, securing a curated collection of high-end pieces for rent. By March 2024, Kiki was ready to offer women a seamless,
stylish way to dress for special occasions — without the hassle of ownership.
