Bridge-to-luxury Indian men’s ethnic wear brand KORA by Nilesh Mitesh has expanded its footprint in Chennai with the opening of its third store in Tamil Nadu at 2nd Avenue, Anna Nagar on January 14, 2026. The move follows strong customer response to the brand’s existing stores in Nungambakkam and Coimbatore.
Spanning 4,200 sq. ft., the Anna Nagar outlet is positioned as a flagship store and aims to cater to customers in North Chennai. The store houses KORA’s full portfolio, including traditional veshti sets, angavastram-inspired sherwanis, pancha-kurta combinations, festive silk kurta sets, indo-western styles, and bespoke wedding collections.
The brand said the new store has been curated to reflect Tamil cultural aesthetics while maintaining its contemporary design language. Collections at the store have been tailored for regional preferences, especially for weddings, temple occasions, and festivals such as Pongal.
“The love we’ve received from Chennai has been overwhelming and truly humbling. Our customers in Nungambakkam and across Tamil Nadu have embraced KORA as their destination for meaningful celebrations and everyday elegance. Opening our third store in Tamil Nadu at Anna Nagar is our way of saying thank you and bringing the KORA experience even closer to the wonderful people of Chennai who have made us part of their most cherished moments,” said Nilesh Chhadva & Mitesh Sumbad, Founders, KORA by Nilesh Mitesh.
The store also offers made-to-measure services, personalised styling consultations and in-house tailoring, with a strong focus on wedding wear for grooms. According to the brand, the Chennai market continues to be a key growth driver due to its strong demand for premium ethnic wear rooted in tradition.
Founded in 2011, KORA by Nilesh Mitesh operates 28 stores across India and international markets, including the UK and UAE. In India, the brand has a presence across Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Delhi, Indore, Lucknow and Vijayawada.

To mark the launch, the Anna Nagar store will host opening-week activities including previews of new collections and styling sessions.
