Relaxo Footwear Limited

In the bustling streets of New Delhi, where every stride tells a story, Relaxo Footwears Limited emerged as a humble yet ambitious venture in 1976. Founded by visionary entrepreneurs Mukand Lal Dua and Ramesh Kumar Dua, the company began with a single, indispensable product: the classic Hawaiian chappal, or rubber slipper. What started as a small-scale operation in the heart of India's footwear heartland quickly transformed into a national phenomenon, embodying affordability, durability, and everyday comfort. Incorporated formally in 1984, Relaxo has since grown into India's largest footwear manufacturer by volume, producing over 100,000 pairs daily and serving millions across urban alleys and rural paths alike.
The journey of Relaxo is one of relentless evolution. From its modest origins, the company expanded its footprint through strategic innovation and a keen eye on consumer needs. By the 1990s, Relaxo diversified beyond basic slippers, venturing into fashionable sandals and sports footwear. Today, Relaxo boasts a portfolio of 10 iconic brands, including the timeless Relaxo with versatile rubber slippers for all ages; Sparx, the youth-favorite for dynamic sports shoes, sandals, and slippers that capture the spirit of active India Flite, blending style and semi-formal elegance in trendy slippers and Bahamas, a vibrant collection of colorful flip-flops celebrating freedom and fun. Other gems like Belle for women's grace, Boston for casual chic, Mary Jane for schoolgirls' charm, Kid's Fun for playful tots, and Schoolmate for budding scholars round out a lineup that spans slippers, sandals, flip-flops, casual shoes, and athletic wear.
At its core, Relaxo's success lies in its unwavering commitment to quality at accessible prices. Headquartered in New Delhi with state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities across India, including a recent 30-acre expansion in Bhiwadi, Rajasthan, acquired for ₹135 crore in 2023, the company sources premium raw materials and employs cutting-edge technology to ensure every pair offers superior comfort, longevity, and versatility.
