Conducted entirely online with a nominal registration fee of Rs 51, the initiative is designed to encourage wider participation.

As per the schedule, registrations were open until 13 July 2026, 9:00 p.m. The design challenge was unveiled at 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday, 14 July, and participants were required to submit their entries between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. The winners will be announced on 15 July at 4:00 p.m. The winner will receive a Juki sewing machine, while the top three participants will be awarded trophies. Exclusive rewards have also been announced for the top 51 contestants.
Speaking about the initiative, Mohit Gadhiya, Co-Founder and Chairman, RajaRani Coaching, said, “India has no shortage of fashion talent. What many aspiring designers need is access to the right platform, recognition and opportunities to transform their skills into sustainable careers. Through this competition, we hope to celebrate creativity, encourage entrepreneurship and inspire more people to build successful careers through fashion.”
Priya M.G., Founder, RajaRani Coaching, added, “Blouse designing is one of the most commercially relevant skills in India’s fashion ecosystem, yet the talent behind it often goes unrecognized. Through this initiative, we want to provide a national platform where aspiring designers can showcase their skills, gain confidence and receive the recognition they truly deserve.”
Initiative promotes skill-based entrepreneurship in fashion
According to the brand, blouse designing remains one of the most significant segments of India’s ethnic wear industry. Combining technical precision, creativity, and craftsmanship, it continues to generate livelihood opportunities for thousands of boutique owners, homepreneurs, independent designers, and tailoring professionals across the country.
By launching India’s first national competition dedicated exclusively to blouse designing, RajaRani Coaching said it aims to formally recognise this skill while inspiring more individuals to pursue fashion as a sustainable career and entrepreneurial opportunity.
Mission to democratise fashion education
According to the organisation, the competition is part of its broader mission to democratise fashion education and promote practical skill development. Founded in Surat by Priya M.G. and Mohit Gadhiya, RajaRani Coaching has trained more than 3.5 lakh learners, offers over 140 fashion and design courses, and claims to have supported the establishment of more than 10,000 boutiques and fashion businesses across the country.
The institute has also received national recognition for its contribution to vocational education, including a Guinness World Record for the highest viewership of a live textiles lesson on YouTube and Forbes 30 Under 30 recognition for its founders.
