As a child, she enjoyed designing and drawing clothes, but she never told her parents, who own a supermarket, about her aspirations because she believed they expected her to pursue a more conventional career. Consequently, she went to university to study management. After graduating, Kal moved to London and started working for an advertising agency. She was interested in attending industry events but could not afford the expensive designer clothes she liked, so she began designing and creating her own skirts and tops. When her friends saw her clothing, they asked her to make similar pieces for them, which she did. Eventually, she found a small shop in London that was willing to display her designs on a sale-or-return basis. Her clothes were very popular, and nothing was returned. This success encouraged her to leave her advertising job and take out a £20,000 loan to establish her own womenswear label. Kal's parents were not angry about her decision to pursue her passion, and they said that they would support her. This made her very happy. Today, her clothing line is available in over 70 stores, and her business has an annual income of over £500,000. Her designs are featured in fashion magazines, and she has even designed clothing for pop stars. Recently, she received public recognition for her accomplishments by winning the Young Achiever of the Year award at the Asian Business Awards. Kal is grateful for her success and acknowledges that she has been fortunate, but she also recognizes that she has worked hard to achieve her goals. ‘What I do is my hobby - and I get paid for it!
