The world is my oyster: Sabyasachi Mukherjee on Forbes India Pathbreakers

In this edition of Forbes India Pathbreakers, Sabyasachi Mukherjee, the czar of fashion tells us how he built his global empire from scratch. In a free-wheeling conversation, Sabyasachi talks about his 'fairytale childhood' and his fascination for Kolkata. He tells Neha Bothra how he stumbled into the world of fashion because he did not want to become a doctor or an engineer, and reminisces about his vertical and almost meteoric rise in an unknown industry. After an initial phase of the struggle, Mukherjee discovered his passion for telling the India story through his clothes. Proud of his humble roots, Mukherjee aspires to build a global luxury house to authentically showcase India's rich heritage of craft and culture. His clients include the crème-de-le-crème of elite society. In the next five years, he aspires to enter new areas and markets to expand his business. Watch the full conversation to find out more about Sabyasachi's life and business philosophies which have helped him become one of India's most successful and loved fashion designers.

I find a lot of value in what he says but I just can't come around to him saying he's a businessman. He's said this in multiple interviews as well. I flinch whenever he refers to his clothes as "products." Sure he has an eye for style but I can't completely respect him as an artist
