National, 11th March 2022: The Souled Store, India’s most popular casual wear and pop-culture apparel brand is set to welcome aboard Sara Ali Khan as an equity partner. The rising new-gen starlet invests an undisclosed amount in the brand, giving The Souled Store a significant investment push and boosting the brand’s celebrity star power.
Given The Souled Store’s massive popularity, growing brand equity, and Sara’s love for all things pop culture, the collaboration is a definite win.

Commenting on the partnership, Sara Ali Khan, said, “I am delighted to partner with The Souled Store. In a short span of time, the brand has carved a niche for itself in the casual wear space.
