Getting married in India following the traditions is expensive. Not just inviting people, but it involves a lot of stuff to buy, right from the attire to jewellery and what not! Before you freak out at the estimation bill of some lakhs, let’s assure you there’s a wedding clothe rental service in India now. 
 <keyword id="51958" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="20" keywordseo="YES">Yes</keyword>, you heard it right. You can take on rent your choicest lehenga and look gorgeous. Founded by <keyword id="2639099" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Shilpa-Bhatia">Shilpa Bhatia</keyword>, an entrepreneur with over 15 years of experience, The Clothing Rental has been the ultimate saviour. Not just gowns and lehengas, there are accessories as well. Even grooms can take on rent everything they want to look dapper on the d-day. And the prices are quite decent starting at Rs 5000 or even lesser. Not just bride or groom, it’s even a grace for numerous celebrities and page three personalities who need to maintain status at red carpet events. This boutique start up began in 2005. <keyword id="6360500" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Shilpa">Shilpa</keyword> who shuttles between Mumbai and <keyword id="6355838" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="New-York">New York</keyword> has to keep herself updated with latest trends to keep the rental wardrobe in vogue. 
 
Many a time it is said that wedding attires are useless as they are never ever used. Well, that’s the thing. You rent it, look good and return. 
So how did it all began? Shilpa credits the “Chowmahalla Palace” in Hyderabad as the motivation behind her store design. Starting out as a young fashion stylist to becoming an innovator- that’s really an achievement. 
 
She is quite democratic in her clientele. “In terms of money, people from both ends of the spectrum, i.e. the super-rich and the moderately or not so well off have come to me for their clothing needs. Fashion – aware people who belong to a cosmopolitan setting and people without any inkling of fashion who come from humble backgrounds have also come to my store,” said Shilpa. 
 
“There are some people who are aware of top fashion brands and their heritage and history, but most people that come aren’t. They are taken by surprise when they come to know about the value of the clothes. People mostly come with an image in mind. Like they would want to get the same type of a clothes that an actor / actress wore in a movie or an ad. Depending on their clientele, my team looks to guide people so that they are satisfied and have a great experience,” added she. 
 
 
 Pricing is figured out on the perceptions of the clients’ likes and dislikes. Fabric, colour and styles impact pricing. The demand among the clients is made by making them aware of the brand value. Reputation and brands do matter, agrees Shilpa. Once she bought a <keyword id="15578" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Halle-Berry">Halle Berry</keyword> worn gown worth Rs 4 lakhs, which hardly had any takers. 
 
So how does she source the clothes? “I have worked in the fashion industry long enough to have a vast network of contacts. I find out about their portfolio, and urge them to provide clothes that I like at reasonable discounts. I also follow brands from around the world, and source directly from them when required,” said she. 
 
Talking about her initial challenges, Shilpa said, clients would come to my store and really savour being in a beautiful environment. They were taken aback slightly when they realized that these über expensive clothes could be afforded on rent at much lower prices. I am trying to change the stereotype about rented clothes by informing the masses that even beautiful and fashionable clothes can be rented.”

The company said that ‘SpiceJet Extra Seats’ is available across the airline’s domestic network at a discounted rate which is dynamic and depends on the ticket price. This move follows its peers IndiGo and <keyword id="2467342" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Vistara">Vistara</keyword>, who allowed customers to book two seats for a single passenger. However, unlike IndiGo and Vistara, the passengers will be available to book extra seats online through the airline’s website and its agent portal. Passengers opting for extra seats will also be entitled to complimentary privilege services such as priority check-in, preferred boarding and bag out service. “While air travel remains the safest mode of transport, we have been constantly thinking on how to make the travel experience even more comfortable and safer. SpiceJet’s Extra Seat feature is a step in that direction,” said Shilpa Bhatia, chief commercial officer, SpiceJet. The second move in a week to lure customers The cash crunched airline already had many hurdles to deal with until the pandemic arrived, making the aviation sector one of the worst-hit. The pessimism around the travel sector and suspension of international flights drowned the air passenger traffic by almost 80%. Although the flights were suspended for just two weeks in March, the company registered a quarterly loss of ₹807.1 crore. And, it is expected to grow bigger for the first quarter of the current financial year— when the domestic flights were shut for more than 50 days, and international flights never began. This is the second attempt by SpiceJet to lure more customers. This comes on the heels of its ‘1+1 offer sale’ which it announced on Monday (August 5) and was withdrawn after <keyword id="6354705" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="directorate-general-of-civil-aviation">Directorate General of Civil Aviation</keyword> (DGCA) raised concerns over it. Earlier this week, SpiceJet announced a five-day “1+1 offer sale” where it was offering one-way base fares starting as low as ₹899, excluding taxes, on its domestic network. Since it did not comply with the government-imposed fare limits, the DGCA asked SpiceJet to stop the sale. The Civil Aviation Ministry had on May 21 placed upper and lower limits on domestic airfares through seven bands, classified on the basis of flight duration, till August 24. Later, it was extended until November 24.

This is valid on more than 100,000 seats (excluding taxes). 
 
"We are known as the airline that has made air travel more affordable for more Indians than ever before, revolutionising the industry and driving record growth in passengers in the process," said Shilpa Bhatia, senior vice president and head of sales and distribution for <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Dont-have-a-confirmed-train-ticket-No-problem-Upgrade-to-Spicejet-Heres-how/articleshow/47586199.cms">SpiceJet</a>. 
 
Under the new discount scheme, single one-way fare between Delhi and Mumbai or Mumbai and Chennai will work out at Rs.1,899 (excluding taxes). 
 
With taxes, the fare on these routes will stand at Rs.2,999 for one-way ticket. Similarly, for Mumbai-Kolkata, the complete fare including taxes stand at Rs.3,799 for one-way. 
 
<a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Why-Jet-isnt-doing-a-Spicejet-with-its-Million-Sale/articleshow/47481224.cms">The airline pointed out that the lowest fare of Rs.799</a> excluding taxes is available on routes such as Delhi-Chandigarh, Mumbai-Goa, Bengaluru-Kochi, Madurai-Chennai, Jammu-Srinagar and Kolkata-Agartala.
