Ever wondered who’s the face behind those bold graphics and statement tees you’ve been seeing everywhere? No, it’s not just another fashion label — it’s a rebellion in cotton, led by a guy who’s been hustling since his college days. Meet Akash Sharma — the mind, muscle, and madness behind The Chhapai.
The Beginning:
Before “The Chhapai” became a name that started echoing in fashion convos, Akash’s journey was raw, real, and honestly… pretty relatable. A developer by degree and an entrepreneur by DNA, Akash launched his first venture in 2018 — an e-comm brand selling mobile covers. It kicked off well, but like many stories of our time, the pandemic threw a curveball. That chapter closed, but the hustle didn’t.
The Why Behind The Chhapai:
The name wasn’t random. “Chhapai” means “print” — but for Akash, it meant expression. It meant identity. But a tiny hiccup? “Chhapai” was already taken. So he added a “The.” Simple, smart, and instantly brandable.
The Chhapai isn’t just merch. It’s a statement. It’s that voice inside every misfit, rebel, dreamer, and creator. And Akash? He’s the guy handing over the mic.
So Who Really is Akash Sharma?
He’s not your typical startup dude with a pitch deck and VC funding dreams. He’s that guy who figured out how to turn internet hustle into offline impact. He codes. He designs. He packs orders. He writes blog posts. And yes, he listens — to every comment, every review, and every DM.
The Mission:
To make fashion more expressive. To make streetwear feel personal. And to build not just a brand, but a family.
And the journey?
Still just getting started. Follow the story. Wear the vibe. Welcome to The Chhapai.
