Our founders

MCR's footsteps

MCR traces its origins back to the early nineties when two brothers set out with a grand vision of building a successful enterprise. Despite its humble beginnings in 1995, the combined experience and industry knowledge of our founders M.C. Robin and M.C. Rixon has led to the realisation of this immense success. They are living examples of how passion can be turned into a sustainable business idea.

All the big success stories have a strong driving force behind them. For MCR it was continuous innovation. It started with the wrinkle-free white dhotis and linen shirts which truly established MCR as a household name. The true genius was the simplicity and ease with which cherished tradition was combined with contemporary style and fashion.

The flame of innovation

Growing together

The flame of innovation

Initial success did not quell the flame of passion and innovation. In fact, it fuelled it further, and MCR went on to diversify into ground-breaking ranges such as women's fancy sarees, salwars, kurthis, leggings and kids wear.

MCR also launched specialist ranges that remain our niche collections to this day: the Onam festival collections, Kerala traditional sarees and the Vivaha wedding collection, along with set mundu and apparel for Vishu.

Thanks to the joint effort of the management and our staff, we have achieved a permanent place in the hearts of our employees while positively impacting their lives and lifestyle.
