The Bear House, a Bengaluru-based premium menswear brand, reported a revenue of ₹270 crore in FY26, more than doubling its FY25 figure of ₹130 crore. The brand’s net profit surged fivefold to ₹16 crore, up from ₹3.7 crore the previous year, cofounder Harsh Somaiya told inc42.com. Founded in 2019, the company crossed the ₹100 crore revenue mark and became profitable after nearly six years in operation.
The Bear House’s growth trajectory has been steady, with revenue rising from ₹18 crore in FY22 to ₹54 crore in FY23, and then to ₹96 crore in FY24. The founders deliberately avoided a capital-intensive model, focusing on customer retention over aggressive acquisition, and delayed offline expansion until it was economically viable. This asset-light approach included using stores and quick commerce channels effectively, which helped maintain profitability from the start.
The brand’s strategy contrasts with many heavily funded competitors in India’s menswear market that prioritize rapid growth through discounts and heavy customer acquisition spending. The Bear House aims to position itself alongside established menswear brands such as Louis Philippe, Van Heusen, Blackberrys, and Arrow by emphasizing sustainable growth and profitability. Its approach has attracted significant investor interest, reflecting confidence in its business model.
The Bear House’s financial results for FY26 highlight its growing market presence and operational efficiency. The company’s revenue and profit figures were confirmed by cofounder Harsh Somaiya in an interview with inc42.com, marking a milestone in its journey since inception in 2019.
