Company: lululemon
Location: Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
Who we are:
lululemon’s purpose – to elevate human potential by helping people feel their best – is as dynamic as the company’s history and current momentum.
Founded in Vancouver in 1998 with the intent of bringing technical athletic fabrics to yoga, lululemon’s first office was a product design studio by day turned yoga studio at night. What was then a very practical solution to paying the rent has ultimately come to define what differentiates lululemon. While lululemon is arguably credited with creating the athleisure wear category, what has made the company wildly successful has been its steadfast focus on empowering its stores to become community hubs for lululemon’s consumers (Guests) to live the Sweat life together, as well participate in lululemon sweaty activities.
