After education at The Lawrence School, Sanawar, Rajdeep went on to graduate from the National Institute of Fashion Technology, Delhi in 2000. He gained vast exposure and experience with a French fashion house based in Paris, ‘ISHWAR, S.A.’, and trained himself in European embroideries, colors, and silhouettes under the guidance of various commercial French designers. Thereafter he was appointed as the ‘chief designer’ for a New York-based fashion house and designed for the likes of brands such as Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, Lord & Taylor, etc only to give him enough aptitude to launch his own brand label in 2004 for the domestic and the overseas markets. He fused European culture in terms of colors and embroideries, combining the feel of the Orient, the commercial charm of Vintage, and the essence of the generic cuts of his silhouettes that ooze elegance and create a stance for all.

The label Rajdeep Ranawat, launched in Oct ’2004 is synonymous to women with an aura of glamour and charisma. Concentrating on ‘art to wear’, deeply inspired with nature as the foremost mentor, the embellishments and embroideries with the use of exquisite materials in terms of silk and metallic threads, beads, pearls, sequins and SWAROVSKI elements. With silhouettes generic to all sizes, fabrics only pure, prints that are original, embellishments so rich, indeed enough to make a dazzling statement.

Rajdeep Ranawat shared, "One of my favourite collections was titled 'Santorini' after visiting the beautiful Greek island in 2011 only to come up with our Spring Summer 2013 collection which set a benchmark for the Brand immediately."
