ABOUT PROLINE INDIA:

Founded in 1983 by the brothers Rajesh Batra and Rajiv Batra, who identified the gap in the

Indian market for good quality Indian sportswear, Proline was amongst India's first sportswear

brands with quality offerings in T-shirts, sweaters, track pants and tracksuits.

The company established themselves as the number one Indian T-shirt brand of the time.

Proline began as a T shirt brand for men but quickly moved into other product categories like

Jeans, Sweaters and Swimwear and expanded its audience. Coupled with the iconic logo, the

brand Proline has remained a part of consumers’ consciousness till today. The brand heritage

is the greatest asset, brand value and recall has sustained through the years. Now after three

decades Proline has evolved into a brand that doesn’t just produce sportswear but also casual

clothing for different facets of life.
