Harshita Motaparthi

Co-Founder & CEO, The Mile Collective

Harshita is the visionary co-founder and CEO behind Mile Collective, the brand redefining what it means to dress, move, and live as a modern Indian woman. Born on August 1st, 1997, in Hyderabad, Harshita’s entrepreneurial journey is a testament to audacity and insight; a path carved not by convention, but by a restless curiosity and a fierce drive to build for women who demand more from life, and their wardrobes.

The Ambition that Changed Her Path

While pursuing a law degree at Jindal Global University, Harshita soon realised her ambitions surpassed tradition. Drawn
to original creation, she entered the startup world, learning marketing and business development at Old Madras Baking
Company and Studio 318. These roles gave her insight into brand-building, storytelling, and shifting consumer desires.

The Spark Called Mile

The spark for Mile came from a personal place. Facing health challenges, Harshita embraced fitness as her lifeline. In those moments, she saw how apparel shaped self-belief and performance. Yet, she found the Indian market lacked activewear that celebrated women’s bodies. Solving her own need, she saw a silent epidemic: millions of women settling for less every day. Harshita resolved to change that, one piece at a time.

Mile Collective for Women on the Move

Here for all the big and small wins, and the sweet and sour moments in your life. Mile Collective is set to launch, shaping a thoughtful vision for functional fashion designed for women on the move. Today, Harshita leads product, content, and marketing, ensuring that each creation is not just functional but also an emblem of effortless confidence and modern style.

Harshita Beyond the Boardroom

Beyond the boardroom, Harshita recharges with sunrise workouts, a daily ritual fuelling her creativity and clarity. Her passion for discovery and movement continually inspires Mile’s mission: empowering women in perpetual motion.

Every experience and challenge sharpens her vision, a brand that boldly encourages women to expect more from their clothes and themselves.
