Women's Wear Designer

Assistant Womenswear Designer

Function: Apparel Design | Location: New Delhi | Reporting to: Category Lead – Apparel Designer

Step Into the World of Nicobar

Founded in 2016 by Simran Lal and Raul Rai, Nicobar is a modern, mindful, design-led lifestyle brand from India.

'We wanted to create a new Indian sensibility that wasn't necessarily Westernised.'

We're reimagining a contemporary Indian way of living, dressing, and looking at the world—rooted in culture, shaped by design, and guided by intention. At Nicobar, we believe in culture as much as commerce, and that how we build is just as important as what we build.

Our studio is tucked away in Tulsi Farms, Chhatarpur, Delhi. Nestled among trees, seasonal gardens, a citrus grove, and our beloved dogs Nico & Dot, we call it 'the Treehouse.' It earned its name when our architect reworked the blueprint to protect every single tree on the land. It's a space where creativity brims and energy flows.

If you're drawn to thoughtful design, a youthful and nourishing team culture, and the chance to grow a brand with heart—we'd love to hear from you.
