A Mother's Promise to Every Parent in India

Every great brand begins with a story. Ours begins with a mother, a stethoscope, and a pair of shoes that just didn't feel right.

Meet Dr. Simran Mann

Dr. Simran Mann spent years as a dentist — caring for patients, paying attention to the smallest details, and understanding that comfort is never something you should compromise on. But it was her role as a mother of two that truly changed everything.

Like every parent, she wanted the best for her children. And like every parent, she found herself frustrated — searching for kids' footwear that was genuinely comfortable, lightweight, and built for the way little ones actually move. Shoes that wouldn't pinch, wouldn't weigh tiny feet down, and wouldn't sacrifice quality for a cute design.

She couldn't find exactly what she was looking for. So she decided to make it herself.

From Kazarmax to Hopits — A Brand Born from Love

In 2017, Dr. Simran co-founded Kazarmax, laying the foundation for what would become a homegrown Indian kids' footwear movement. With every step forward, the vision grew clearer: India's children deserved footwear designed specifically for them — not adapted from adult styles, not mass-produced overseas, but thoughtfully crafted right here at home.

And so, Hopits was born. A brand that carries a mother's promise to parents across India: that every pair of shoes your child wears will be made with care, built for comfort, and designed to let little feet explore the world freely.

Handmade in India, with Heart

Every single Hopits shoe is individually handmade in our family-owned factory in Gurugram, Haryana. Not mass-produced on a conveyor belt. Not outsourced. Made by skilled hands, in India, for Indian kids.

We believe that when you put on a pair of Hopits, you should feel the difference — in the softness of the materials, the lightness on little feet, and the care that went into every stitch. That's what handmade means to us.

Our Promise to You

At Hopits, we're guided by three things:

• Comfort first. Kids' feet are still growing. Every design decision we make starts with how it will feel on your child's foot.
• Lightweight & innovative. We use materials and construction techniques that keep shoes light, flexible, and fun to wear — because kids shouldn't even notice they have shoes on.
• Made in India, with pride. Supporting local craftsmanship isn't just good business — it's the right thing to do. Every Hopits purchase supports our artisans and their families in Gurugram.

As Seen In

Our story has been featured in The Tribune, NewsX, and other leading media outlets — because we believe India's homegrown brands deserve to be celebrated.
