Big Stack – a premium lifestyle poker apparel brand retailing digitally.

Being passionate about the game of Poker, we wanted to back up the poker community in India because we felt that not a lot of people respect the game. Many people associate poker with gambling, but in reality, poker is an application of skills such as math, psychology, and memory.

By the time I thought of starting an online poker portal for people to visit and play poker, there were many big companies making that happen already. So, I thought of doing poker differently. Seeing the ambiguity in the legal structure in India for poker, Sunny and I thought of going online with poker gear that would allow poker players and poker enthusiasts to embrace their passion.

My passion for Poker inspired me to start a business with a purpose of backing the poker community and promoting poker as a game of skill. I would like the world to know that this game involves psychology, math, and memory contrary to the belief that Poker is a chance game.

For me, every day is a new hurdle as my business not only involves designing, manufacturing and selling stylish clothes, but it also involves changing the perception of the people towards the game of Poker. My passion for the game is immense and I learn a new lesson every day. The game has taught me not to give all in and play till the end, hence I am applying the same rule to growing my brand.

Being an avid sportsperson and a fashion enthusiast with a passion for the game of poker, I, along with my brother, Sunny Kochar conceptualized the idea behind Big Stack and bootstrapped it with an intention to provide uber-cool poker-inspired merchandise to those who appreciate individuality and uniqueness.
