In a landmark initiative aimed at transforming grassroots talent into global fashion entrepreneurs, IMS Noida and Medusa Fashion House, founded by Sonal Jindal, have jointly launched SPARC to MUT—India’s first scalable and outcome-driven fashion entrepreneurship program. Announced on July 25, 2025, the program is designed to bridge academic learning with international fashion exposure, offering a structured pathway from classroom to global runway.

Participants will collaborate with government-recognized artisans, engage in sustainable fashion practices, and gain access to global platforms such as London Fashion Week.
The initiative is powered by IMS Noida’s academic infrastructure and Medusa’s international fashion network. “This collaboration is a dream aligned—blending academic excellence with industry insight to empower grassroots talent and turn fashion dreams into global reality,” said Sonal Jindal.
