The SheepStop Story

SheepStop came about as an effort to change the perception of online shopping in India. After having spent more than seven years in the US, Parag felt that both the online shopping experience as well as the state of customer service in India was average at best. Bhagyashri, on the other hand had always yearned to start somenthing of her own after having graduated from the Indian School of Business, Hyderabad. They met over coffee one fine day and that started not just a new chapter in their life but also a new journey called SheepStop. Both agreed that even the best online shopping platforms available today totally lack the fun element that is so central to an activity like shopping and they vowed to get the "ZING" into online shopping as well as to set new standards of customer service in India. It is these principles which have helped guide SheepStop and it's parent company Stylebuds to it's present form.


Bhagyashri

Bhagyashri Dixit
Founder, CEO

A Graduate in Information Technology and an art enthusiast at heart, Bhagyashri started her career as an ERP consultant with Atos Origin. In 2005, she went to the Indian School of Business, Hyderabad to hone her business skills to complement her creative and technical background. Post MBA, she spent three years as a strategy consultant for Electronic Data Systems and MphasiS. A strong drive for making a change led her to quit this comfort zone and to jumpstart her venture named Stylebuds!


Currently, she handles Business Development and Operations for StyleBuds. She is the lady who actively manages both the customer and supplier ends, creating "Win-Win" situations all the time!


Right from her school days, Bhagyashri had a strong inclination towards design and art. She was awarded the 1st prize at the hands of the Late President of India, Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma for the best literacy campaign poster.


Personally, a highly animated personality and a non-vegetarian freak she enjoys draping herself in different garments and does not believe in the word "impossible".

Parag

Dr. Parag Dixit
Co-founder, Architect

Parag earned his PhD. in Mechanical Engineering and Scientific Computing from University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. This dual PhD and the surname “D”ixit earned him the title ‘Dcube’ from near and dear ones! He did post-doctoral research at the University of California, San Diego for a couple years, but the love for his motherland and a penchant to start something of his own brought him back to India.


Currently, he works with MSC Software Corporation as a Senior Software engineer developing new material models and spends his after office hours contributing towards the building of SheepStop. He loves programming especially when the problem is intellectually stimulating and the results visually appealing. He is responsible for the entire web development at SheepStop and a significant contributor to each and every idea that originates at StyleBuds.


During his engineering days, Parag had bagged the most coveted Firodiya Karandak (the kaleidoscope of youth art forms in Pune) as part of the MIT team for his paintings during a live performance. During the summer vacation of 1997, he along with a group of equally enthusiastic friends had founded ‘Designer cards’, a greeting card company as a hobby. They managed to get quite a few eyeballs with their unique "POP-UP" designs. They grew this business further by expanding to their own brand of t-shirts by the name of El-Nino collections. Having fiddled with art and startups right from his childhood, SheepStop is his precious dream!


Personally, he loves hiking and enjoys adventure sports to the fullest! Track more at his blog

shubhashri feels:
Order received....the message I had wanted was included.....the recipient my husband was elated.....I (the customer) was thrilled as usual (consistent SheepStop experience) Just 2 feedback points: 1) I got a message that the delivery person will ask for a 4 digit pin. Nothing of this sort happened. 2) my son was super upset that his father had jazzy new tshirts, but he didn't have them. So can you plz try and look into having t-shirts for kids included in your collection? Or if you can make it to order for me I will be very happy to buy a few, so that the father-son can twin around. Thank you once again. Regards Shubhashri Singbal Happy SheepStop Customer

rskhusha feels:
My search for best online cloth buy stops at SheepStop. Received my tee shirt today. Its awesome with best cloth material, color and print. Actually I ordered online at both Inkfruit(defected print not as shown on web, itching and cheap cloth material, but good adv,packing delivery and lastly good customer care-but of no use as because of end product) and sheepstop and can now judge who will lead in the future. Although there is minor defect of print (over print of white color on yellow-am not returning you). Believe me swamyatul is correct who sends personalized Thank you card? Would rate 9/10 as you can do much better with web design. Keep rocking.

I was looking for something like that and the design i picked up for my friend was the only one available. now i'm scared my friend shouldn't walk into a guy wearing the same tee ;) Nevertheless, its an amazing job you guys are doing at sheepstop. We always wanted some hassle free shopping like this and i'm sure we'll get to see lots of new designs going forward.

As a couple who moved back to India after having lived in the US for a considerable period of time, one thing that we sorely missed about America was the shopping experience. But thanks to Sheepstop, we now enjoy shopping online in India too. The super soft pure organic cotton tees are a sheer delight to wear. The design and the print is flawless and requires minimal care. Kudos to Bhagyashree and Parag for creating such a unique concept and delivering beyond expectations. You guys have set a high benchmark in terms on quality and service. Our warmest wishes to Sheepstop – proud to be your customer.

The thank your card was really thoughtful and I wish you the very best!

dhanashree feels:
First of all KUDOS to Mr & Mrs Dixit for this wonderful, innovative and easy shopping concept. Now about my experience with SheepStop. It has been more than wonderful. Never before has shopping been so easy. Now buying a tee is just a click away. I am currently in the USA and I have found a lot of gifting ideas on the net, But so far this one has been the best one . It was my cousin's budday and this time I decided to gift a tee rather than some chocolates , flowers or a cake. Trust me this idea rocked. My cousin was pleasantly surprised . Everything right from selecting a tee to making the final payment was quick and hassle free. The delivery was instant. The gift was beautifully packed and the best part was the hand written note which gave my gift a very personal touch, My cousin was impressed with the design , the feel of the shirt . I am definitely buying more tee from sheepstop and this time one for me definitely. Thanks a ton Bhagyashri for a wonderful shopping experience

deepabhosale feels:
I ordered one tee for a gift and it was timely delivered. :) the tee fabric is very soft and comfortable to wear. And good part is that it didn't loose its fitting and color after wash. very nice product and i will surely recommend it to my freinds for online gifting. ~Deepali

ash feels:
Very professionally executed, from delivery to the packaging. Nice design. Tee material is too good, very soft and comfortable to wear. Ashish

teespired feels:
My best online shopping experience ever. The promptness of delivery, material, quality of tee, and overall response simply amazed me. I am happy that finally someone is taking the online shopping business seriously. Also I am so pleasently surprised by unqiue designs that i have made up mind that henceforth tees will only come from "sheepstop". My wife loved it & she has started searching on sheepstop for her favourite tee. I loved the "thank you" note along with the tee which brought a personal touch

I was quiet pleasantly surprised to find out today that, delivery for my T-shirt was made on Saturday. Which is impressive. Purchasing process was smooth and efficient - Jayesh Baheti

pankaj feels:
Shopping at SheepStop was a pleasant experience, I felt as if it's a gift :) My mom was at home to receive the package and she was skeptical about the quality and angry with me to buy a tee that way. Once she opened the pack, she was happy with the t-shirt and inquired about SheepStop. Hope its a testimonial to SheepStop ... cheers :)

raaj feels:
Hey! My sister just loved the gift (total solar eclipse T-shirt). She loved the note, the way it was written, the fabric of T-shirt, The colour everything. It was just perfect fit for her. So she has become a sheepstop fan and publicized it among her friends.

sangs feels:
I placed an order for "Total Eclipse of my heart" design by Vinayak on friday afternoon and to my pleasant surprise I got a prompt delivery of the package by saturday afternoon. The t-shirt is really awesome, incredibly soft and the design looks great!
