Beyond entertaining audiences with her videos and acting projects, Kusha is also making a mark as an entrepreneur with her innerwear and shapewear brand, UnderNeat.The Gurgaon-based startup, co-founded by Kusha and Vimarsh Razdan, has seen an impressive trajectory since its launch in April 2025. Back in June, the brand said it has reached an annual recurring revenue run rate of ₹200 crore and recorded 200% growth within six months of its debut on Myntra, signalling a huge demand for size-inclusive and functional shapewear in the Indian market. The brand is also available through Nykaa, Amazon, Blinkit and its direct-to-consumer website.Underneat also said it has recorded more than 7.86 lakh customer conversations and received over 23,000 verified reviews, while maintaining a customer satisfaction score of 93 percent.“The conversations we had before we even launched told us everything about fit, about frustration, about how consistently the category had let Indian women down.

Six lakh women choosing us in year one isn't just a number; it's a measure of trust we take very seriously,” Kusha said in a statement at that time.As per Vimarsh, crossing the ₹200 crore ARR mark is not just a validation of the company's business model, but also a testament to the immense growth potential of India's innerwear category.
