Abhishek Gupta
Started by Abhishek Gupta, Kamuk Life aims to disrupt the market of erotic lingerie with their diversified range of products. The idea behind getting products cleaned through ozone had stroked long back when the seed of Kamuk Life was sown, even before the corona pandemic. With increasing demand for healthy and hygienic life, Kamuk Life plans to capture the market with its Patented Ozone Cleaning Technology. All the products are put in a cleaning chamber which has UV Light and ozone gas, where the ozone sticks to the bacteria, viruses or other contaminants and foul smell that got onto the fabric during the manufacturing and dyeing process. Here, all the unwanted contaminants get eliminated and the ozone is oxidized into air. The entire cleaning process leaves the products bacteria-virus free and odour free too. Kamuk Life plans to become a trustable and reliable brand in the intimate Lingerie section. The focus is also on introducing a great range of BDSM kits and other new lingerie and costumes.
