What Mirza International does

Mirza International Limited (NSE: MIRZAINT; BSE: 526642) is an Indian publicly listed footwear manufacturer and exporter, founded in 1979 in Kanpur and now headquartered in Noida. The company operates a vertically integrated model spanning an in-house tannery (one of the largest in India and the first in North India to receive LWG Gold rating), two design studios with 40 designers producing approximately 5,000 designs per year, and six footwear manufacturing units in Unnao, Noida, Greater Noida and Kashipur with 6.4 million sq. ft. of facilities and 6.4 million pairs annual capacity. CAD/CAM technology links design and manufacturing, supporting a 25-day design-to-market cycle, and SATRA-accredited labs at every unit provide quality control. All products are REACH compliant.

The business generates revenue across four streams: branded footwear and apparel under owned brands (Thomas Crick, Off The Hook London, Oaktrak, REDTAPE) sold through Indian EBOs, MBOs and e-commerce plus international marketplaces (Debenhams, ASOS, Next); white-label B2B manufacturing for international footwear brands; export of finished leather; and customised leather for the automotive and furniture sectors. In March 2026, Tauseef Mirza (Managing Director) acquired 100% of Solethreads, a Gurugram-based D2C casual footwear brand with ~INR 6 crore monthly run rate and 600 MBOs, marking the company's first move into the youth semi-premium segment.

The customer base is bifurcated: B2B international footwear brands and leather buyers on one side, and B2C consumers in India and the UK/EU/US niche markets on the other. Distribution combines 200+ Exclusive Brand Outlets, 830+ Multi-Brand Outlets and chain stores, shop-in-shops with Shoppers Stop, Lifestyle, Reliance Retail, Central and Regal Shoe, plus an own e-commerce division supported by warehouses in Mumbai and Bengaluru. Most recent annual revenue disclosure is 602.72 (INR crores) for FY 2023-24, and Q3 FY 2025-26 (quarter ending December 2025) reported Rs 118.21 crore sales against a Rs 7.31 crore net loss, signalling margin pressure even as volumes stabilise.
