In 1987 Mahesh, Ajay and Sharad Amalean introduced
lingerie manufacturing to South Asia and there began the
MAS legacy. What seemed as venturing down a most un-
conventional path has resulted in MAS being at the fore-
front of taking the art of lingerie manufacturing to the
world. “4”

lifestyle.It is a manufacturer of intimate apparel,
sportswear, performance wear, swimwear and provides
IT solutions to the apparel and footwear industry.MAS
