Dr. Noopur Anand, who served as the Principal Investigator for the IndiaSize Project—India’s first-ever National Sizing Survey—shared key insights into the groundbreaking initiative.
“We captured 3D body measurements of 26,324 individuals across India, covering six regions,” Dr. Anand explained. “From this, we statistically analyzed the data and developed 25 standardized size charts—13 for women and 12 for men.”
