New on YouTube: Winning Fashion eCommerce with Sustainability & Trust | Bhavishya Ramchander from Reloom

Bhavishya Ramchander is the CEO at Reloom, a platform where conscious consumers meet verified, sustainable fashion brands. Founded in 2025 they’ve been featured in Forbes, Business Insider, Vogue Europe and at the Drapers Conscious Fashion Summit.

Vishy shares what today’s fashion consumers really want when it comes to sustainability—and why good intentions alone aren’t translating into purchases. She breaks down the key barriers holding shoppers back, and reveals how brands can turn transparency, data, and circular models into real commercial advantage.

  • Why shoppers say they want sustainable fashion—but still buy fast fashion 👀

  • The 2 biggest barriers killing sustainable sales (and how to fix them)

  • How adding the right data to product pages can boost conversions 📈

  • Why sustainability should be treated like a product feature—not just marketing

  • The resale opportunity most fashion brands are still missing ♻️

  • How upcoming regulations could become your biggest competitive advantage 🚀

Speed up your reporting:

Your next campaign brief writes itself.

Most marketing teams spend Monday morning pulling numbers. Viktor spends it posting them. Cross-platform brief in #growth before the first standup. Spend anomalies flagged before they compound.

Your marketing team stops reporting and starts deciding.
