Headquartered in Bangalore, Trendin.com went live on 18 March 2013,[8] with a founding team of six members.[9] It currently employs 100 people.[10]

In 2015, Aditya Birla Group de-merged the Madura Fashion (the branded apparel retailing division) and Madura Lifestyle (luxury branded apparel retailing division) from Aditya Birla Nuvo Limited (ABNL) and amalgamate them with Pantaloons.[11]

In 2016, Aditya Birla confirmed that the online retail platform will be spun off into separate portals, and it plans to have separate ecommerce websites for its five labels — Louis Philippe, Allen Solly, Van Heusen, Peter England and People.[12]
