The Khadim's brand grew out of a footwear trading business based in Kolkata and gradually expanded into manufacturing and organised retail. The corporate entity, Khadim India Limited, develops the brand's product lines, manages its retail rollout and supplies third-party customers through a separate distribution business that markets footwear under additional sub-brands.
The company operates two principal business verticals:
Khadim's stores stock a mix of in-house manufactured and outsourced products spanning casual, formal, sports, ethnic and school footwear. The company sources from its own manufacturing facilities in West Bengal as well as from third-party vendors in Indian footwear hubs such as Agra and Bahadurgarh, and also imports finished goods. In addition to physical retail, products are sold through the company's e-commerce channel and major online marketplaces.
Khadim India Limited became a publicly listed company following an initial public offering, after which its shares were listed on the BSE and the National Stock Exchange of India. The IPO included a fresh issue of equity along with an offer for sale by existing shareholders.
Khadim's is regarded as one of the leading organised footwear retail chains in India by store count, especially in the eastern region, where it competes with both national chains and unorganised local retailers. Its dual model of retail and wholesale distribution allows the brand to address multiple price segments of the Indian footwear market.
