Karan did his schooling from a school from Jalandhar, Punjab and later he moved to Delhi and studied fashion designing course from the leading fashion institute of India - National Institute of Fashion Technology, New Delhi. Despite his father having a flourishing business, Karan was not inclined to join the family business and wanted to set up his own venture. After completing his four year course from Delhi, he shifted to Mumbai to start his fashion designing career.
