About Us – The Big Wig

For over a century, our family has been dedicated to one mission: helping people look and feel their best through premium quality hair wigs and patches. What began as a humble business in 1918 has grown into India's trusted e-commerce destination for human hair wigs — The Big Wig.

Our Legacy: Three Generations, One Passion

Generation 1 – Akter & Co (Est. 1918)

Our journey began over 100 years ago when our great-grandfather founded Akter & Co — one of India's earliest wig and hair replacement businesses. Built on craftsmanship, trust, and a deep understanding of hair, Akter & Co laid the foundation for everything we stand for today. At a time when hair replacement was a niche craft, our great-grandfather pioneered the art of natural-looking wigs for Indian customers.

Generation 2 – Naini Wig House

As the business grew and evolved, our father carried the torch forward and renamed the venture Naini Wig House. Under his leadership, the business expanded its product range, deepened its expertise in human hair, and built lasting relationships with customers across the region. Naini Wig House became a trusted name for those seeking quality, comfort, and discretion — especially for medical hair loss needs.

Generation 3 – The Big Wig (Present)

When we joined the family business, we saw an opportunity to bring this century-old expertise to every corner of India. We rebranded as The Big Wig and took the business online — making premium human hair wigs, cancer patient wigs, hair patches for men, and wig accessories accessible to customers nationwide with fast doorstep delivery.
