Clothes Don’t taketh The Man (CDMTM) is a life-changing program founded by Kal Kalim, aimed at helping young men in our communities become better versions of themselves. The program integrates elements of fashion and style with personal development and education to create a unique and dynamic learning experience.

CDMTM has completed two successful seasons since its launch in India during the pandemic, with the third edition coming up this year. The program is hybrid in nature, with most of the learning taking place online through interactive sessions with mentors who are experts from various fields.

The finalists are carefully selected after a rigorous screening process that involves thousands of applications and multiple rounds of auditions. CDMTM aims to create respectful, kind, successful and inspiring men who can make positive contributions to their communities.

Through CDMTM, Kal Kalim is enabling & supporting a community of young men who are empowered and inspired to be the best version of themselves. The program’s focus on personal development, combined with its integration of fashion and style, makes it a unique and impactful experience.

The program’s unique blend of education, personal development, fashion, and style is inspiring and impactful, empowering young men to become their best selves and make a positive impact in the world around them.

The CDMTM Program 2020 & 2022 was conceived and created in association with Derby Men, a responsible menswear brand headquartered in Chennai, India.
