His understanding of the retail business and his learning in this process
“Although, In India, the branded apparel sector is still emerging, but with more and more companies diverting their revenues to the branded kids’ wear sector, the day is not far when branded category will supercede the unorganised sector. Considering the immense business opportunities and potential which the kid’s wear segment offers, various established apparel brands are directing their revenues to this segment. Some international kid’s wear companies too have ventured into the Indian market seeing the prospects it is offering. The increase in foreign investments in the segment helps for the category as a whole which will culminate into higher revenues and more business opportunities.”
