KEYNOTE – HOW DIGITAL IS CHANGING THE BRAND CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP
by Jaydeep Shetty, Consulting Partner, GreenHonchos

12.40 pm – 12.55 pm
TRANSFORMING RETAIL: BUILDING THE GCC’S ‘FIRST PHYGITAL STORE’
Imagine a storefront without any products on display. Does that have you intrigued! Is it
reminiscent of a TESLA where the car’s whole steering and navigation is replaced by the
touchpad of a Tab.
Today’s smart consumers vie for smart retail brands and future-smart places to experience
them. An enterprising next-gen entrepreneur has taken it to the next level by
opening the Gulf Cooperative Council’s first-ever phygital store in Dubai.
Truly reflective of the future – see how this hybrid experience store is the cutting-edge of
retail, offering consumers an integrated omnichannel experience with the benefits of both
online and in-store shopping. They had to merge someday, no?
How has been the journey and key takeaways? How have customers reacted so far? How
will this shape the path of hi-tech-enabled stores, and more immersive technologies coming
into play?
All the way from Dubai, here’s Dharmin Ved, CEO, 6thStreet.com
12.55 pm - 01.10 pm

DESIGN FOR ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
ACCELERATING WASTE REDUCTION FOR RETAILERS, BRANDS & MANUFACTURERS
Having worked in the fashion and lifestyle retail from fibre to retail, we realise that one out of every two products made in the industry,
consumers do not want. Over 50% of products made are sold on discounts and close to a third across the entire value chain goes to landfills.
Further, there is an economic wastage of over USD 600 B per annum. Are we not all responsible for some of these landfills during our journeys
in the industry working with global brands and retailers. The amount of wastage and landfill is REAL.
Sadly, fashion is amongst the top 3 in carbon footprint along with oil and food. Not only that the profitability of the industry in barely single
digits. We have a huge challenge on our hand from both economic and environmental sustainability. How do we take on this challenge and
how cutting-edge technology can help with a paradigm shift in our thinking process… Keeping "Consumer at the Centre"
While there is a lot of initiative around sustainability in the material, reuse space (which is important), less is talked about avoiding waste in its
first place. This is the biggest elephant in the room.

BRANDS WITH PURPOSE: TIME TO WALK THE TALK

Worldwide, young consumers are reacting strongly to how brands respond to relevant
social challenges and how they act upon them. In a market such as India — with 70%
of the populace under the age of 40 — fashion purchases will be increasingly
influenced by what brands stand for — the commitments they make to the well-being
of societies, communities, and the environment. Going forward, fashion brands and
companies will be expected to play much more meaningful roles than being just
commercial entities. But purpose and fashion haven’t always been complimentary.
While there are many opportunities untapped, there are also challenges in infusing a
brand identity with a measurable cause and impact.

How can fashion brands identify a cause or purpose that is relatable to its ethos?
Are fashion businesses in India open to being more accountable to the expectations
of next-generation consumers?
Being a ‘brand with purpose’ offers excellent marketing material, but are there realistic
spin-offs in terms of business performance and customer retention?

Keynote : Oliver Tan, Chief Executive Officer, ViSenze
Fashion shopping behaviors today are more dynamically driven than before, increasingly influenced by fashion trends on social media and their content
creators. Many fashion retailers struggle with the keyword limitations of their product search engines when search queries consistently fail to show product
results that reflect shoppers’ intent. Discover how smart AI with multi-search, discovery, and personalization can better engage high-intent customers,
create immersive discovery experiences, and drive higher conversions. Hear insights on how innovative brands are creating new discovery experiences for
their shoppers.

From the arrival of Louis Vuitton in India, back in 2002, India’s luxury
goods market has magnified many times over, being valued at USD
8.5 billion in 2022, as per Euromonitor. But what is Luxury in today’s
context? The truth is that luxury today is more about than just
products that scream privilege. There is a rising attachment to
qualities such as authentic, artisanal, heritage, flawlessness in
quality, and increasingly, sustainability.
Concurrently, driven the pandemic-induced retail disruptions, luxury
eCommerce is creating new sets of luxury consumers in India,
adding to the usual suspects — HNIs. More and more millennials are
being drawn by high-end youthful brands, with many saving up to
get that ONE statement piece every few months. Luxury consumers
are also popping up in Tier 1 and II towns, with limited access to
uxury goods driving them towards eLuxury, creating new
opportunities for Tony brands. Approx. 25% sales at The Collective,
ABFRL's super-premium lifestyle retail chain, comes from
eCommerce. Over 50% of demand for luxury goods on The
Collective’s e-commerce portal comes from cities where there are
no physical stores. Ajio Luxe, which has 248 brands (120 international,
128 Indian) currently averages nearly a million sessions a day with
more than a 1000 daily orders.
Talking points
1. Luxury fashion houses have major opportunities in sustainability,
not only to lead change, but to use it as a growth driver. They must
be involved in the product lifecycle, including offering repair,
upcycling and recycling old products and materials, and facilitating
product traceability and authentication. How is the industry handling
this evolution?
2. Unlike mass fashion brands, luxury brands communicate largely
about their product, collections, and not so much about the
company. There is a need for companies to focus attention on their
sourcing, manufacturing or environmental moves, as a means to
communicate more meaningfully with new-age consumers.
3. How do luxury brands expand their market? The resale channel —
already a global movement — can lower bring younger consumers
into the brand universe via lower prices and create brand loyalty. But
how to balance market expansion with the risk of dilution in novelty
and exclusivity? Can the resale channel — using tech such as
blockchain, helping brands to track every transaction and generate
commissions — become an alternative sales channel in India?
4. What is the opportunity for luxury retail in Tier I, 11 and beyond
India? How can luxury be more accessible without brand dilution?
What are the opportunities being uncovered by new-age high-end
brands

OMNICHANNEL UNIFIED RETAIL: Beyond Technology, Channels & Jargon to Delivering Scalable + Profitable + Sticky Customer Journeys

Sometime in the near future, retailers will no longer be categorized as offline/online/D2C/omnichannel. They will be categorized based on on their
resilience, customer relevance and profitability. Foreshadowing this channel-agnostic consumption universe, omnichannel unified retail is the new
normal for retailers (jargon intended). It is no longer a nice-to-have but rather an ante to build loyalty with the post-pandemic consumer. While
some retailers are struggling to nail the omnichannel game, the best-in-class ones are now tackling challenges beyond technology architectures,
channel activations, and buzzwords with a focus on the real job to be done: getting customers what they want, when they want it (rinse,
repeat). While the atomic unit of retail still remains the often elusive sticky customer journey, brands & retailers are re-thinking their omnichannel
operations to balance scale & profitability while delivering sticky customer journeys. Join us as we deep dive into the insider stories of leading fashion
leaders that are staying true to the job to be done and evolving their unified commerce roadmaps for the not-so-distant future.
