Indian Designer Brands need Technology and Business Management

“ The one key reason why designers in India haven’t been able to
scale up is because they lack a CEO, or business head, who can

manage their creativity and make it commercially viable

- Arun Gupta, President, Future Ventures, which owned a 22.86% stake in Anita Dongre Designs in 2012
(Note: General Atlantic invested in House of Anita Dongre in 2013 making it the first fashion
house in India to be invested in by a leading global growth investment firm)

UNORGANISED MARKET LACK OF TECHNOLOGY LIMITED OUTREACH


The Indian Premium Fashion Technology adoption and omni-channel Brand Marketing is currently limited to
Industry is a highly fragmented and business model can better leverage content and social media platforms and
unorganized market with nobody data analytics to respond faster to lacks usage of performance marketing
owning more than 1% market share moving trends and consumer behavior especially for global expansion
