In the July edition of IMAGES Retail, we spotlight some of these leaders who are redefining how brands expand, engage, and evolve.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">The days of expansion being solely about location and size are long behind us. Today’s retail growth is purpose-driven, data-backed, and deeply rooted in consumer insight. Business Heads are aligning with real-time customer behavior, omnichannel opportunities, and fast-changing market dynamics to design blueprints that go beyond square footage. From adopting new-age formats like kiosks and shop-in-shop models to unlocking value in Tier 2 and 3 cities, their strategies reflect a blend of ambition and agility. Technology, too, is not just an enabler; it’s the new foundation. These leaders are harnessing data analytics, AI tools, and seamless offline-online integrations to fuel growth, improve ROI, and build loyalty. Whether it’s using pin-code level insights to decide store locations or deploying AR for immersive in-store experiences, they are pushing boundaries like never before.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">Complementing this feature is Next Stop: Retail; a curated showcase of India’s upcoming retail real estate destinations. As consumption expands and formats diversify, infrastructure must evolve in parallel. This second section dives into the projects poised to become tomorrow’s retail powerhouses—locations that will host the next wave of experiential, techforward, and community-centric retail.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">Together, these stories underline one truth: retail in India is not just growing; it is growing smarter, faster, and more connected than ever. And the road ahead, led by the vision of these business heads and anchored by future-ready retail spaces, looks more promising than ever.</p></div></div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline">

In this July edition of IMAGES Business of Fashion, we spotlight the stories of prominent franchisees across the country as they share their journeys—successes, challenges, and critical insights that define this dynamic business model.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">What becomes evident through their voices is that franchising in India has grown far beyond being a mere route to market, it has become a powerful driver of growth, collaboration, and regional entrepreneurship. From global icons like Levi’s, Adidas, Celio, and Tanishq to nimble Indian brands, franchising has enabled scale while preserving local relevance.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">Franchisors bring brand strength, operational know-how, and marketing frameworks. But the true momentum comes from franchisees who contribute deep-rooted local knowledge, people leadership, and a willingness to invest in long-term brand building. Today’s franchisees are more than just store operators—they are brand custodians, experience creators, and market influencers.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">However, this ecosystem is not without its pressure points. Franchisees increasingly flag concerns around rising rentals, aggressive discounting, and competition from online-first players. They call for greater brand support, market intelligence, and a stronger voice in strategic planning.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">Franchisors, for their part, are responding—with techenabled tools, omnichannel models, and structured training programs. The most resilient partnerships are those grounded in openness, mutual respect, and aligned goals.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">As Indian fashion retail matures, the future of franchising will be shaped by how well brands and partners collaborate, innovate, and navigate the shifting consumer landscape together.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">Ultimately, franchising in India isn’t just about business expansion, it’s about shared ambition, joint resilience, and building success; one relationship at a time.</p></div></div><section class="up-sells upsells products" style=""><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></section>

From AR trials on your phone to livestream demos with real-time checkout, Indian retailers are embracing tools like shoppable videos and 3D stores to engagethe next-gen shopper. But is India ready for this phygital leap? Our story on pages 18-20 dives into the tech, trends, and roadblocks shaping this shift—and why India’s diversity may be its biggest edge in the future of digital retail.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">This wave of digital transformation is also sweeping through the FMCG industry, which is undergoing its most dramatic reinvention in decades.

As modern retail expands and value-conscious consumers rise, private labels have evolved from budget options to strategic powerhouses.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">The cover story in this issue (pages 38-41) spotlights MagSon, Gujarat’s gourmet disruptor making national waves. In one of the most strategic consolidations in India’s premium food and lifestyle retail space, MagSon has acquired the Goa-based Magsons Supercentre for Rs.30 crore in a slump sale deal. The move doesn’t just add a coastal footprint—it elevates MagSon’s business presence to over 41 stores, more than Rs 130 crore in combined revenues, and a direct presence across four states: Gujarat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, and now Goa.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">Shifting to the food service front, the feature on pages 44-46 explores how dessert brands are leveraging franchising to scale swiftly. Dessert franchises are turning indulgence into serious business. For both franchisors and franchisees, the real win lies in crafting memorable moments that deliver not just delight, but a lasting competitive edge.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">Together, these stories capture a retail and food landscape where innovation, agility, and consumer connection are redefiining the rules of the game.</p></div></div><section class="up-sells upsells products" style=""><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></section>

India is now the world’s second-largest producer and consumer of footwear—a feat made possible by strong domestic demand, a youthful demographic, and expanding urban aspirations. With nearly 95% of production consumed domestically, the country is not just manufacturing at scale—it’s evolving its taste.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">The shift is evident: from function to fashion, from basics to brand-led choices. Footwear is no longer just utility—it’s identity. This transformation is being fueled by the rise of a style-savvy, digital-first generation that sees sneakers, sandals, and boots as expressions of personality, ambition, and even sustainability. Accessories like bags and wallets are also following this trajectory—moving beyond practicality to become lifestyle statements.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">Government support through ‘Make in India’, IFLDP, The Startup India Seed Fund Scheme (SISFS) and infrastructure hubs like the Chennai footwear cluster is accelerating this shift. The BIS mandate and innovation in non-leather alternatives ensure global-quality standards while honouring India’s own craftsmanship roots. Brands today must cater to a consumer who wants it all—comfort, design, ethics, and performance. As brands and other homegrown players step up, global attention is also turning toward Indian leather expertise and fashion leadership.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">The road ahead? Personalisation, smart tech, and conscious consumption. Footwear that not only performs but resonates—designed for the gym, the street, and the boardroom. India is not just catching up with global fashion—it’s setting the pace.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">In a world shifting towards value and values, India’s footwear story is one of resilience, reinvention, and runway-ready ambition. The May edition of the IMAGES Business of Fashion mentions it all. The journey has only just begun.</p></div></div><section class="up-sells upsells products" style=""><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></section>

With increasing internet penetration, smartphone adoption, and digital literacy, Indian consumers are more connected than ever, driving a shift from traditional retail to omnichannel experiences. Digital retail allows businesses to reach customers across geographies, personalise offerings, and streamline operations through real-time data and analytics.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">For Indian retailers, digital transformation is no longer optional—it is a necessity. The pandemic accelerated this shift, highlighting the need for robust e-commerce platforms, contactless payments, digital supply chains, and virtual customer engagement tools.

The kick off for a new fiscal cycle is always exciting and target-heavy. And FY 2024 promises to be an especially powerful year- taking off with the largest retail business event India has ever seen.Phygital retail Convention returns for its 2025 edition at the Jio World Convention Centre on May 7-8th.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">Join us at PRC 2025, to experience the real power of retail in India, possibly the world’s most exciting consumer universe!</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">In an era where comfort meets confidence, athleisure has redefined how India dresses today. What began as a niche segment for gym-goers has swiftly evolved into a powerful fashion movement—reshaping wardrobes with pieces that blur the lines between activewear and everyday casualwear. This shift reflects a deeper transformation. As fitness and wellness gain prominence in daily life, Indian consumers are gravitating toward clothing that mirrors their active, health-conscious lifestyles—without compromising on aesthetics.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">The numbers echo the trend. India’s athleisure market hit `60,000 crore in 2024—outpacing forecasts—with a robust 15% year-on-year growth. Global projections suggest the trend is far from peaking, with the international market expected to reach USD 662.56 billion by 2030.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">What’s driving this surge? A booming e-commerce ecosystem, social media influence, and increasing global exposure have made fashion more accessible and inclusive. The April edition of IMAGES Business of Fashion delves into the dynamic world of athleisure and urban casual wear. No longer just a passing trend, athleisure has ȃ rmly established itself as a lifestyle choice. This evolution marks the dawn of a new era in style—one that promises to redefine everyday dressing for years to come.</p></div></div><section class="up-sells upsells products" style=""><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></section>

Just like in the earlier editions of the Report, we’ve gathered loads of data, conducted research, and analyzed everything. Our goal is simple: We want this Report to give you a comprehensive picture of India’s food retail sector. This Report talks about the possibilities in both Food &amp; Grocery and Foodservice sectors, suggesting things that are needed for steady growth. It talks about business chances, possible investments, and points out challenges that needattention.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">Understanding and figuring out any industry is all about having the right information that’s easy to get. I’m happy because the info and research packed into The India Food Report 2024-25 will help everyone really get what’s going on in India’s food retail world. Huge thanks to the leading consultants, think tanks, and experts in India’s diverse food industry who pitched in to bring together this Report. Your help has been priceless, and I’m truly grateful for it.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">So, as you dive into this Report, remember, it’s not just about facts and figures. It’s about getting a closer look at the heartbeat of India’s food retail scene, understanding the trends, and exploring the opportunities that lie ahead.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">What we found in the IMAGES Research for The India Food Report 2024-25 is that Covid 19 really shook things up big time. But, after a bit of a slow-down in 2020-21, guess what? In 2022, things bounced back strong, with a growth rate of 10.9 percent compared to the year before. The market size hit a whopping INR 57,21,593 crore (USD 689.35 billion). With things going well and a cheerful festival season just behind us, we’re hopeful of 2023 being on track to see a big 12.3 percent expansion. That could shoot up the whole food and grocery market in India to a whopping INR 64,25,349 crore (USD 774.14 billion). Looking ahead, we’re picturing a steady growth path with a projected Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 10.9 percent from 2020 to 2023. If things keep rolling like this, we could be looking at a massive size of INR 132.84 billion (USD 1.6 trillion) by the year 2030.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">In this edition of The India Food Report, here’s another bit of good news from IMAGES Research: People’s spending on household stuff, or just regular shopping, hit a whopping INR 1,43,44,336 crore (USD 1,728.23 billion) in 2022. It grew at a cool 11.3 percent from 2012 to 2022. But the years 2020 to 2022 had a bit of a slowdown, with a CAGR of 8.2 percent. That’s because of the pandemic throwing a curveball into how much everyone was buying.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">Even with the pandemic slowing things down, the fact that people kept spending more on household stuff shows that we’ve got a strong base of shoppers. It means, even when times get tough, there’s a real and lasting need for things like food and other stuff.</p></div></div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline">

Perhaps never before has India seen such energy in entrepreneurship and a bold generation of ideators and creators hoping to transform what and how Indians consume. Although only a recent development — under a decade old — the D2C business model certainly received fuel from challenges arising from the Covid-19 pandemic, but the seeds were sown earlier by digitalisation. The digital economy in India today is growing at 2.8x the regular GDP. It was 4.5 per cent of GDP in 2014, it is 12 per cent of GDP today, and it will be a fifth of the GDP by 2026-27. India is already the fastest-growing digital economy in the world, and as we aim for a $1 trillion digital economy target by 2027-28, we can look to our D2C brands as being the flag bearers of this transformation.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">But along with rapid growth also comes the need for knowledge, for checks and balances. As recent years have shown, just market potential and consumer demand are not enough to build smart businesses, however great the ideas may be. And that crucial intelligence is what we are aiming to offer through this important publication, The India D2C Report 2024.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">Via collaborations with key enablers and stakeholders of the D2C ecosystem, including Venture Capital heads, leading D2C entrepreneurs and market analysts, the report puts together crucial insights on brand creation, business viability, operational efficiency and scalable innovation. These narrations and analyses will be invaluable for India’s Consumer Tech universe, which is brimming with talent, guts and vision.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">Driven by purpose and a deep desire for authenticity and change, D2C founders and inventors are leading the charge towards India’s next-generation avatar as a role model of responsible product creation and ethical business practices. These young dreamers and doers are the leaders of tomorrow’s India, and the pillars of what is expected to become a USD 61 billion-plus sector by 2027. This Report is a knowledge vehicle to nurture and enable that future for our new-age entrepreneurs. I hope you will make the most of the intelligence that this book offers.</p></div></div></div></div></div><div class="td-pb-span4 td-main-sidebar" role="complementary" style=""><div class="td-ss-main-sidebar" style="box-sizing: border-box; backface-visibility: hidden; z-index: 1;"><div class="td-g-rec td-g-rec-id-sidebar " style="box-sizing: border-box; text-align: center; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px;"><ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-9354161551837950" data-ad-slot="8257587929" data-ad-status="filled" data-adsbygoogle-status="done" style="box-sizing: border-box; background: white; text-decoration: none; display: inline-block; width: 300px; height: 250px;"><div id="aswift_1_host" style="box-sizing: border-box; border: none; height: 250px; width: 300px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; position: relative; visibility: visible; background-color: transparent; display: inline-block;"><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div></ins></div></div></div>

From being a wardrobe staple for every man to becoming a canvas for innovation and selfexpression, shirts have continually evolved to meet the changing tastes and lifestyles of consumers. Delving into this rich diversity is Shirtopedia, a comprehensive guide that celebrates the multifaceted world of shirts. This second edition dives deep into the fascinating segment of shirts, exploring its historical significance, current trends, and the immense potential it holds for the future.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">The Indian shirt market has witnessed significant fluctuations in recent years, shaped by global events, changing consumer preferences, and economic pressures. Starting at $6.13 billion in 2019, the market experienced steady growth to $6.73 billion in 2020, before dipping to $4.48 billion in 2021 due to the pandemic-induced shift toward casual wear and remote working lifestyles. However, resilience marked its recovery, with the market rebounding to $6.11 billion in 2022 and surging to an impressive $8.13 billion in 2023. This growth underscores the enduring relevance of shirts in the menswear category.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">Shirts are no longer confined to formal wear; they now play a pivotal role in shaping men’s fashion. From trendy casual styles to sophisticated evening looks, shirts have become a key component of the modern man’s wardrobe. Their versatility allows them to effortlessly bridge the gap between functionality and style, making them an essential part of everyday fashion.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">Through this edition of Shirtopedia, we once again aim to explore how the shirt market continues to evolve with innovative designs and retail experiences that captivate customers. Whether it’s through cutting-edge fabrics enhanced by technological advancements or the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in designing, marketing, and personalising shirt offerings, the industry is undergoing a digital transformation that promises to redefine customer engagement. These advancements not only enhance the shopping experience but also push the boundaries of what shirts can represent in the fashion world.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">While the shirt market has made remarkable strides, it also presents an untapped opportunity – the potential for a premium men’s shirt and formal wear brand.

The future of the Indian shirt market is bright, shaped by the perfect blend of tradition and innovation.

<div class="woocommerce-tabs wc-tabs-wrapper" style="box-sizing: border-box; clear: both;"><div class="woocommerce-Tabs-panel woocommerce-Tabs-panel--description panel entry-content wc-tab" id="tab-description" role="tabpanel" style="box-sizing: border-box; counter-reset: footnotes 0; margin: 0px 0px 2em; padding: 0px;"><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">Dear Readers,<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">The fact that the global fashion retail industry is at a transformative shift with sustainability at its core comes as no surprise. As one of the largest contributors to global waste and carbon emissions, the industry bears a unique obligation—and an incredible opportunity—to reshape its future. Brands, retailers and companies at large are committing to designing, producing, and selling clothing in ways that respect the planet and its people. From using eco-friendly materials like organic cotton and recycled polyester to ensuring ethical labor practices across supply chains, sustainability in fashion retail addresses environmental impact and social equity in equal measure.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">Infact, a Technopak study has revealed that the Indian fashion retail industry is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 10% during 2023-2028 and continued consumer shift towards sustainability and corporate adoption of eco-friendly practices are expected to drive this growth.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">However, even moving towards a progressive phase has not been easy for the industry. While it is true that sustainability in fashion retail is no longer a choice but a mandate driven by conscious consumers and the pressing realities of climate change, it is also true that the shift itself comes with a set of obstacles which are challenging to navigate. Limited awareness and education around sustainable practices among consumers, designers, and small-scale producers; infrastructure and technology gaps; labour and ethical issues;regulatory frameworks and scaling challenges for small enterprises all pose hurdles to a smooth transition towards a sustainable fashion framework. Nonetheless, as consumers are waking up to the cause of preserving the planet for future generations and the ‘ethical fashion market’ is gaining popularity, brands and retailers are waking up to the challenge.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">Innovative technologies—focused on recycling, upcycling, and extending product lifecycles—have emerged as a cornerstone, alongside efforts to reduce waste, minimise carbon footprints, and embracing renewable energy. Transparency is also key, with brands prioritising honest sourcing and production to build consumer trust.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">So much has the subject of sustainability been gaining prominence that we at IMAGES Group are hosting an IFF Innovators Club Conclave at our flagship event, India Fashion Forum 2025. A powerful highlight of the conclave is Customer-Centric Sustainability (CCS), a purpose driven platform with a showcase of global value chain partners and their innovations that help improve sustainability of the current offering at retail. From sourcing responsibly to sustainable production techniques, CCS will feature a range of multifaceted conversations at the intersection of fashion, ethics, climate change and culture.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">Keeping this pivotal understanding in mind, IMAGES Group is releasing the third edition of its Sustainability Yearbook. The India Business of Fashion Report 2025 is an insightful and timely coffee table book, which studies the shift in the industry’s role towards creating a more responsible and inclusive future.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">This 21st edition of our annual Business of Fashion Report is a green edition, which in keeping with our theme is printed using Favini Shiro Echo, an environmental paper with 100% recycled fibres – from cover to cover. Shiro Echo paper is CO2 emissions neutralised, and all raw materials are sourced from controlled and certified sources.

Following a grand success and huge positive response on IMAGES India Phygital Index (IPI) 2021, this year we set out on the path to analyse the omnichannel strength and maturity of India even further. We have examined almost 102 retailers encompassing online and in-store retail across fi ve segments. Unlike last year, this year our analysis includes fi ve business parameters: e-commerce share of the business, organisational maturity, omnichannel features, practices, and capabilities, and customer journey seamlessness. Each of these parameters has been broken down further for more in-depth investigation.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">The IPI 2022 brings to the front important benchmark and best practices that can be applied to prioritise and plan for the new normal. The idea of omnichannel retail at present has begun to receive a new meaning owing to the new tech implementations and renewed strategies that are making shopping personalised, seamless, convenient,and experiences more noteworthy. The idea of omnichannel has been a buzzword for months now, but how many retailers have been able to achieve that is a question that we want to ask and answer through the new study put forth here.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">Through this index, we look forward to noticing the changes that have happened within the retail domain and observing the gaps that exist and bringing to the front the technology adaptation and other factors, which have contributed to the omnichannel propagation in retail. From the time we conceptualized the IMAGES India Phygital Index, we have tried to understand the backdrop of omnichannel growth in India and whether it has matured over time or if it is still in a very nascent stage. Through our research and understanding, we intend to measure the omnichannel gap every year through IPI and will continue outlining our fi ndings to note how each sector is reducing the gap to make omnichannel a reality for retail.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin-bottom: 21px;">Through our fi ndings, we understood that customer today is demanding quicker delivery and is looking for faster resolution of returns too. From same-day delivery to ordering online and picking up in-store, ordering online paying for it at the doorstep, and other such convenient propositions emerged as a winner. We also notably understood that loyalty is winning big with the customers today and it is fast-changing the omnichannel landscape. So, we wish to dive deeper into the concept with our fi ndings every year and build the omnichannel growth story in India!</p></div></div></div></div></div>
