The ethnic wear retailer, which sells apparel through multiple-distribution channels, has 465 rented brand outlets, 1,469 large-format stores and 1,522 multi-brand outlets across India.
The rent for these outlets comprise nearly 11 percent of the company's total expenses, Managing Director Anant Daga said. But, “rent is not the only metric to look at business. What we look at is how quickly the assets will pay off.”
The company is looking to leverage all its distribution channels while focusing more on omni-retail that integrates the online and offline routes, Daga said. “There is an opportunity to add more brands—either buy or build.”
