It’s an exciting time for fashion in India because when it comes to the potential for multiplier growth, we’ve barely scratched the surface. This means that the best is yet to be created.
The catalyst for this untapped potential lies in collaboration, innovation, and new partnership ideas. I invite you to join me and the India Fashion community on the 28th and 29th of January 2025 at the Sheraton Grand, Whitefield, Bengaluru, for the India Fashion Forum 2025.
Let’s reimagine our peers as our partners and seize the immense opportunities ahead.
