Urban Factory, a United States-based apparel brand, has entered India independently and aims to open stores in Bengaluru and Hyderabad by the mid of this year.
Madhuri Lakkapragada, founder of Urban Factory, said that all styles that come in India are delayed by a season and unfortunately, fashion comes to India in the end.
She added that they want to address this gap by bringing current customised styles in India.
Last year, India had liberalised norms for foreign direct investment in single-brand retail, allowing brands such as Urban Factory to set up stores in the country.
