cent of the overall luxury market estimated at over $15 billion but its growing
faster than other segments and is also more profitable.“India has become more
fashion and brand-driven in the last 10 years. Parents are now settled on branded
clothing and they want a similar thing for their kids. Interestingly, in some way
kids are also representative of how upwardly mobile the parents are. And parents
