Growth

Monte Carlo expects to achieve a compound annual growth rate of 20% in the coming three years thanks to retail
expansion, as the apparel brand reaps the benefits of India’s increasingly "organised" apparel market.

The brand, founded in 1984, reported a 21% year-on-year revenue increase in the July to September quarter. Sales
totalled Rs 157 crore, compared to Rs 130 crore during the same time period a year ago. The brand also closed down
six stores that were not making a profit during the quarter. Monte Carlo, also took valuable steps to expand its retail
stores on a large scale in 2020.
Eliminate Competition

Rather than getting into the apparel and textile sector separately, acquiring a well-known brand like Monte Carle will
eliminate a major amount of competition and secondly, taking on Monte Carlo would add to the company’s value
and brand image as well.
