Westside sets aside ₹2500cr for expansion
To pull in impulsive shoppers, Westside is revamping store layouts and rolling out more fashion-forward products.
The company has set aside ₹2,500 crore (about $260 million) for retail expansion this year.
Plus, they're investing in advanced AI tools so designers can create hundreds of new styles each week (up from just 50), aiming to cut production times for hot items down to a month.
