H&M’s Delayed Collab With Indian Designer Sabyasachi Debuts
The collection features 70 pieces in Sabyasachi’s style of rich textiles, chintz prints and references to Indian heritage at a range of prices below $135.

Fuelled by wealth from its tech and pharmaceutical sectors, Hyderabad has attracted brands such as Chanel and Michael Kors to a city long dominated by domestic designers.

Affluent members of the Indian diaspora are underserved by fashion retailers, but dedicated e-commerce sites are not a silver bullet for Indian designers aiming to reach them.

Demand for luxury goods is growing in the southern city of Bengaluru, but brands must get to grips with the tech hub’s unique demographic mix to make the most of this boomtown.

Mega-conglomerates Reliance Industries Limited and Aditya Birla Group have invested in more than a dozen Indian designer brands. There is more to the deals than meets the eye.
