Reliance Retail is expanding its business in B2B textiles

TheIndiaSaga Team |

Reliance Retail, the biggest apparel retailer in the nation, is expanding the supply of apparel and fashion items to independent retailers and building a unique line of branded goods specifically for this business-to-business initiative.

According to two senior industry executives aware of the development, the company has already introduced more than 50 of these exclusive brands. As part of its most recent plan to grow the fashion business, it will soon increase the number by two to three times. This is because expanding outside of its stores offers much higher growth opportunities.

The brands it has so far introduced are Jivers and Silkfeet for footwear, Xlerate for athleisure and footwear, Feet Up for women’s footwear; Dhuni by Avaasa for Indian wear, Riva for womenswear; John Player Select for menswear; Kidlyboo for kidswear; and Altair for jerseys.

Reliance Retail will distribute these brands to independent retailers that are a part of its apparel distribution network in all markets, including rural ones. According to one of the executives, the business is operating a pilot program under the Ajio Business name that will be expanded by the spring or summer of the following year.

“Reliance will introduce its own fashion and apparel brands in the value and mid-premium range to be sold through thousands of independent retailers. These brands will span categories like Western wear, Indian wear, innerwear, lingerie, costume jewelry, footwear, and fashion accessories. The executive stated that the next focus area will be organizing the disorganized.

In five years, the other executive predicted, the B2B apparel market will generate more revenue than Reliance Retail’s apparel retail outlets. He claimed there is a greater chance to serve than just expanding through his stores because 80% of the Indian apparel retail market is unorganized.

Reliance would like to support the textile industry, which creates many jobs, by ensuring small clothing retailers can provide a variety. Reliance will build them a backend so they can display catalogs and conduct sales as well,” he stated.

Through Ajio Business, Reliance also distributes other well-known clothing and fashion brands. Campus, Khadim’s, Liberty, Biba, Globaldesi, Lotto, and Adidas are a few of these.

With more than 4,000 locations selling various brands, Reliance Retail is the biggest clothing retailer in the nation. With more than 2,600 locations, its Trends brand is the most prominent fashion retail chain. It recently debuted new formats at department stores Yousta and Centro, such as Azorte, which specializes in high street and youth-oriented fashion.

“Over the next few years, the company plans to grow the newer formats by 50% annually, while Trends stores will expand by 10-15%.” The second executive stated, “Organized retail is growing at 18–20% while the apparel market is growing at 11%. Reliance, the biggest retailer in the nation, leads the market in grocery, mobile phone, and consumer electronics retailing.

Boycott Zara: Brand Under Fire for Controversial Ad Campaign

Boycott Zara: Brand Under Fire for Controversial Ad Campaign

Boycott Zara: The fashion giant Zara has been involved in controversy with its latest ad campaign, “The Jacket,” in an immediate and unexpected turn of events. Calls for a boycott and dissatisfaction have been generated by the campaign, which has been accused of “mocking” the recent destruction in Gaza.

The campaign’s photography, which shows models standing amid destroyed ruins and is bizarrely similar to Gaza’s war-torn environment, is the source of criticism. On social media, people quickly compared and accused Zara of being insensitive and profiting from sadness. The hashtag #BoycottZara went viral on social media platforms, receiving criticism and disrespect for the brand.

In response to the criticism, Zara has recently stated that the campaign was planned months before the current crisis and has nothing to do with what is happening in Gaza. Critics, who are still sceptical and insist on responsibility, have yet to be satisfied by their answer. This story demonstrates the growing power brands have in today’s social media landscape. With greater knowledge and self-assurance than before, customers are holding businesses responsible for their deeds and expecting moral behaviour from them. Zara’s answer seems insufficient in this situation because it needs to deal with the fundamental issues of cultural sensitivity and respect.

Zara’s boycott effort serves as a sobering reminder of how powerful public opinion is in the digital era. Thanks to their ability to instantly share information and mobilise support, customers have become a powerful force that can influence a company’s reputation and conduct. It will be challenging for Zara to win back the public’s trust. By being proactive in addressing the concerns brought up, cultural sensitivity, and upholding honest and open communication, Zara may settle the situation and fix its reputation.

It is unclear, though, what the future impact of this ad campaign debate will be. Whether or not customers decide to forgive Zara in the end or altogether reject the brand, this story should serve as a lesson for all businesses doing business internationally. In the era of social media, cultural sensitivity and ethical considerations are essential for a company to thrive and are no longer optional.

Kinetic Green plans to raise $30–40 million

sachin |

Kinetic Green, According to Sulajja Firodia Motwani, founder, and CEO of Kinetic Group, the company aims to raise $30–40 million (about Rs 249–332 crore) to expand its operations by constructing a new manufacturing plant, introducing new e-two-wheelers, and reaching the one million unit milestone within the next five years. 

With the Zulu e-scooter, which costs Rs 94,990, the company debuted in the high-speed e-two-wheeler market on Monday. Additionally, Kinetic intends to revive the once-well-known Luna brand in an electrified form for the upcoming year.

In addition, Zulu offers a subscription plan that reduces the device’s purchase price to Rs 69,000. According to Motwani, the company is ready for the possibility that the government may further reduce or do away with the subsidy program, which would lead to a 25% rise in electric two-wheelers relative to their ICE counterparts.

Within the next 12 months, Kinetic Green hopes to introduce another high-end e-scooter. The Zulu is the brand’s first domestically produced product in the high-speed scooter market. Since 2021, it has been selling low-speed scooters called Zoom and Zip.

The Kinetic Engineering group company intends to open its second manufacturing facility in Supa, near Ahmednagar in Maharashtra, with a capacity of one million units and a total investment of Rs 500 crore. The facility is being opened in response to the growing demand for electric vehicles.

“We have laid much of the business’s foundation over the past few years. We have not pursued the cash-burn model but have been profitable at the EBITDA level. Motwani said we will now have scale if we put in more money. By the conclusion of the current fiscal year, the fundraising will be completed.

Kinetic Green has sold 100,000 EVs (e-scooters and e-three-wheelers) for an estimated Rs 1,000 crore since 2021. In the upcoming year, 40,000 Zulus are expected to be sold.

Following the termination of its joint venture with Honda in 1998, Kinetics, a Pune-based manufacturer, is making another attempt to break into the mainstream two-wheeler market by entering the competitive e-two-wheeler market, which Ola Electric currently leads. After that, it tried going solo and partnering with Mahindra & Mahindra, but neither of those ventures worked out as planned.

Nevertheless, Motwani is unfazed and thinks her company, which has a strong brand recall and is vital in economic engineering, has an excellent chance to re-enter the market thanks to the electrification trend. Vahan data shows that the number of e-two-wheelers registered in November was 91,172, a 19% increase from the previous year.

She referred to her subscription model as a “financial innovation” in contrast to other subscription models that necessitate business-to-business (B2B) fleet visits to dealerships or battery-swapping stations.

The customer will receive the battery free of charge along with the scooter; her payment will be made on an actual usage basis. The monthly subscription fees will fall between Rs 600 and Rs 800. According to her, an electric vehicle (EV) with a subscription model will have 31% lower acquisition costs and 74% lower operating costs than a conventional car. With a range of 104 kilometers and a top speed of 60 mph, the Kinetic Zulu is now available with a 2.2 kw NMC battery.

Government policy to support EV

To help achieve its goal of 30% EVs by 2030, the government is introducing lower road fees, scrapping, and refit incentives. By offering capital subsidies through the FAME India Programme Phase II and state-level initiatives, the government is encouraging the installation of EV charging stations. The following incentives have been made public by the Indian government thus far. 

Globally, more and more governments are implementing policies to promote using electric vehicles (EVs). The need for this change is motivated by:

Fight climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions: Electric vehicles (EVs) have no tailpipe emissions, so they significantly improve air quality and the environment. 

Increased energy security: since electric vehicles (EVs) run on electricity, which can be produced from 0

various sources, including renewables, there is less reliance on imported oil. 

Support economic growth: The electric vehicle (EV) industry is expanding quickly, generating new employment opportunities in infrastructure development, manufacturing, and related sectors.

The Archies Review: Great Attempt, Lowered Expectation

TheIndiaSaga Team |

Netflix’s ‘The Archies’ created a huge stir all over the internet, but the grand premiere was inferior. The cast of the Zoya Akhtar movie seemingly promised a wave of newness in Bollywood, but netizens are the best critics. The Bollywood touch to the Indian Riverdale could not justify the childhood nostalgia of the comics.

The story’s plot revolves around these seven friends exploring their lives into romance and love, music, and skates. The story takes off from there, and their lives change with mysterious things happening in the town. Talking about the reactions of the fans and critics, two sides of the fan feud have been trending on all social media portals. On one side, fans call it a likable movie, and another set of fans call it the cringiest thing ever produced. 

Talking about the positive aspects of ‘The Archies’, the characters Betty Cooper, Veronica Lodge, Reggie Mantle, Jughead Jones, Ethel Muggs, and Dilton Doiley portrayed by Suhana Khan, Khushi Kapoor, Vedang Raina, Agastya Nanda and Mihir Ahuja were fresh faces on the screen and did justify their characters but comparing it with the Netflix’s Riverdale is not up to the expectation.

The aspect that didn’t work for the audience was the need for more flow to the story. The Bollywood touch given to the movie could not provide a better outcome than expected. The craft of Zoya Akhtar from her Gully Boy, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, etc, was quite commendable, but with ‘The Archies’, it is a massive disaster. Critics have found the movie pretty uninteresting, and ratings are the best way to see their likeness.

The critics appreciated the new faces introduced by Vedang Raina and Mihir Ahuja. In contrast, the Nepo kids were average in the movie. The Anglo-Indian angle was a nice touch, and the cinematography was also good. Still, the entire story failed on the OTT platform.

Giving an honest opinion of ‘The Archies’, the movie was an excellent acceleration to new faces, but most likely, the boys gave their best, whereas the girls were average. The film had now, and then funny instances, and the plot also accelerated, but the ending could have been better.

To give ratings to the movie, The Archies is average, with a decent 3 out of 5 stars.

In 1999, 2004, 2009, and 2014, Vishnu Deo emerged victorious in four straight Lok Sabha elections from the Raigarh constituency.

In these elections, Sai defeated the candidates of the Congress, Pushpa Devi Singh, Rampukar Singh, Hridayaram Rathiya, and Arti Singh, in that order. Sai emerged victorious in two consecutive Assembly elections (1990 and 1993), representing the undivided Madhya Pradesh constituency of Tapkara. In the 2023 Chhattisgarh Assembly Election, Vishnu Deo emerged victorious over the incumbent Congress Member of Legislation, UD Minj.

Challenges and Expectations 

Sai assumes Chhattisgarh’s leadership amid many issues confronting the state, such as destitution, joblessness, and inadequate progress in the tribal regions. He is anticipated to tackle these problems by emphasizing inclusive development and growth.

There are now expectations for increased tribal community empowerment and representation in the state’s political system following the appointment of a tribal leader as Chief Minister. It is anticipated that Sai will endeavor to meet these communities’ goals and guarantee their fair involvement in the development process.

Sai has led the BJP’s Chhattisgarh unit three times, demonstrating the confidence of the national leadership in his capacity for the organization. From humble beginnings as the sarpanch of a small village, Sai worked his way up to join Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s first Council of Ministers following the BJP’s 2014 formation of a majority government at the federal level.
