Japanese apparel retailer brand Uniqlo is all set to make its India debut in 2019. The company on Wednesday said that it will launch its first store in Delhi during the fall of 2019, which will also mark its entry in the South Asia region.
The company said that it had set up a wholly-owned subsidiary in India this month and that it will soon begin recruiting local talent for its first store in the country.
"Our entry in India represents a significant step in our company’s global strategy, and we are very pleased and excited to be part of the country’s growing retail market,” said Tadashi Yanai, Chairman, President and CEO of Fast Retailing Co Ltd, operator of the Uniqlo brand.
“We look forward to introducing Uniqlo and our high quality, affordable LifeWear apparel in India, while at the same time contributing to the expansion of the Indian economy,” he added.
The first Uniqlo store will be located in Delhi, and the company will initially focus on expanding its presence in the capital region before considering other areas, the statement added.
