Luxury-Shopping

You gotta be kidding me! Expansion in the time of economic slowdown and that too the luxury retail segment. India is not considered to be the consumer of overly expensive and exclusive luxury niche. We, the common man (aam admi) brigade pride ourselves in buying the cheapest durable product that is.

It’s time to wake up and give it a re-thought. Indian Consumer has changed and so has their mindset. Ok, not to generalise it but yes, there has been a drastic change in how the Indian Consumer behaviour has gone through a radical makeover. The focus has shifted from Price to Quality to a large extent.

Now the Armani’s and Ferrari’s trying to woo Cash rich Indian consumers

by Arun Prabhudesai

The world is eyeing the pockets of cash rich Indian consumers like never before. And why not, the pace at which India is changing has to be seen to be believed. Even in a tier II city like Pune, you can see luxury cars (costing more than Rs. 50 lakh each) plying the roads in abundance.

The younger generation is also getting quite hip. If you pass by any college – one look at students will give you a glimpse of how savvy they are getting about fashion. The clothes and accessories they sport are straight from the ramp !

That’s exactly why Giorgio Armani has become the latest of a horde of high-end brands to target India’s growing appetite for luxury goods. The Italian group will take a 51 per cent stake in a joint venture with DLF, the Indian property developer – the biggest presence it is allowed in the country under regulations.

The first Armani outlet will be opened at a new “super luxury mall” being built by DLF, which also has a partnership with Dolce & Gabbana, in New Delhi. By the end of the year, Armani expects to have around five stores across the subcontinent.

Are Bentleys feasable on Indian Roads?

by Arun Prabhudesai

The news of Bentley cars coming to India is pretty old. However, I cannot help but imagine how these super expensive cars (if I can call them cars) will do on Indian roads. A Bentley range starts from minimum of a crore. At an average it is around 2.5 to 3 Crore rupees ($500,000 to $1 Million). Putting that kind of money on a car that too to drive on Indian roads seems quite foolish. Now, that was harsh- but I cannot express in better way than this !
To top it all – Bentley is introducing 3 new models…
