Q&A with Siddharth Grover
What was the idea behind Groversons Paris Beauty?
There was a Gap in the market relating to women innerwear category. At that time, there were hardly any brands providing solutions to women innerwear issues. It was very important to educate women and provide them with the right garment with right fitting for their daily comfort.
What are the changes in strategies the company has initiated to successfully run this model?
Evolution of brand is very important for its growth and we have been constantly catering to the demands of the customers, changing trends and requirements of the market etc, which is why we are there from last 6 decades in the market. With changing time, we have understood the demands of the market and customers and have evolved ourselves in all aspects of the innerwear category such as changing designs, conceptualising of daily wear, and providing the best of the fabrics.
How are you planning to expand in the future?
We have recently opened one of our brand outlet in South Ex-1, Delhi Market and we are coming up with more Exclusive Outlets in the coming year.
