		<description>This is a very old article but if you people are still keeping track of the foreign brands in India, i&#039;d like some help. I&#039;m doing a project on the effects of FDI in the retail sector, especially the clothing sector. Which all brands are slated to come to India if FDI in multi-branding is approved by the govt. of India. Also, how exactly would it affect the major Indian players like Pantalons, Westside, Shoppers Stop etc. Please reply. Thanks in advance.</description>

		<description>[...] The Indian consumer is certainly demonstrating more optimism and as far as there are no major unforeseen global or domestic shocks, this optimism should translate into a healthier business outlook for international brands as well. According to early signs, 2010 could be an excellent curtain-raiser for a new decade of growth for international fashion brands in India. [Link] [...]</description>

		<description>Hi, Mukti
Thanks for your appreciative comments. As a consulting firm we&#039;re not always able to assist everyone directly, so we&#039;re really glad when someone finds use for our expertise and insights through our articles.
Wish you the best for launching your line.

		<description>Hello Mr. Devangshu Dutta,
My name is Mukti Patel and I am a fashion designer/entrepreneur from New York.  I have a background in Design from Parsons and a BA in Economics from the University of California. I have been following your articles over the last couple of years. Your insight has helped me gain perspective on global markets. While I have been born and raised in the US, I view the economy as a global entity and am constantly trying to grasp the differences and changes that are occurring in the market. 
Currently, I am putting together a business plan for a clothing line that will fill in the gaps in the Indian fashion industry. Growing up, I have kept an eye on spending behaviors of South Asian Americans. I realized that there are certain aspects of the fashion industry (standardized sizing, global trends, fit, and quality) that Indians in the US are exposed to, but have yet to find these things in their shopping experience for Indian garments. I also see that there is a cultural shift occurring in India and do plan to enter India (with a different tier and different marketing angle) after I have branded my business in the US. 
I know both industries very well and have always been aware of how consumers behave. In the last two years, I traveled to India three times and have seen all the different levels and aspects of the industry. I have visited mass production facilities, export handwork factories, tailors, and have met with those involved in the high-end market including designers and the coordinators of Lakme Fashion Week. 
Throughout this process, many of your articles have confirmed my beliefs. I want to thank you for access to such wonderful wisdom. Please reply with any thoughts at your convenience. 
Regards, 
Mukti</description>
