You see the brand name on the tag, but we found the company that powers everything behind it. PDS Limited is the Value-Focused global infrastructure powerhouse. Group CEO Sanjay Jain gives us a rare look into how major retailers define the single most important word in fashion: Value. He also shares a personal lesson from a favorite movie character and his bullish outlook on the "exploding" future of Indian retail.

What You'll Learn:

  • The Core Selling Point: Why "Value" is the one word that determines whether a piece of clothing sells, and how its definition changes based on the customer segment.

  • The India Paradox: The "globally integrated, yet locally rooted" characteristics of the 18+ Indian youth, making a pan-India retail strategy a careful aggregation of clusters.

  • From Landfill to Legacy: The circular economy innovations, including converting textile waste into anti-combustible bricks to actively combat clothes pollution.

  • Scaling Secrets: The two qualities PDS seeks when investing in founders: Differentiation (disruptive idea/consumption) and Scalability.
