Hidesign to add 18 more stores this year

Hidesign is targeting 25 per cent revenue growth this fiscal as it expands the product portfolio and retail presence both in India as well as overseas. The company currently has 74 stores in the country and plan to add about 18 more this year. These stores will all be company—owned as they believe in building a brand story rather than just following a distribution model. Hidesign has 23 stores in global markets like the US, Belgium, France, Britain, Australia, Malaysia, Vietnam and South Africa, among others, though some of them are on a partnership model. Such expansion in India is an added advantage which signage players engaging in in-store displays and other related activities.
