We are witnessing a marked preference among shoppers across the country, including in non-metro cities, to try out new brands, styles and personal care products with greater enthusiasm, coupled with an increase in basket size, and that gives us the confidence and encouragement to curate and offer more. With Christmas and New Year round the corner, we expect this shopping spree to continue till the end of the six-day event.”
