Our retail network is where brands become experiences and consumer insight becomes local relevance. Across formats, cities and customer segments, every store brings us closer to how India shops, celebrates, works, moves and expresses itself.
FY 2025-26 marked a defining moment as our network crossed 1,000 stores. We closed the year with 1,032 stores across 221 cities and 31 states and Union Territories, creating one of India’s largest speciality footwear retail platforms.
The milestone reflects more than physical scale. Each store extends access to our brands, deepens our understanding of local preferences and strengthens the platform through which we serve diverse lifestyles, occasions and price points.
Our stores remain the physical backbone of the customer experience while increasingly supporting the wider omni-channel ecosystem. They provide spaces for discovery, trial and personalised assistance, while connected inventory and digital fulfilment capabilities allow the network to serve customers beyond each store’s immediate catchment.
Our company-owned and company-operated model gives us direct control over store economics, assortment, inventory, service standards and customer experience. This enables us to refine each format continuously and scale only where the operating model is proven and financially viable.
Walkway is central to our expansion in the value segment, particularly across Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. This year witnessed a 47% addition to the Walkway stores. The format serves aspirational consumers seeking contemporary footwear at accessible price points. Its rollout is being calibrated to local market conditions, with a sharp focus on merchandise relevance, store productivity and sustainable returns.
Having crossed an important milestone, our focus remains on strengthening presence in established markets, entering new cities selectively and expanding formats where we see clear consumer relevance. Each addition will continue to be guided by disciplined economics and a simple objective: to bring the right brand, assortment and experience closer to the right customer.
Our presence spans major consumption centres and emerging markets, supported by a balanced distribution across regions and city tiers. Our network is also geographically diversified, with the South and West forming the largest regions, alongside a growing presence across northern and eastern India. This breadth reduces dependence on any single market while allowing formats and assortments to be aligned with local demand.
