What happened

Trent's Westside plans to open up to 100 stores annually, expand into new cities and northeast India, boost e-commerce and AI-driven design as Zudio growth

Key facts

  • 100 stores/year
  • 300 stores currently
  • 10-15 stores/year previously
  • ₹2,500 crore raised
  • e-commerce target 10% vs 6%
  • weekly design output 50 to 400-500
  • 30-day production lead time

Why this matters

With Zudio's growth plateauing, Trent is repositioning Westside as its next scale engine, opening white space in tier-1 metros and northeast India that rivals should watch for pre-emptive real estate moves.
