national mutli-brand outlets and leading e-commerce sites. In May 2014, Central

2004 to 25 stores in 15 major cities of the country by May, 2014 lays a journey
which is full of hard work, challenges, joy and hunger to achieve more! As of
year ended March 31, 2015, the Company operated 29 Central stores, 39 Brand

and accelerate new product development in categories which are currently not
served by retailers.

Converse was awarded the ‘Best Men’s Footwear Brand’ at the Myntra Brand Summit
2014 held in September 2014.
BUSINESS OUTLOOK:
The Management is planning to emerge the Company as a brand company with an extensive distribution network, both offline and online during the financial year 2015-16. The Company would add new stores, explore new channel of sales for the brand portfolio and increase consumer spending within the stores to increase in growth of revenue and it would be on achieving disproportionate growth of the brands business which would lead to margin expansions. The Company would be taking all steps to expand its retail network by expansion of its own format stores as well as capture newer markets which are currently not serviced by multi-brand outlets. The Management would also ensure that the dedicated teams continuously review various brands in light of the trends, moods and aspirations of the customers and appropriately position these brands to ensure the growth. The teams would also be increasing Company’s brands portfolio as well as extend existing brands to newer categories to capture larger consumer spending. The Company would undertake various initiatives to increase footfalls, store productivity and consumer ticket size and it will continue to explore opportunities to partner and invest in fast growing labels managed by designers and entrepreneurs.

RELEASES
Future Lifestyle Fashions acquires 12% stake in Unico Retail
Kishore Biyani-led Future Lifestyle Fashions today said it has acquired 12 % stake in Unico Retail for an undisclosed sum.
Unico Retail sells handbags, belts and wallets under the brand 'Peperone'.
"The company has acquired 12 % stake in Unico Retail Private Limited, a
company engaged in the business of handbags, belts and wallets under the brand
'Peperone' in India," Future Lifestyle Fashion said in a BSE filing.
Last year, Future Lifestyle Fashion divested minority stakes in ethnic wear
firm Biba Apparels and designer Anita Dongre-owned and for Rs 4500.000 Million.
While Future Lifestyle Fashion has exited two investments, it also picked up
minority stakes in three companies. These are footwear firms Tresmode and
Famozi shoes and Mineral, a designer label from Priyadarshini Rao.
Premji's fund buys
10% in Biyani's fashion firm
In yet another bet on retail sector, Premji Invest, the family office of billionaire IT tycoon Azim Premji, will pick up 10% stake in Kishore Biyani co-promoted Future Lifestyle Fashions(FLF) for around Rs 1250.000 Million.
FLF today said that it will issue 15.500 million shares to PI Opportunities Fund-1 at Rs 80.500 Million apiece on a preferential basis, which is 16% discount to today's close of Rs 93.400 Million
Future group, which owns 56.7% stake in FLF, will pick up 3.100 million shares and 18.600 Million compulsorily convertible debentures at Rs 80.500 Million apiece through its arm Ryka Commercial Ventures. Together, it will invest Rs 175.000 Million in the company. Kishore Biyani did not respond to calls on the subject.
Premji Invest earlier picked up stakes in Trent, Fabindia and Koutons. It recently invested $50.000 million in e-commerce portal Myntra.com.
FLF shares ended the day at Rs 93.4, which was 3.21% down from the previous close.
Biyani bets big on
small lifestyle companies
One-and-a-half years after he sold his department store chain Pantaloons to the Aditya Birla Group, homegrown retail king Kishore Biyani is making several small yet strategic moves to strengthen his lifestyle and apparel portfolio by acquiring stakes in apparel and shoe companies.
After his company, Future Lifestyle Fashions, newly carved out from the fashion
businesses of Future Ventures and Future Retail, sold stakes worth Rs 4500.000
Million that it held in two apparel firms - Indian wear brand Biba Apparels and
western wear brand AND - the company has picked up stakes in two footwear
firms, Tresmode and Famozi Shoes, and in a designer wear chain called Mineral.
Future Lifestyle Fashions has also bought 27.5 per cent stake in
Resource World Exim, a company that sells women's fashion apparel under the
brand, Desi Belle, for an undisclosed sum. Biyani is further believed to be in
talks with Delhi-based department store chain Biglife Ritu Wears,
Bangalore-based garment chain Coupon and Delhi-based premium apparel brand
Giovani Fashion for buying a stake.

Though Biyani does not comment on the subject, he has been quoted in the media
about his plans. "We are exiting mature investments. The investments in Biba
and and were both made more than five years ago. We exit investments when they
become large," Biyani told Press Trust of India recently. "These new
investments in Mineral, Tresmode and Framozi will mature in four to five years.
By his own admission, Biyani delt in everything from insurance to private
equity to non-banking financial services besides retail, but downsized later.
As debt mounted to as much as Rs 78500.000 Million in 2011, he was quick to
sell businesses which he considered non-core. He sold stakes in his NBFC
(non-banking financial company), insurance ventures and fashion format
Pantaloons to deleverage.
"I have learnt to detach myself from whatever I have built. We will divest
stakes in ventures which give us strength," Biyani had told this
correspondent earlier.
Apart from reducing the debt ( today his listed entity, Future Retail, has less
than Rs 50000.000 Million of debt on its books), Biyani has used the cash to
acquire stakes in new brands.
Retailers hobble
online as e-commerce firms race ahead
The head of Future Group, one of India's largest and most established retailers, admits he can't keep up with web sites like Snapdeal and Flipkart when it comes to spending money to entice shoppers to buy online.
Private investors have poured $2.3 billion into India's e-commerce companies so far this year, according to consulting firm Technopak, giving them financial firepower to overwhelm shoppers with bargains and deals that brick-and-mortar retailers like Future Group, which runs a host of chains including Future Retail Ltd (FURE.NS) and Future Lifestyle Fashions (FLFL.NS), cannot match.
"It's all about money. The e-commerce guys have money to experiment - I don't have this kind of money to blow," Kishore Biyani, who pioneered modern retail in India and is chief executive of the Future Group, told Reuters in an interview.
In an attempt to match up, traditional retailers are forging partnerships with well-funded websites such as Flipkart.com, Amazon.com Inc (AMZN.O) and Snapdeal to put their wares on the web without investing heavily in their own online infrastructure.
This tentative approach to e-commerce, however, leaves traditional retailers vulnerable to being completely overtaken by their better-funded online rivals in a country where a rapidly expanding middle class is doing more and more shopping on the web.
In October, Future Group tied up with Amazon's Indian arm to sell its brands online. A month earlier, electronics retailer Croma, owned by the Tata Group, struck a similar arrangement with Snapdeal.
According to Technopak, organized retail in India is expected to grow to $182 billion in 2020 from the current $46 billion. E-tailing is forecast to expand at a faster clip, to $32 billion by 2020 from $2.3 billion now.
India's protectionist government policies have long shielded established retailers from competition. As a result, they never felt the need to invest in state-of-the-art technology, said Bhavit Desai, a U.S.-based strategy consultant who has worked with companies such as Walmart International, the global unit of Wal-mart Stores Inc (WMT.N), and Target Corp (TGT.N).
"Many huge players in the market have invested very little in technology and have been followers at best," Desai said.
MOM-AND-POP TO ONLINE SALES
In 2012, then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's government opened the retail industry to foreign operators, allowing companies such as Wal-Mart and Tesco Plc (TSCO.L) to own majority stakes in Indian chains for the first time.
But the government left it to individual states to decide whether to let in foreign retailers. Few have stepped up, and the big foreign chains that might have shared their online expertise with India's stores are largely absent.
Instead, local online marketplaces have proliferated, backed by billions of dollars coming in primarily from abroad. Last month's $627 million investment by Japan's SoftBank Corp in Snapdeal illustrated a widening gap. The portal has also attracted funds from eBay Inc (EBAY.O) and billionaire Ratan Tata.
Flipkart.com raised $1 billion earlier this year, in a round of funding from Singapore sovereign wealth fund GIC, along with existing investors Tiger Global Management LLC and South African media company Naspers Ltd.
That leaves traditional Indian retailers vulnerable, say industry advisers. Online marketplaces don't need to pay high commercial rents or build stores to serve India's 1.3 billion people, and they're soaking up outside investments and expertise from their international backers that can help them move faster to profit.
Organised retail is still developing in India. More than 90 percent of shopping is done at informal roadside shacks and in bazaars. These small shops are seen as the lifeblood of the economy and successive governments have protected them.
But the same policies have also shielded much larger players like Shoppers Stop Ltd (SHOP.NS), Future Retail and others. At the same time, online stores are racing ahead, modernising the retail industry at a pace that traditional chains cannot match.
"It is exactly like what happened in telecoms," said Harminder Sahni, managing director of Wazir Advisors. "In India, we never took landlines to every single home - mobiles came in and leapfrogged that."
