The fashion market used to dominate by the European and US markets. Indian market used to be very less for the reputed brands. Main reason for this was the low earning power of people in India. They used to prefer low cost but low quality garments rather than expensive quality products.
This made life miserable for branded products. Branded companies were going the other way, which was high quality at higher price. But with the recent improvements in the economy and living standards of Indian people, things have changed. There are more middle class people in India than ever before. It has made a huge market for branded products in the country.

TSG international has already introduced many of their brands to the Indian market forecasting big sales margins in the future. Alberta Ferretti and Jean-Paul Guiltier are few of the brands they launched.
