INDIA FASHION FORUM 2023 Decoding the DNA of Profitability: Growth Defined by Value Creation

India Fashion Forum (IFF), India's largest fashion intelligence event, returns for its 22nd edition on 28 February to 1 March at the Conrad, Bengaluru, shaped by the theme of 'Decoding the DNA of profitability: Growth defined by Value Creation'. Set to host over 200 speakers, representatives from 400+ brands and companies and 1000+ attendees, the IFF 2023 conference will cut through topline naivete and focus on real metrics that matter, including building operational capabilities for consistent high-quality execution, creating wealth through profitability and focus on return on capital employed.

Shailesh Chaturvedi, an expert in the development of premium fashion brands with 28 years of experience in the apparel retail industry, will chair IFF 2023. Chaturvedi is taking on the mantle from Akhilesh Prasad, President & CEO, Fashion & Lifestyle Business, Reliance Retail, who chaired the forum's last two editions.

Chaturvedi runs the business of Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, and Arrow brands of US multinational company PVH at Arvind group as their Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer in India in their joint venture here.

"India has a highly fragmented fashion industry with very few 1000 Cr+ brands, indicating a massive opportunity to build brands at scale. However, scale should not come at the expense of profitability. The focus of IFF 2023, therefore, will be to present some exciting case studies on the buildup of large scale, profitable businesses which have created huge value. IFF is India's largest fashion retail event and it is with great excitement that I have taken on the role of Chairman of IFF's 22nd edition in 2023," Chaturvedi notes.

Alongside a powerful conference, the two-day event will offer several compelling attendee experiences, including a wide-ranging exhibition featuring fashion and retail innovation, tech, retail support and real estate majors. In addition, multiple show highlights promise to deliver outstanding experiences and value for exhibitors, speakers and attendees.
