I Will Not Rest Until Levi's Is Back To Its Glory Days

Levi’s was the quintessential dominant American jeans wear brand in the late 1990s. The brand, credited with inventing denim, commanded a premium and the market lapped up whatever it had to offer.

After taking over in 2011, Bergh has successfully stemmed the decline, but the turnaround is still in progress. Speaking to BT’s Sumant Banerji, Bergh outlines his ambition and how India will play a major role for Levi’s.
