India’s retail sector is one of the most vibrant and fastest-growing in the world, driven by rising consumer demand, rapid urbanization, and digital commerce. With the entry of global brands, the expansion of e-commerce platforms, and the integration of omnichannel retail models, the sector is undergoing unprecedented transformation.
At the same time, businesses must navigate a complex framework of consumer protection, advertising, product labeling, franchising, and e-commerce regulations, while balancing operational efficiency and brand integrity.
