According to a recent United Nations report, India has overtaken China as the world's most populous nation. In fact, according to the report, India's population is expected to reach 1.428 billion, compared to China's 1.425 billion. The U.S. Polo Assn. brand's popularity in India has only grown with the population, making India prime to be the global brand's fastest-growing market. The tremendous growth in popularity and ultimately market share is not without effort, which includes a strategy focused on both brick-and-mortar and e-commerce, as well as overall brand marketing through storytelling.

As one of India's leading casualwear power brands, the multi-billion-dollar, global, sport-inspired U.S. Polo Assn. brand has launched an exclusive brand-specific website USPoloAssn.in to further enhance digital offerings for customers and provide easier access to its product offerings. U.S. Polo Assn. is the first brand in the Arvind Fashions Limited family of businesses to go live with an exclusive brand website. Previously, the brand was listed on all leading online platforms and NNNow, the official brand store and digital destination for Arvind Fashions Limited.

"Arvind has been a tremendous partner to the U.S. Polo Assn. brand, and we are excited about our future as a power brand, targeting a billion-dollar business over the long term in one of the world's most important markets," said J. Michael Prince, President and CEO of USPA Global Licensing, the company that manages and oversees the U.S. Polo Assn. brand. "The execution of our strategic plan in India will further solidify our position as one of the top casual menswear brands in the country."

USPoloAssn.in will carry the entirety of the brand's product offerings across menswear and kidswear. The website will also feature the brand's footwear and innerwear collection, as well as the newly introduced USPA womenswear line.

The newly launched website will be hosting the "Legends Forever Play Together" campaign, featuring Arjun Rampal and Milind Soman, the 'legends of the modeling industry', and Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhuphati, the 'legends of tennis.' The campaign, while celebrating their legendary stature, also shows these icons reminiscing about their fondest memories of where their journey began.

Legends further showcases themes of fashion, style, and nostalgia, as well as bonding between the stars, while presenting the cool and sporty factor of the brand. In the multi-channel campaign, the Legends can be seen sporting the all-new Autumn-Winter '23 Collection from U.S. Polo Assn. The collection features timeless classics with a modern twist, such as polos, denim, oxfords, sweaters, jackets and tee shirts.

The multi-billion-dollar, global brand's presence has also exploded in India, having successfully launched new identity stores, featuring modern décor, an all-white interior, and authenticity through elements of the sport of polo, like polo-themed accessories and game broadcasts, for which the brand is based. U.S. Polo Assn. even launched five stores simultaneously on Sept. 17, 2022, in the city of Bengaluru, Arvind's corporate headquarters.

"U.S. Polo Assn. is an example of 'phygital' retail, where we are blending the best of digital and physical channels to enhance both and deliver the best customer experience, ultimately enabling enhanced omnichannel engagement," said Shailesh Chaturvedi, Managing Director and CEO, Arvind Fashions Ltd. "The combination of the very special and iconic Legends Campaign, the exciting new website and our revamped stores will now allow U.S. Polo Assn. to immerse consumers in our unique brand story across all major touchpoints."

Currently, the brand's retail footprint in India is at more than 400 brand stores, and over 2,000 shop-in-shops, across more than 200 cities in India. Globally, the U.S. Polo Assn. brand is in 190 countries and has global retail sales of more than $2.3 billion.

"This launch comes at the right time as the market is multi-branded and continues to grow, while customers want to engage more with great brands," said Amitabh Suri, CEO of Arvind's U.S. Polo Assn. Division. "U.S. Polo Assn. has a strong retail presence with more than 400 brand stores across India. And when it comes to online presence, U.S. Polo Assn. has been the top casualwear brand across all leading online e-commerce platforms, making it clear there was great demand in the market to launch the new brand website."
