Smart retailing, once seen as a distant vision, is rapidly transforming the Indian fashion retail landscape.
In India’s thriving fashion retail market, valued at US $ 105 billion in 2025, leading domestic and international brands such as Azorte, Decathlon, Reliance Trends, H&M, Landmark Group, Bestseller, Uniqlo and Shoppers Stop, amongst many others, are adopting cutting-edge technologies to elevate consumer engagement and shopping experience.
The challenges faced by traditional retail formats are many – long checkout queues, out-of-stock inventory, difficulty in locating products, unavailability of store assistants and lack of product information, leading to frustrated shoppers and lost sales.
This is where Smart Retailing comes into play!
By integrating AI, AR, VR, app-based consumer interactions, in-store virtual fitting solutions, facial recognition, in-store navigation assistants and touchless checkouts, fashion retailers are redefining shopping experience. These technologies not only address consumer pain points but also drive brand loyalty and business growth.
Fashion Tech Week 2025, scheduled for April 3-4 at ITC Gardenia, Bengaluru, will explore the future of smart retailing in India.
Amongst many panel discussions, Retail Reimagined: SMART STORES will feature industry experts addressing key challenges and opportunities in smart retailing.
