Peter England is the largest menswear brand in India with nearly 5 million garments sold every year. First launched by Madura Fashion and Lifestyle (then known as Madura Garments) in the mid-price shirt segment in 1997, the company acquired the world rights for the brand in the year 2000.
During that time, a new India was emerging, a land of growth and opportunity. The apparel consumption behaviour was undergoing a sea change, and there was a huge market opportunity waiting to be explored. Consumers were exposed to branded formal menswear, but there were no dominant national players in the mid-priced segment.
