On one hand, we are strategizing the way forward through unlocking potential in untapped geographies & categories, building teams, collaborating with marquee customers, increasing wallet share of existing customers and strengthens the vendor network. On the other hand, we are transforming from being just a "fashion" company to a truly digital platform providing ESG compliant end-to-end solutions with sustainability at its core," Mr. Jain further added.

Moreover, PDS continues to broaden its reach to major markets by strengthening the vendor network in strategic locations such as Vietnam; which provides integrated solution and Turkey, that benefits from shorter lead times.
