The spotlight shines on Anko Global, our business division that caters to markets across the globe introducing our Anko range of products to newer markets. Arjun Puri, CEO of Anko Global is featured in the August 2024 edition of Inside Fashion Magazine. In this exclusive feature, Arjun talks about the brilliant opportunity that global retailers can leverage by partnering Anko. Don't miss the insightful interview!
Here's what's happening in August: Arjun Puri, CEO of Anko Global discusses how Anko is offering retailers products backed by proven selling floor success. Truly game-changing for any retailer who wants to expand their assorment - without the risk and expensive of developing more products. We also look at how the apparel industry, once a tech laggard, is now embracing technology. We look at where manufacturers plan to make the biggest tech investments - and what that timeline might look like. Speaking of technology, AI has caught everyone's interest, but some companies are saying "not so fast". We uncover four things that are causing organizations to hit 'pause' on AI. This month our 'Sourcing Spectrum' focus is on Jordan - and how the nation has its sights set on developing its apparel industry. With duty-free access to the US and EU, there are some interesting opportunities. Looking at brands, we find that Urban Revivo has a unique strategy that focuses on stores rather than e-commerce. We also dive into why Nike continues to underperform (and no, its not just a lack of innovation). There's so much to unpack in August!! To everything that's going on at Inside Fashion, head on over to our website.
