San Francisco-based clothing retailer ‘Gap’ is set to enter India with its first store in Delhi in May in partnership with domestic textile company Arvind Lifestyle Brands, which has appointed Oliver Kaye as the business head of the division dealing with the American brand.
This will be Kaye’s second stint in India as he was appointed as the head of Calvin Klein India in 2008 and held the post for a month short of two years.
Managing director and CEO of Arvind Lifestyle Brands, J Suresh said, “We have multiple divisions under Arvind Lifestyle, Gap will be another one”.
Arvind Lifestyle is looking at opening 40 franchise-operated Gap stores in the first few years, Suresh said adding that Gap stores will offer clothes for all sections including men, women, kids and babies from the very first store in Delhi from the first day.
