About the extensive internationalisation plans of Poney Group, Albert Tan, founder and group executive chairman, said, “We are very excited to enter the Indian market. We believe that India has great eye for fashion and the parents there always seek quality and comfort for their children. We aim to deliver great products and excellent services to parents, and we plan to introduce our “Poney” brand into babies’ and kids’ retail market in India. Overall, we wish to become the number one international kidswear brand in the country within the next 5 years.”
