Domestic Market -
Boycott of China & Chinese Goods - The total market size for fashion imports in India is around $50bn. This includes large and small players who are manufacturing in China and selling in India. It is estimated that these imports will get severely hit and will fall by 40% to 60%.
Promotion & Demand for Made in India Apparels - AH offers global quality at 50% less price points. The brand is holistically developed and will attract tremendous traction among youth.
Active & Life Style Wear - The aesthetics of AH are distinct and at par or better in most cases than its international competition

Domestic Market
In the domestic market the Indian customer has no credible alternative to the STAR & STRIPES, THE UNION JACK, THE REDS & BLUES. The market is dominated by high visibility American, British, German, EU driven brands that are mostly MADE IN CHINA. The blue and red colonial colours dominate our fashion today. There is a strong inherent need to look modern but still stay close to the Indian way of things. People have started appreciating the aspect of identity that is very much Indian. AH has identified this untapped need, and will be the first Indian fashion brand to formally introduce National Colors in Indian fashion. This strategy is specific for the India geo only. We intend to treat the international markets differently per the fashion demands. The local apparel industry does not address sentiment branding, which is a huge gap. In principle, brands need to be sentiment driven, they need to have character and emotion. Not one local player displays nationalistic sentiment or is driven by what the nation represents. I call them t-shirt sellers not BRANDS.

The manufacturing, raw material sourcing of ARMOUR HEAVY is mostly hyperlocal. This makes a high margin leverage while keeping the production and selling price very competitive yet being quality driven at all times. From a cost view point, AH sits with Decathlon, Bewakoof etc. and from a brand value stand point we sit with the best in the business. This gives us very high-competitive leverage.

The business of apparel is expensive and needs upfront investment. If we are not given the right investment on time (within 6 months of our operations) the business will be sluggish.
A min investment of USD 200K is required to scale the operations.
