Vivek Bali, COO, Sephora India, Arvind Beauty Brands said “We are going to open 8-10 stores in India over the next 3-4 years. We are growing at high double digit and will reach around Rs. 180 crore revenues this fiscal. We expect to hit the Rs 1,000 crore revenue targets earlier than we hit the 50 store milestone in the country. Sephora is also planning to enter tier II and III cities in the country. While its store size in India is around 3,200 square feet, it may look at marginally smaller stores in the smaller markets.”
