No big ads. No Bollywood faces. Zudio wins with word-of-mouth, Insta reels, and local buzz. It’s marketing that costs peanuts and pays in footfalls.
New stock flies off shelves. Stores often break even within 18 months, with monthly revenues hitting ₹1,000+ per sq. ft. That’s fast fashion with fast returns.
