Apart from offline expansion, the brand will also tap the booming online market through partnerships with e-commerce firms and plans to launch its own portal in the coming months to boost sales in the country.

"Seraphine is entering India with its first store in Delhi in August. We plan to stores in key cities in India such as Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru in the next 3 years. We also want to open outlets in tier II cities through sub-franchise agreement," Kay Kay Clothing LLP Director Rajat Kapoor was quoted as saying by PTI.
 
"Seraphine's global website already gets orders from India, so once we start our own India portal, we expect good traction for the brand through online channel," he added.
