Uniqlo entered the Indian market by opening its first store in the country at the Ambience Mall Vasant Kunj in New Delhi, followed by its second store at DLF CyberHub in Gurugram.

“Our journey in India has been very rewarding and we would like to offer our sincere gratitude to everyone who has made us feel welcome.

Uniqlo claimed to have recorded Rs 2.2 crore ($331,000) in sales during its first two days retailing in India. Uniqlo is owned by the Tokyo-based business Fast Retailing and was founded by Tadashi Yanai.

The business currently has more than 2,200 stores in 25 markets including Japan.
