The brand has reported operating profits of 100 crore rupees (approximately 15 million US dollars) and revenue of 500 crore rupees (approximately 75 million dollars) in India and has stated that business is going very well.

“The Indian business is an integral part of the global growth strategy for the Pepe Jeans brand, and the group has in fact acquired a 100 percent stake in the local business over time,” Managing Director of Pepe Jeans India, Kavindra Mishra, told the Economic Times. "We are in the preliminary stages of evaluating some options to raise capital to pursue our growth plans.”
