Diversifying Beyond E-Commerce and Apparel

By acquiring a majority stake in a cookware manufacturer, the company aims to expand its business operations and strengthen its presence in the kitchenware sector. This follows recent milestones, including the scheduled handover of digital ownership for apparel brands Zentaro and Phoenix Wear by January 2027.
The integration of manufacturing capabilities via Unique Cookware is expected to create synergies within the company's existing e-commerce and distribution frameworks.
