Also, the win includes managing the online business of GuteReise.in which is an authorised retail dealer of the brand Victorinox and has over 15 stores across multiple cities in the country.

The new concept, has created a greater opportunity for further growth and optimisation of e commerce capabilities and through a rising sense of co-ownership of business objectives.
