Founded in 2008, Campus is the largest sports and athleisure footwear brand in India, both in value and volume terms in fiscal 2021 and has a 17% market share.
Its product portfolio includes 1,433 active styles for men, 241, active styles for women and 485 active styles for kids and children as of December 2021.
It operates five manufacturing facilities in India with an installed annual capacity for assembling 28.80 million pairs.
While the men’s category accounted for 85% of revenue, women’s and kids segment accounted for 6% and 9%, respectively. “Women’s segment is fragmented but we are looking at ramping it up. Till now women have been comfortable with the idea of using open footwear (sandals and heels), which is gradually changing, said Nikhil Aggarwal, chief executive, Campus.
“We aim to diversify our product portfolio and continue to invest in our omni-channel," Aggarwal said. He added that the company will also look to strengthen its network of exclusive brand outlets and enhance online sales.
Aggarwal said the sports and athleisure industry is expected to grow by 20-25% compound annual growth rate by 2025. The shift from unorganised to organised, and increasing awareness on health and fitness among the masses will further contribute to growth.
