  "account": "Ethnic wear brand Libas is set to expand its retail footprint with the opening of nine new exclusive brand outlets (EBOs) during the festive shopping period of Navratri. These new stores will be located in high-street locations and shopping malls across Bengaluru, Jaipur, Kanpur, Noida, and Jabalpur. This expansion brings Libas' total store count in India to over 55 outlets.\n\nLibas currently offers women's ethnic and fusion wear, including kurtas, suit sets, sarees, lehengas, and contemporary Indian outfits. The brand competes with other retailers such as Biba, Aurelia, W for Woman, and Soch in this segment. The new outlets aim to provide shoppers with the opportunity to explore Libas' collections in person, allowing them to examine styles, fabrics, and fits before making a purchase.\n\nAs Libas looks to the next phase of its growth, offline retail will be a key driver in expanding its consumer reach and strengthening its presence across markets. The brand's founder and CEO, Sidhant Keshwani, stated, \"As Libas enters its next phase of growth, offline retail will be an important lever in expanding our consumer reach and strengthening our presence across markets. Our focus is on building a retail network that allows us to scale efficiently, respond to local demand and deliver a consistent brand experience.\"\n\nSo far, Libas has already achieved an impressive annualized revenue run rate (ARR) of ₹1,000 crore in March 2026, and is targeting ₹1,000 crore in revenue for the fiscal year 2027. The nine new outlets are part of Libas' broader FY27 expansion plans, which include adding more than 50 additional stores.",
