Confirming this, Kailash Gupta, MD Liverpool Retail India, said: “We plan to have an all-India presence through our upcoming brands. Our immediate investment will be funded through internal accruals and banks, later around 2010, we will think of private equity or IPO.”
Moreover, with an investment of around Rs 30 crore, the company plans to enter the high-end garment market by opening around 50 designer boutique stores and will tie up with some of the major designers in the country.
