Witco: Going Places

Founded 60 years ago in Chennai, Witco is one of the early pioneers in modern retailing of luggage in India. Hit by the downturn of 2008, the company reinvented itself to focus on smaller stores, relaunched its own private label, and increased space for personal products. Growing 15 percent year-on-year, it is now looking to expand out of South India to the rest of the country.
