Apparel brand US Polo after less than five years having entered India has managed to cross Rs 1,000-crore India sales mark in the fiscal ending March 31. US Polo’s fast paced sales puts it in the same league as Zara, which became the biggest apparel brand in India within four years of setting up shop, according to a top executive of the company.

The iconic logo with two polo players on horses helped too. India is possibly fastest growing market by sales and stores addition.
The company plans to open one US Polo store every week over the next few years as part of Arvind’s broader push to grow its retail business.
