India is quietly turning into a serious luxury market — and brands are paying attention.

Analysts are pointing to fast growth in luxury retail, driven by young consumers with rising disposable income who are choosing to spend at home instead of abroad.

One big signal?
Galeries Lafayette launching in Mumbai.

What’s changing:

• Young Indians are earning more and spending differently

• Luxury isn’t just for travel shopping anymore

• Homegrown confidence + global taste = local demand going up

Instead of saving splurges for Paris or Dubai, shoppers are buying luxury inside India, currency difference definitely helps— fashion, beauty, accessories, the whole thing.

For global brands, India isn’t “future potential” anymore.
It’s becoming right-now opportunity.
