Fashion designer Abhishek Dutta said, "Fashion business has taken a significant leap with the advent of e-commerce. With the growth of online shopping, fashion brands are reaching out to a wider audience, and customers can browse and buy their favourite clothing from the comfort of their homes. This has resulted in lower overhead costs for fashion brands, the ability to offer a wider range of products, and increased revenue. E-commerce has also enabled fashion brands to embrace data analytics, allowing them to understand customer preferences better, personalise marketing, and deliver targeted product recommendations. In short, the benefits of e-commerce for the fashion industry are increased revenue, efficiency, and customer engagement."
