Yepme, India's first online fashion brand showcases its Private Label Men's Apparel, Footwear and Accessories collection

NEW DELHI, Aug. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Indian e commerce markets are seeing big ticket deals, with some of the businesses seeking investment at $ 1 Billion valuation. Despite Indian internet usage, with third largest number of Facebook users in the world just ahead of UK, India still remains a small retail e commerce market due to the twin effects of low margin in the branded electronics market coupled with only end of life cycle / previous season / knock offs available for well known offline brands on most Retail e commerce sites.

Indian retail e commerce businesses are now seeking to move up the value chain by getting into high margin and large volume play of private label fashion brand.
