Speaking about the launch, Mr. Asim Dalal, Managing Director, The Bombay Store says, "At the Bombay Store, we strive to offer our customers the best products with superior service and shopping experience. While a major percentage of sales come from in-store purchase, there is also a huge segment of customers who, while willing, are unable to do so due to time constraints or location issues. We are sure that our online shopping portal will give them the convenience and experience that has become synonymous with The Bombay Store."

He further added, "International visitors comprise approximately 25% of our sales and since they mostly are on visit or tour in India their repeat purchases for gifting or home were restricted. We are certain that the launch of our web store would give them the convenience and pleasure of shopping at The Bombay store anytime and from anywhere in the world".
