Faire Price:
Will the company survive the most deadly mistake in the brand
conscious fashion industry?
SWOT Analysis
Strengths Weaknesses
1. Fashion store with 695 stores across 1. Low Worker wages & Overtime
18 states indicating a Pan-Indian given to workers indicating poor
presence. labour treatment.
This is what typically happened with Faire Price, due to an unnecessary action by its
management to get higher profits margins, the workers were paid as less as 25p an hour.
Workers were also given high overtime working hours with very minimal payment.
The company as is clear from the narrative has understood the consequences of ill-treating its
workers and is doing full efforts to turn the scenario around.
“ They launched a five-year ethical trading plan, complete with a national advertising
campaign under the slogan “Doing the Faire Thing”, and new chairman Maharishi Sandhu
last month pledged to put the ethical policy at the heart of its business model. “
It clearly shows that the company is fully inclined towards changing their business, especially
with respect to its workers.
2. Cannibalisation will prove helpful in this case but filtering out the poor brands and
helping keep the new ones. Once only 6-7 good brands remain, they can be clubbed
and merged as individual companies which will lead to a new product range for the
strata’s and buying class of both the brands.
3. Multiple brands will lead to multiple job openings for the workers as well, in line with
the company’s doing the faire thing campaign, and profits will go towards the
betterment of the workers.

2. The brand image and products of Faire Price and Hinduyta are not in line with each
other; Faire price has almost no relation with ethnic Hindu wear.
3. Internal rifts in Hinduyta will lead to more complications for the already burdned
management of Faire Price.
2. Less than minimum wages to workers and unpredictable economic scenario is seen an
another reason not to have a PPP with PTRI.
