Campus Activewear in its RHP said that a substantial rise in India’s working age population from 36 per cent in FY 2000 to 50 per cent in FY 2019 is expected to continue sustaining the growth momentum of the Indian economy and lead to rising income levels in the long-term.

“The younger segment of the population is naturally pre-disposed to adopting new trends given their exposure to media and technology, which presents an opportunity for branded products and organized retail,” it noted.
