Arvind Fashions Ltd. has announced the resignation of Susheel Kaul from his position as Managing Director and President (Textiles), citing personal reasons. As per the company’s official intimation, Kaul will be relieved of his duties with effect from the close of business hours on 9 March 2026, a date mutually agreed upon by both the executive and the board of directors.
Arvind Fashions is one of India’s foremost fashion retail conglomerates, widely regarded as the largest player in the casual and denim segment. The company’s extensive brand portfolio comprises both international licences and homegrown labels, including U.S. Polo Assn., Arrow, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein and the iconic Indian denim brand Flying Machine. Its retail network spans thousands of standalone stores and multi-brand points of sale across hundreds of cities nationwide, positioning it as a trendsetter in India’s apparel and lifestyle landscape.
Founded with a legacy that dates back decades, Arvind Fashions has played a significant role in shaping India’s fashion retail ecosystem by introducing global brands to Indian consumers and nurturing domestic fashion labels. Over the years, the company has streamlined its operations to focus on core brands that resonate with diverse consumer segments—from premium lifestyle offerings to casual and denim wear.
Under Kaul’s leadership, the textiles division contributed to the company’s operational focus in product development, market expansion and brand positioning within a highly competitive retail industry. His departure comes at a time when Arvind Fashions continues to evolve its business model through strategic initiatives, including consolidation of brand portfolios and enhancement of omni‑channel retail experiences to meet changing consumer preferences.
As the company moves forward, market watchers will be observing how Arvind Fashions manages succession at the senior leadership level and continues to leverage its strong heritage, expansive distribution network, and brand equity to maintain growth momentum in India’s vibrant fashion sector.
