LCBS tied up with SDA Bocconi School of Management, Italy to launch the luxury Management program in India

Shortage of trained manpower in the luxury industry spawned new business opportunities. Mr. Abhay Gupta, the former executive director of Blues Clothing Company who represented brands like Versace, Corneliani, Cadini and John Smedley in India, set up, Luxury Connect, which partnered with the global educational institute, SDA Bocconi School of Management, Italy to provide luxury specific training and education.

LCBS tied up with SDA Bocconi School of Management, Italy to launch  Luxury  Management programme in India. It also collaborated with Jean Claude Roustant, former retail training director at Louis Vuitton, to offer a luxury customer experience management programme. One of the biggest problems faced by luxury brands in the Indian markets was shortage of trained manpower. By 2022, the Indian luxury products and services segment will require close to 1.76 million trained people to work at all levels. To fulfill this gap in the industry, is what led Mr. Gupta to launch a specialized program in  Luxury Brand Management to cater to this niche segment.
