Prozone-Liberty is in high gear preparing for launch of the first mall in FY 2010. Construction at
Aurangabad is well advanced and teams are well entrenched in the process of completing India’s
first regional shopping centre in a Tier 2 city. With a local catchment area of over 2 million
inhabitants, a world class retail and entertainment concept will offer a large catchment area in the
State of Maharashtra a chance to enjoy a shopping experience never before seen in this country –
an experience the whole family can enjoy time and time again.

2008 saw the launch of our first two Promart stores in Ahmedabad and Indore. The success of
the concept has inspired us to rollout stores in other cities and we have begun to implement our
scale up plans.
Promart offers the consumer a chance to own valued brands at discounted prices year round. The
Promart concept is a seamless offprice department store housing India’s finest brands in fashion
and lifestyle. Promart is a new environment for customers who “need a bargain” or “want a
bargain” without comprising on the shopping experience. The store is designed to work for
retailers needing a reliable, trusted outlet for off-price merchandise and to inspire customers to
share in the promise of new India.
Promart stores now house more than 100 brands and labels and offer a wide range of
merchandise in men’s, women’s and children’s wear as well as home furnishings and
accessories. Each Promart store is a minimum of 50,000 square feet designed to offer a modern
and rewarding shopping experience every visit. A dynamic mix of events, activities and
promotions will enhance and maintain high footfalls.

Manager and Merchandiser, so that they replenish the stock from other Provogue Studio

Promotion

During the year, we have invested intelligently to align the brand with some of the best events
associated with Indian youth including the sponsorship of several of the year's most successful
Bollywood movie releases.
Provogue also continues a strong print advertising campaign in the broadsheet press, fashion,
business and lifestyle publications and magazines. A fresh approach to advertising was initiated
recently by advertising in the in-flight magazines of Jet Airways & Indian Airlines.
Cricket is almost a religion in India. And what better way to relate to our customers than to
connect with this game. Provogue sponsored outdoor advertising for the India-Sri Lanka Test
Series which was held across the country, which not only ensured total coverage of the stadium
audience but also garnered maximum television coverage at no extra cost.
Saif Ali Khan, Esha Deol & Upen Patel are the brand ambassadors for Provogue Men, Provogue
Women and Provogue Accessories.
