Bata strengths India online presence by teaming up with Fynd

Often, finding the right pair of footwear that completes an outfit becomes a tricky affair. People are apprehensive of buying footwear from e-commerce portals as neither the material, size nor the brand is familiar. Completely obviating the scope for these kinds of apprehensions, Fynd, one of India’s most unique fashion e-commerce portals, has got on board Bata, India’s oldest footwear brand.
Through this alliance, premium footwear brands such as Hush Puppies and Power will also be available on Fynd, ensuring every customer sports comfortable yet stylish footwear patterns with ease.
With it’s evolving relationship with the discerning consumers of India, Bata has carved a distinct lead for itself in the Indian footwear market. The brand has for long been the favourite of Indian buyers and captured their imagination with its stylish and contemporary range of merchandise with their unique wow-pricing.
