Woodland Franchise

The Indian populous is always adoptive of the emerging trends in fashion among other industries, thanks to the increasing pay-scale of the citizens and a never-ending temptation to procure. India ranks second in the world for footwear production, and its apparel segment is flourishing with opportunities for both foreign and domestic players.

The story of the origin of Woodland dates back to the early 1950’s, when Aero Group (Woodland’s parent company) navigated into the outdoor shoe industry by initiating its endeavors in Quebec, Canada. The bifurcation of Russia prompted the famed entity to extend its portfolio into India, thus leading to the creation of a brand which we now know as ‘Woodland.’ The brand promotes itself as a rugged outdoor shoe brand preferred by adventure enthusiasts
