Speaking to Retail4Growth, Sarvesh Kalra, Director of Dayal Opticals - the third generation leading this iconic family business, shares what it truly takes to stand out in India's fast-evolving, fiercely competitive eyewear market and how Dayal Opticals differentiates itself from its peers.
Key Highlights:
- High-quality service is at the core of ensuring the best customer experience at Dayal Optical stores.
- An in-store experience that is driven by depth of selection, gives the feel of walking into a candy shop, with every option available under one roof.
- Eyewear is not a one-size-fits-all product. Virtual try-ons can't tell you if a frame is comfortable on your nose or how it truly fits your face. That’s the power of in-store experience, which you can’t replicate online
- Dayal Opticals believes in opening fewer stores with the best inventory than rushing into multiple cities.
