The globe's biggest luxury brands have dreamt of India's vast consumer base for decades, but navigating the market has proven to be a complex task.

The company already increased prices in July, and was considering doing so again in the future—a move that raised the risk of driving consumers away.

"It's a diabolical situation that consumers find themselves in and especially at a really important time of year for families and for businesses," Mr Walker said.

This saves money for the company and time for the consumer.

Over that period, Furner helped navigate that segment through the pandemic, global supply shocks, a spike in prices, new tariffs and enduring consumer caution.
