Home furnishing company Urban Ladder expects to hit profits by next financial year as it expands network of physical stores in Delhi-NCR and Bengaluru, and further strengthens its product portfolio. The Ratan Tata-backed company has five physical retail stores in Bengaluru and Gurugram apart from its online operations. The company currently operates one outlet in Gurugram and four outlets at Bengaluru — three being large format (4,500-6,000 sq ft) and one is a smaller format (about 700 sq ft) store. The company’s product-led investment and in-house designing have been growth drivers for the company. The retail domain is vibrant now with fresh investment of big players in new outlets; so this is the right moment for signage companies to grab big fat in-store projects in the sector.
