Prada S.p.A is reportedly in talks with various prospective partners to enter India and has even scoped out the market in advance of this, said at least three people familiar with the development. “Prada has been in talks with various retail partners in India since a few months, but nothing has been confirmed yet,” said a New Delhi-based retailer who was in talks with Prada in Italy through a representative a few months back. None of the three persons cited above wanted to be named.

Prada's spokesperson told Wall Street Journal that, “at the moment, it's too early to talk in depth about our strategy in India.”
