The new factory reportedly has 200 high-end machines and is sufficient to fulfill the growing demand in Bengaluru and Mysuru. The company has invested Rs 20 million in establishing its largest factory in Hosur. Additionally, to strengthen its omnichannel presence, Wakefit is expected to add 90 stores in 25 cities in the coming three years. Also, the brand is in plans to scale its furniture and accessories business to generate revenue in a 50:50 split.
