Campus Activewear secures global human capital milestone amid market expansion
25 April 2026, Mumbai
In a significant endorsement of its operational culture, Campus Activewear has been certified as a Top Employer 2026 in India by the Top Employers Institute. This recognition follows a rigorous evaluation of the company’s human resources framework, focusing on talent acquisition, digital learning, and employee well-being. Unlike traditional retail models, the brand has integrated its people strategy directly with its commercial objectives, ensuring that its workforce of over 3,000 employees is equipped to handle the complexities of a fast-evolving athleisure market.
Financial momentum and product diversification
The certification coincides with a period of robust fiscal performance. In the quarter ended December 2025, the company reported a record revenue of Rs 588.61 crore, marking a 14.3 per cent Y-o-Y increase. Profitability increased by 37.1 per cent, reaching Rs 63.68 crore, driven by a strategic move toward premiumization. The average selling price (ASP) rose by 5.2 per cent to Rs 711, reflecting a successful transition from mass-market volume to value-driven growth.
Furthermore, the brand recently expanded its retail footprint beyond footwear, launching an athleisure apparel line in early 2026 to capture a larger share of the growing Rs 1.7 trillion Indian sports and lifestyle market.
Infrastructure scalability and sector impact
To support this growth, Campus Activewear has optimized its supply chain through its new manufacturing facility in Pant Nagar, which recently commenced production of premium shoe components. This vertical integration addresses the critical industry challenge of rising input costs while maintaining an operating profit margin of 18.7 per cent. As the Indian footwear sector is projected to reach $47.5 billion by 2034, the company’s focus on an omni-channel approach - leveraging 23,000 retail touchpoints and a 50.6 per cent revenue contribution from D2C channels - positions it as a benchmark for local players aiming for global operational standards.
Campus Activewear is India’s premier sports and athleisure footwear brand, commanding a dominant share in the branded segment since its inception in 2005. Operating through a vast pan-India distribution network, the company focuses on the high-growth youth and women's categories. Recent financials show a 10 per cent revenue increase for FY25, supported by aggressive expansion in Tier-II and Tier-III cities.
