This case study examines the effect of shift in consumer behaviour, deepening economic uncertainty and e-commerce revolution on Fabindia through the TUNA framework. It continues with a look on the strategic measures the brand applies through offering convenience, sustainability, and seamless omnichannel experience as a possible remedy.

The analysis emphasizes on the initiatives of Fabindia in multichannel retailing, sustainability differentiation, and integration of online offline.
The conclusion is left out as a question mark that will then stimulate people to discuss the positive effects of the rebranding. For classic brands like Fabindia that are learning the complexity of existing in today's retail world, this case is a valuable study. It underscore the significance of strategic adaptation along with that between innovation and tradition, and the influence of storytelling and multichannel strategy in creation of a unique experience for the contemporary customer.
