Its manufacturing facilities have installed capacity to manufacture 4.80 million footwear uppers and 10.80 million footwear soles annually as on September 30, 2021 .

The manufacturing of shoes is a labor-intensive process. Campus Activewear has achieved a balance between in-house manufacturing and assembly of its products and outsourced manufacturing for key components and laborintensive activities. Its predominantly India based supplier network limits the requirement for imports and dependence on offshore suppliers. This limits its risk of supply chain disruptions and foreign exchange fluctuations, while reducing manufacturing lead times.

Its omnichannel experience is media agnostic, involving, either or both, offline and online interactions, resulting in seamless product discovery, evaluation, purchase and post purchase experience. The company's omnichannel experience involves a strong interplay of its trade distribution channel and D2C channel. Its D2C channel has extensively complemented its trade distribution channel towards extending its pan-India reach.

+ Strong Brand Recognition, Innovative Branding and Marketing Approach: Campus Activewear believes that it has a strong brand that its consumers trust, as evidenced by its leadership position in the sports and athleisure footwear industry in India. Pivoted on style and comfort, its brand aims to generate an optimum blend of aspiration and value proposition for its target consumers seeking quality sports and athleisure footwear in the latest trends and designs at attractive prices.

The company has spent a considerable amount of time conceptualizing and implementing a unique brand awareness and marketing strategy to move from stand-alone trade led marketing to direct-to-consumer marketing. Its marketing and sales efforts spread across multiple touch points where consumers discover its brand and its product offerings. In addition, it has undertaken several special drops and limited edition products over the last three Fiscals and six months ended September 30, 2021 in partnership with online pure play market places such as Flipkart.
