The fashion industry in India is becoming more inclusive towards plus-size women, with a growing number of designers and brands launching plus-size clothing lines.
The change in attitude reflects growing public criticism of fat-shaming and has been aided by public naming and shaming of discriminatory practices by industry watchdogs.
The Indian market for plus-size clothing is estimated at $2 billion per year, and the plus-size segment is projected to reach $696.7 billion globally by 2027. However, some people argue that the newfound inclusivity is little more than tokenism.
