About ZARA
Corporate Overview & History
Zara, founded in 1975 by Amancio Ortega and Rosalía Mera in the small town of La Coruña, Spain, is the flagship brand of Inditex – the world’s largest fashion retailer. From a single store, Zara grew into a global network of more than 2,000 stores across 96 markets, offering fast‑fashion apparel for women, men, teens and children. The brand’s DNA is built on rapid design‑to‑store cycles, vertical integration, and a relentless focus on customer trends. Zara entered India in 2010 through a joint venture with Tata Group’s retail arm, Tata Trent, and now operates over 100 stores in major metros and tier‑2 cities, supported by a dedicated supply‑chain hub in Gurgaon.
