There are about 475 franchisee-operated outlets of Samsonite, American Tourister and House of Samsonite in the country. The 100-plus stores being shut are owned by its largest franchisee partner Bagzone Lifestyle. The company is promoted by the family of Ramesh Tainwala, former global CEO of Samsonite.
