Not all brand are western. There are many local brands also and these hold fairly good share of the market. Example Zodiac, Park Avenue, Charagdin.... In fact these are the brands that started the culture of branded shirt culture in India and western brands pushed it further. Some of the local brands have quality comparable to western brands and some a step lower. But alomost all of these give better look and feel than a tailored shirt.
