In this issue

The Indian Retail Industry is vast and continually reinventing itself
amid changing market conditions. In this evolving scenario, to survive
and establish oneself as a brand, a strong and innovative CEO at the
helm is more important than ever.
To set a company up for a prosperous future, a brand requires a
leader who ensures timely innovation, has good knowledge of the
industry and its trends, has a sharp business and marketing mind and
a vision to take the business ahead, even in tough times.
This CXO level person acts as an anchor for the company and takes
the business to the next level year by year.
In our annual edition of IMAGES Retail, we bring you a
comprehensive list of Retail leaders who are successfully leading
the change and making their brands’ presence felt in the sector. In
an exclusive one-on-one interaction, these stalwarts talk about the
company’s growth, vision as well as the future implementation of this
vision, which will determine the position of the brand by 2030.
Aside from this, the issue brings readers a rich analysis of the
trending Phygital format as well as the impact of the ‘Cash on Delivery’
concept in the e-commerce segment and what it means for business
and consumer acquisition.

pain point for almost every retailer out there – big or small. The feature

discussing the steps which retailers are taking both nationally and
globally to cut losses.
Shifting focus, IMAGES Group is busy working towards creating
