Shopping Centres and Retailers to Collaborate to Build India’s Consumption Story

Retail is all about consumerism and the shopping centre industry is the key driver of consumerism in India. My belief is that modern retail drives consumption and that malls are pillars that power this drive seamlessly. However, I also believe that consumerism in India has not scaled up to the level it could have gone up to and the onset of the pandemic stunted this growth on a global scale.

Ushering in the New Year with lots of positivity, hopes, renewed energy and prospects, we are eyeing retail real estate in a new way. In this year, once again the industry will have certain promises, goals and missions to take on. Re-building the consumption story of Indian retail is one of them and shopping centres will play a very signifi cant role in this journey. In this fi rst edition of 2022, we bring our readers an exclusive interaction with the captains of shopping malls across India. We wanted to know how they are eyeing for growth this year, what their strategy to stay closer to the customer is and how they are implementing technology and learning from the past year to make it count this year.
