Timezone: An International Gaming Experience In Indian Malls

No mall today can afford to stand tall with just a bouquet of retail brands and a handful of dining options. Entertainment has become an integral part of malls along with shopping and food. Entertainment centers, entertainment, and destination venues, once of little significance to shopping centers and malls, are now growing in importance as an essential part of the mix in order to attract today’s consumer.

Cashing in on the ever-expanding opportunity, Timezone–a leading family entertainment center is known for its high octane interactive arcade games for families and kids – entered India in 2004 to offer world-class family entertainment options. And since then there has been no looking back.

“Timezone has been in business for more than 40 years. If you look at our history, we were into manufacturing of games. Following this business, we realized that we can convert this expertise into an experience. We started in Australia, which is home to our promoters. Then a couple of decades later, we expanded to Asia Pacific markets and later to Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore and then to India in 2004. In 2017, we expanded operations to Vietnam,” says Sonaal Chopra, Group CEO, Timezone.
