Family entertainment centres in India have gaps that need to be addressed

India's family entertainment centres (FECs) or amusement parks space has a major gap that needs to be addressed, and all global players would want to come to the country since it's the only major economy that is seeing sizeable growth, said SK Sayal, managing director and chief executive officer (MD&CEO) of Bharti Real Estate, which is developing India's largest mall with 3 million square feet (msf) in Aerocity, Delhi, having an indoor entertainment space of 300,000 square feet.

In an exclusive conversation with Business Standard, the top executive said that while many luxury and high-street food and retail players as well as major retail giants were keen to take up space in the mall, the company was also in discussions with many global players for the indoor entertainment area.

However, he noted that the real estate development arm of the Bharti group will not venture into managing the amusement parks or go into joint development.
