Retailers and developers – they are wooing each other, warring with each other, but can not do without each other. Good retailer–developer relationships become an invaluable strength for the both of them, and become bedrock for the growth of Shopping Centres. While this relationship has long track records globally, and has matured to become unbreakable bonds, the nascence of the industry in India throws the challenge of discovering and understanding each other’s needs, developing respect for each other’s businesses and becoming partners in progress. In an open house conclave, leaders from each side come together and speak openly about the other side, their issues, concerns, desires and experiences, to pave the way for a deeper understanding and respect for each other.
