It’s much more than a place to shop now, it’s more of rejuvenation, entertainment and place for spending quality time with friends and families.

Shopping malls have come a long way in India and we are now seeing a resurgence with well-conceived and executed malls that promise long-term business sustainability. The industry has definitely matured with developers learning through trial and error, and coming up with more winning formulas for their malls, and at the same, retailers picking Omni-channel selling route. We will see the great Indian revolution spin into its next cycle of evolution. ISCF is an ideal platform to understand the latest industry trends, share thoughts and deliberate on challenges and opportunities in the Indian market.

A mall should be designed specifically to cater to specific retail needs. It should not just count on retail brands as anchors to drive footfalls. Shopping centres need to pay attention to offering holistic experiences including F&B, events, performances etc. along with shopping experience. The malls should be able to use technology in a way that bridges the digital divide, I think an ideal platform like ISCF allows each of the sectors to interact with each other and learn insights from these specialised areas

Shopping malls are constantly innovating to meet and exceed the expectations of the evolved consumer and at DLF shopping Malls, we are constantly evolving and innovating, making us the first choice for international and homegrown brands to be a part of the group. Creating consumer initiatives and strategies that enhance the overall experience of the consumer is instrumental in raising the benchmark for the Indian retail industry. We believe ISCF is a tremendous platform to meet the top brass of the retail and real estate industry and to also get a better feel of the market”

The latest trends in retail are driven by a combination of evolving technological landscape and shifting preferences of consumers as demographics start to skew younger.

Multi-channel is the new normal & brick-and-mortar stores still play a key role in the sales process by captivating consumers and keeping them engaged. The emergence of virtual reality, augmented reality, and improved mobile technology will continue to push retail brands to add layers and new experiences to their traditional retail models.

ISCF is a good platform to understand the latest trends and adaptions made to make the most of these disruptions

Indian retail is progressing rapidly and a platform like ISCF helps to collaborate with various stakeholders within the retail sector and discuss new trends and views on organized retail. The forum focuses on various aspects like architecture, consumer behaviour, technology etc. I am looking forward to meet my friends and colleagues from the industry and taking up initiatives that address key industry concerns and are aimed at enhancing the ecosystem.
