Description
The issue you hold in your hands is very special to the entire team at IMAGEs as it is the 300th edition of IMAGES Retail. The magazine, like the industry it covers, has evolved over the years to help our readers stay on top of their business and updated about the sector.
We celebrate this pivotal milestone with a special focus on North India’s dynamic retail sector. It is also the birthplace of many legendary entrepreneurs who’ve built massive retail businesses — from Biba to Lenskart and from Mohanlal to Haldiram’s, a region known for its entrepreneurial spirit and never-die attitude.
From Delhi to Chandigarh, the region has emerged as a hub for both domestic and international brands, driving growth and innovation in the retail space. This edition delves into key developments reshaping the market, from the rise of experiential shopping formats to the rapid expansion of luxury and e-commerce-driven retail.
Notably, the surge in retail real estate development is transforming cities like Gurugram, Noida, and Lucknow into retail hotspots, with landmark malls and mixed-use complexes offering cutting-edge experiences for consumers. The magazine features some of the retail stars of North India, showcasing their stories of how they have adapted to the changing consumer preferences.
As North India continues to be a vital growth engine for the Indian retail sector, this special issue of *IMAGES Retail* offers valuable insights for stakeholders, from brands to developers, in navigating the region’s unique opportunities and challenges. With its comprehensive analysis, the 300th edition underscores the magazine’s ongoing commitment to tracking and celebrating retail evolution across the country.
