Here’s To The New Beginnings…
As we bring another transformative year in retail to a close, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to you, our readers. 2024 has been a year of remarkable innovation and evolution, and it has been our privilege to navigate this journey alongside you — exploring breakthrough strategies, celebrating milestones, and tackling challenges together.
Your unwavering support, engagement, and feedback have been the cornerstone of our efforts to deliver meaningful insights and impactful stories. This commitment from our community enabled us to host two highly successful retail events in November — the 2024 edition of Shopping Centres Next and the co-located India D2C Summit.
Held on the 13th and 14th of November at the Pullman Hotel, Aerocity, this year’s events introduced an exciting new dimension with the theme: “New Age Destinations Anchored by Experiences.” We were thrilled to bring together over 150 speakers, 50 exhibitors, and BD heads from 100+ brands and retailers, including fast-growing D2C brands eager to expand into India’s shopping centres.
Adding to the excitement, the events featured two prestigious award ceremonies — the IMAGES North India Retail Awards (NIRA) and the IMAGES Shopping Centre Awards (ISCA) 2024, celebrating excellence across the retail and shopping centre ecosystem. For a detailed look at these landmark events, don’t miss the December edition of IMAGES Retail, which captures the dynamic discussions and groundbreaking ideas that are shaping the next chapter of shopping centre models in India.
As we also celebrated the milestone of completing 300 stellar editions last month, we are now embarking on an exciting new chapter. Starting in 2025, IMAGES Retail will transition to special issue editions, allowing us to provide in-depth, thematic explorations of the most critical developments and opportunities in the retail industry.
In the new year, we as usual will remain committed to offering you fresh perspectives, inspiring success stories, and thought leadership that empowers your business and the larger retail community. Thank you for being an integral part of our journey. Here’s to a bright and prosperous 2025 filled with innovation, growth, and new opportunities!
