Way Forward 22
Malls started coming up in the top Indian cities like Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai.
There was a novelty factor attached with shopping malls which led to decent footfall
right from the beginning.
The retail sector started growing at a rapid pace, and with an increase in spending
capacity among consumers, developers started sensing an opportunity and
developed malls. This led to an increase in the number of malls.
Consumers had the luxury of fulfilling all of their shopping needs – primarily Apparel,
Accessories, Food & Beverage, Electronics, etc – in air-conditioned spaces. The mall
also became a popular hang-out spot for families and youngsters alike.
‘Entertainment’ as a concept did not exist in the malls yet, which is why the older malls
are seen without any provision for cinemas and entertainment centres.
Multiplexes emerged in the first half of the 2000s after which they started occupying
space in the malls, offering a new experience to people and generating more footfall.
In 2011, net supply of malls reached a high after which there was a rationalisation in
supply in the next few years. From 2012-15, similar levels of absorption and supply
were seen.
In the past couple of years, mall management has evolved and is more focused
on experiential retail. More international brands have entered, the number of
promotional activities and events in the malls have increased, and there are also pop-
up stores to generate interest among people.

CASE STUDY 1:
Viviana Mall, Thane
• In 2013, the entry of Viviana mall in Thane threatened the dominance of Korum mall which is almost half the size of
Viviana and only about a kilometer away.
• Korum responded well when its tenant mix improved by adding more F&B options. The mall brought-in Starbucks,
Burger King, and theme restaurants like Copper Pan, Woking Mama, and Panchvati Gaurav on the second floor.
• Proportion of F&B in the mall went up to 15-20% from 10-15%
• Thane market has now absorbed both the malls well. Both Korum and Viviana, are now doing good business.

CASE STUDY:
Xperia, Palava
• Xperia mall came into the picture in mid-2016 with much grandeur from one of the leading Real estate developers. Despite
being located in Dombivali (east) - one of the far off suburbs of Mumbai, the mall continues to transcend success with a high
footfall, primarily guaranteed by the fact that the mall is a part of a township.
• The mall adopted several anchors to make its presence felt. Various prominent brands like Van Heusen, Peter England, PVR
Cinemas, Big Bazaar, Reliance Digital, Reliance Trends and Timezone were introduced. This generated high walk-ins - both
shoppers and window shoppers.
• Since many customers visit the mall primarily for food and entertainment, Xperia kept the proportion of F&B retail high. It has a
well maintained foodcourt with a bright decor and a good mix of F&B options.

A prevailing perception is that malls cannot co-exist successfully. 3 malls in Mumbai – Infiniti, Oberoi and Inorbit - have realised the
