Addressing this occasion, Kumar Rajagopalan, CEO of the Retailers Association of India (RAI) and a man of vision, impressively alluded to, “Bengaluru is India’s innovation city where young, global citizens, netizens/digital native consumers, & trade retailers are driving to shape what’s next.
He made a strong point of India's demographic dividend, considering that in excess of a third of the nation's population, the median age is below 35 years old, which is quite tech-savvy, and joining the workforce every day puts the city in a good place to test ideas fast making it front and center of India's retail sector.
Again, the city's time-old heritage, its deep cultural roots, and unique craftsmanship in the apparel sector are all well recognized, placing it at the pivotal point to help give retailers a unique playbook.”
