High Street Malls Gain Popularity Among Retailers, Here’s Why

5th July 2024  New Delhi, Delhi, India  Amidst the increasing number of ghost shopping malls in the country, there’s positive news surrounding the high street malls. High street malls are becoming a favored destination for retailers due to the rapid opening of new stores. Recently released data from Knight Frank states that high street malls earned an average of INR 30,893 per square foot in 2023. The potential consumption in 58 high street malls across 29 cities is estimated to exceed INR 2500 crores. Potential consumption per square meter in high streets is 238% higher than operation shopping centers in 29 cities, mainly due to high commercial density in some categories that only perform better in high street malls.

Large shopping malls, with an area of over five lakh square feet, are not without their challenges. The number of vacant shops there has seen a modest increase of five percent. However, high-street malls are making their mark in retail, contributing 29% to the sector. Their unique offerings and vibrant atmosphere are drawing in retailers and customers alike. Food and beverages follow closely with an 18% contribution.

Mr. Ajendra Singh, Vice President at Spectrum@Metro stated, “High-street malls are an important aspect of urban life, often preferred by traditional buyers. Many retail high-street locations are now making substantial efforts towards urban revitalization, especially in tier 1 cities. In the future, new infrastructure will further strengthen the revival of major high-street malls and enhance the major locations.”

Moreover, a commercial high street is a key component of a successful business, and it’s increasingly popular among retail businesses looking to expand or relocate. There are many benefits of commercial high streets over shopping malls. The first thing that comes to mind when considering investing in a commercial high street is its ability to attract more customers and increase profits for your business. Regarding infrastructure, commercial high street comprises multiple entry and exit points, providing easy access to visitors within the high street. This can be seen by comparing shopping malls with commercial high streets. While both offer similar services, such as retail stores and restaurants, but with different layouts, commercial high streets allow more footfall per square foot than their counterparts.

Another important factor is that commercial high streets are becoming increasingly popular because of their low-maintenance nature, as shopping malls close and are threatened by rising rent. While many people may think of high streets as a place for local shops, they can also be used by businesses looking to attract customers. Hence, the main benefit of commercial high streets is that they offer more choices than shopping malls. Visitors can explore endless options from smaller to bigger brands under one roof and have more options when making purchase decisions (or browsing). Not only does this help ensure that each customer gets exactly what they want, but it also helps ensure that all parties involved get what they need from these premises-whether it’s convenience or value for money.

Furthermore, businesses can access a wide range of customers in a small area on commercial high streets. This is because many different types of businesses can be found on-site. The accessibility of these services means you can reach out to customers who may not usually visit your store or service them in ways they wouldn’t normally consider. This means that if you have a shop on a high street, more people will walk past it than in a shopping mall or out-of-town retail outlet. This means that when someone sees their favorite brand on display at one of these locations, they’ll want to stop by for a quick look around!

In addition, commercial high streets are also close to transport links, making it easier for customers to reach by car or public transport. The commercial high street also has more parking spaces than shopping malls, so if you have many customers coming into your store, then parking can be more accessible for them.

Thus, the success of high-street is exponentially increasing with urban trends. As infrastructure developments continue to support these commercial hubs, high-street malls are set to play an increasingly vital role in the retail sector. They provide a unique blend of traditional shopping experiences and modern conveniences, ensuring they remain attractive for retailers and consumers.

USSEC’s Pitch2Fork Spotlights Startups Leading in Protein Innovation

5th July 2024  Dubai, United Arab Emirates  Right to Protein powered by the U.S. Soybean Export Council (USSEC) hosted its second Pitch2Fork program in Dubai, UAE. With a focus on innovations in the protein industry, this platform provided a unique opportunity for entrepreneurs across Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan to pitch their rising businesses to a panel of investors. Shortlisted companies that leveraged this unique opportunity included Gladful, Hello Tempayy, Poulta, and WeGro.

While South Asia ranks as the fastest-growing region in the world, it is challenged with meeting the rapidly growing demand for protein. Reflecting on the potential impact of Pitch2Fork, Kevin Roepke, Regional Director of South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa (SAASSA), USSEC, commented, “Pitch2Fork is strategically positioned to facilitate the networking needed between startups and investors, accelerating innovation. By embracing disruption, proactively investing in the future, and addressing protein challenges, we create a path towards a more nutrition-secure tomorrow.”

Hello Tempayy, an innovative Indian start-up reshaping tempeh production was awarded the Pitch2Fork 2024 trophy for ‘Protein Start-up of the Year.’ With their user-friendly and flavorful offerings, Hello Tempayy is expanding the array of soy-based protein options available to consumers in India. On seeing the value of winning the title, Hello Tempayy’s Cofounder and Nutritionist, Malavika Siddharth, from India added, “As a nutritionist, I witness the effects of protein deficiencies on an individual’s health on a regular basis. That’s why we founded Hello Tempayy – to bridge this gap. Platforms like Pitch2fork present an invaluable opportunity to amplify our mission to raise awareness and offer nutritious and delicious high-quality protein options.”

Providing insight on their experience as a nominee in Pitch2Fork from Pakistan’s poultry segment, Khushbakht Ashraf, GM of Global Sales and Marketing, at Poulta added “Presenting Poulta’s innovative solutions for traceability, vertical integration, and data-driven decision-making in front of such a great audience was an immensely valuable experience. We are committed to farm-to-fork traceability while maximizing the production of protein and this perfectly resonates with USSEC and its mission. It has been a pleasure to network and connect and discuss future collaborations and partnerships for increasing awareness of protein.”

Md Mahmudur Rahman, Founder of WeGro, another nominee from Bangladesh’s Agri-tech sector added, “At WeGro, we empower farmers by providing access to finance, inputs, and markets. We acknowledge Pitch2Fork as an excellent platform that celebrates innovative solutions addressing the protein gap for a more sustainable future.”

Attendees were inspired by the triumph of Agroshift, an agritech startup from Bangladesh and the Winner of Pitch2Fork 2022. Agroshift operates as an omnichannel agri-supply chain platform that helps farmers sell their goods to businesses and consumers enabling fair pricing and better market access with increased affordability, quality, and convenience to buyers through its micro-fulfillment distribution network.

Pitch2Fork’s renowned speaker lineup included Janna Fritz, Vice Chair, USSEC; Henry Gordon-Smith, Founder and CEO at Agritecture; Roma Roy Choudhury, Founder & COO at Evolved Foods; Deeba Giannoulis, Regional Head of U.S. Soy Sustainability and Marketing at USSEC-SAASSA; and Roberto Vitón, Founder and Managing Director from Valoral Advisors.

U.S. Soy has been at the forefront of innovation and sustainability – continuously improving to deliver solutions to its customers across the globe. With a commitment to nourishing the world sustainably, U.S. soybean farmers support platforms like Pitch2Fork and deliver solutions like the Soy Value Oil Calculator, Specialty U.S. Soy Database, In-Pond Raceway Systems (IPRS), the International Aquaculture Feed Formulation Database (IAFDD) and the Soy Excellence Centers to name a few.

2024: Real-estate Boom in Tier-2 & Tier-3 Cities

5th July 2024  Delhi, India  In recent years, the Indian real estate market has undergone a remarkable transformation, particularly in the luxury housing segment. Factors such as rising incomes, growing aspirations for upscale living, and the premiumization trend have fueled a surge in demand for luxury properties. This boom is further propelled by the shortage of luxury apartments in prime locations and the preference for modern amenities and exclusivity.

In the latest luxury housing segment, this boom is vividly illustrated by the success of numerous luxury projects near the capital. Consisting of more premium homes, the projects sold out in just days, with a quarter purchased by non-resident Indians (NRIs). This highlights the increasing role of NRIs in the luxury housing market, with their contribution accounting for nearly a fourth of total residential sales at large developers.

Meanwhile, in Tier-2 cities like Chandigarh’s Tricity, Lucknow, Nagpur, and Surat, a different narrative unfolds. These cities are experiencing significant growth across diverse industries, presenting lucrative opportunities for real estate investors and developers.

Prateek Mittal, Executive Director of Sushma Group, emphasizes the importance of understanding the dynamics of these emerging markets: “Cities like Chandigarh’s Tricity, Ludhiana, Lucknow, Nagpur, and Zirakpur are emerging as hotspots for real estate investment, driven by diverse industries. The increased income and desire for a lavish lifestyle is inspiring more inclination towards Holiday homes and premium residential properties. Our focus has always been to create premium quality products that cater to the growing aspirations of the buyers.”

Investors are eyeing properties beyond metro cities for their potential returns. However, it’s crucial to mitigate risks through meticulous due diligence. Motiaz emphasizes transparency in projects to ensure investor confidence.

Mukul Bansal, Managing Director of Motia Group, stresses the importance of due diligence in mitigating risks associated with investments outside metro cities: “As urban landscapes evolve, Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities emerge as the new frontier for luxury real estate, offering unparalleled opportunities for growth and investment. We emphasize transparency and legal compliance at the same time top notch quality in all our projects to ensure investor confidence.”

Royale Estate Group, emphasizes market research’s pivotal role in tapping into Tier-2 cities’ growth potential, to meet urbanization demands, ensuring alignment with market dynamics.

Piyush Kansal, Executive Director of Royale Estate Group, highlights the role of market research in identifying promising opportunities: “The growth trajectory of Tier-2 cities presents lucrative opportunities for real estate developers. We’re leveraging insights from industry reports by JLL, Anarock, and Knight Frank to identify promising markets and tailor our projects to meet the evolving demands of urbanization.”

Highlighting sustainable development’s role in building vibrant communities amid Tier-2 cities’ industrial and urban growth. Gillco Group pioneers sustainable practices for luxurious properties.

Tejpreet Singh, Managing Director of Gillco Group, underscores the importance of sustainable development in creating vibrant communities: “As Tier-2 cities witness rapid industrialization and urbanization, there’s a surge in demand for luxurious residential and commercial properties. At Gillco Group, we’re pioneering sustainable development practices to create vibrant communities that align with the long-term vision of these burgeoning cities.”

In this landscape of evolving market dynamics, the luxury real estate sector in India is not only witnessing unprecedented growth but also a shift towards Tier-2 cities, where the fusion of luxury living and sustainable development is shaping the future of urban living.

Gary Cahill is a prominent figure in the world of football, known for his distinguished career as a defender for Chelsea Football Club and the English national team. With numerous accolades to his name, including multiple Premier League titles and a UEFA Champions League triumph, Cahill’s contributions have left an indelible mark on the sport.

Held on May 1st, the interview was expertly hosted by Drog BABA, a popular football-centric content creator. The session was split into three parts: questions from the host, a thrilling “Never Have I Ever” game, and questions from Parimatch’s Instagram followers.

Gary shared insights into his post-retirement endeavors, emphasizing the importance of spending time with family and exploring life beyond the pitch. Reflecting on his football journey, Gary shared invaluable life lessons, highlighting the importance of consistency and dedication in one’s pursuits:

“My life lesson is to dedicate and work hard to achieve your goals. When you see something that you really want, you focus on it. You work, you learn, you sacrifice to be where you want to be…but also, I think it’s important to keep your ears open, listen, and learn enough from people who know more than you: coaches, and players. And see how they have gotten to where they are.”

As the conversation delved deeper, Gary discussed the pivotal factors he believed contributed to Chelsea’s success, as well as his secret to reaching the top:

“Team spirit was a big factor in our success. I think it’s a whole package: it’s the quality of players, people who are driven to raise standards all the time, and its consistency levels. Day in and day out, week in and week out. It’s not one thing, it’s a package: we had good managers at that time, José and Antonio, two well-established respected managers; and we had a squad of brilliant international football players with a strong mentality.”

Throughout the conversation, Gary also opened up to Drog BABA about his favorite career goal and the emotions he experienced while scoring it. Additionally, he revealed some of the pre-match rituals he adhered to before games and shared his thoughts on who might win the upcoming Chelsea vs. Brighton match scheduled for May 15th.
