For those who don’t know you, what or how do you want people to know you as a professional, as an individual and as the Board Member & Executive Director of Dalma Mall? Can you share it briefly? A Board Member & Executive Officer with 15+ years of experience spanning across diversified verticals ranging from holding companies to those engaged in Shopping Malls, Retail Management, Real Estate, Security and Cash Management, NBFCs and other diversified conglomerates. I envisage comprehensive expertise of the global financial marketplace with an astute and informed eye for new opportunities which has now made way for successful forward-thinking investment and spectacular results in all initiatives. I adore the technology and digital sector which is evolving at a rapid pace, enabling faster change and progress, causing an acceleration of the rate of change. With a new influx of digital innovations, brick-andmortar and e-commerce, how does Dalma Mall prepare for this or what can you say about this? To what extent does social media help your company in marketing your services? Digital Innovation, Technology and Artificial intelligence are into leaps and bounds wherein now we are experiencing a whole new virtual world “The Metaverse”. Every industry will henceforth be influenced and adapt to the changing sectorial environments and work towards enhanced business continuity and better returns on investment. However, will need to emphasise the fact that Physical Retail Space is a Consumer Habitat; it will prevail no matter what. Shopping is more to be seen as a pleasure activity and it has its relaxation dimensions. Basically, it’s a combination of Economic and Emotional motives. Digital World thus complements the shopping malls and does not compete with them. Hence, we try to offer to all our customers the right product mix, ample entertainment, films, food with various choices, day to day services and most importantly a place to socialize thereby creating an overall experience for the customers. Our principle is very clear give what the customer wants.
