Rated as the fifth most attractive emerging market, Retail in India is undergoing dramatic changes. Whilst it has been great fun for consumers shopping in malls and visiting multiplexes and entertainment zones, this period of transformation has been a challenging time for the business of retailing. On one hand, new players have been struggling to find a pan-India format, and on the other, the traditional retailers have been pushed to keep pace with the new evolving formats.
The resultant competition has thrown up the proverbial leaders and learners. Thus, identifying the need for rewarding success in retail, IMAGES announced the launch of IMAGES RETAIL AWARDS (IRA) in 2004.
At the third edition of the IMAGES RETAIL AWARDS in 2006, the saga takes on epic proportions. Bigger and broader in coverage, influence and attendance, it is your opportunity to meet with the stars of India Retail Inc. under the spotlight, and also to gauge the width and depth of one of the world’s most powerful retail economies.
IMAGES RETAIL AWARDS will felicitate India's top retail companies, professionals and their concepts in grand style. The evening will be a spectacular corporate ceremony with high gloss entertainment by celebrities, and award presentations by business leaders and dignitaries. The IRA selection process involves a nationwide consumer & industry poll and nominations followed by performance assessment by IRA team of analysts and jury.
