"After firmly
establishing
ourselves in the
challenging and
highly
competitive
retail landscape
of the Middle
East, Lulu
Shopping Mall,
Yusuffali M.A.
Managing Director
Kochi is our
first retail
venture in the booming Indian Market.
Even though Lulu never had a retail
presence in India, the brand is very
well known to Indians, thanks to the
large Indian Diaspora residing and
travelling to the Middle East,
especially the Keralites. So we think
Kochi as our launch location is a great
advantage to us and the response we
have been receiving from both, brands
and other residents here is
phenomenal and we are leaving no
stones unturned to make this the the
ultimate shopping and leisure
destination in Indian."
