From recognising standout shopping centres in metros and non-metro regions to awarding professionals who are redefining retail experiences, the awards honoured those who have led the charge in shaping the future of Indian retail. Nexus Elante, Lulu Thiruvananthapuram, Ambuja Neotia, Ambience Mall, Nexus Select Citywalk, Prestige Group, Inorbit Malls, and Phoenix Mills were among the many iconic names celebrated for their outstanding contributions across categories such as sustainability, marketing, smart infrastructure, design, and retail partnerships.
Adding a vibrant and light-hearted close to the celebration, MAPIC India hosted a friendly yet fiercely competitive cricket match on 16 April 2025 in Dwarka, New Delhi. The friendly cricket match brought together developers and retailers off the field and onto the pitch, furthering the spirit of collaboration in a fun and spirited setting. The initiative received an overwhelming response and reaffirmed MAPIC India’s commitment to building a strong, united community within the retail ecosystem.
Speaking on the occasion, Ms. Ashna Gemini Sharan, Portfolio Director of MAPIC India, said, “MAPIC India Shopping Centre Summit & Awards 2025 has always been more than just a summit — it’s a movement that celebrates the strength, resilience, and vision of the retail sector. This year, the awards honoured the champions of change, while our cricket match reminded us that collaboration can be both meaningful and memorable. We’re proud to provide a platform that not only drives industry conversations but also fosters lasting relationships.”
With its successful 2025 edition, MAPIC India continues to solidify its position as the premier platform for the retail and shopping centre fraternity, inspiring innovation, community, and future-forward thinking year after year.
