Retail Mind Group, a Portugal-headquartered retail and real estate management company, has launched operations in India through its new arm, Retail Mind India. The company aims to support the growth of India’s retail and commercial property sectors by offering global expertise combined with local market understanding.
The India entry is part of Retail Mind Group’s wider international expansion strategy. Through Retail Mind India, the company will assist Indian brands in expanding within the country and exploring overseas markets, while also helping global retailers enter India.
Retail Mind India will provide services across retail expansion, leasing strategy, franchise development, asset management, property management and retail real estate development. The company will also work with developers, property owners and investors on location planning, leasing and mixed-use projects involving retail, hospitality and commercial spaces.
Global Experience, India Focus
Founded in 2012, Retail Mind Group operates across four countries and has undertaken projects in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America. The Group has been involved in more than 2,000 store openings and 1,100 projects across international markets.
The company’s India operations will combine this international experience with local market knowledge. Retail Mind India aims to support investment decisions, business expansion and project execution for brands, developers and investors.
The company believes India’s rising consumption, economic growth and improving infrastructure are creating retail development opportunities beyond major metropolitan areas. Changing consumer preferences and evolving retail formats are also encouraging domestic and international brands to review their expansion strategies.
