To achieve this, the Department of Industries & Commerce is embarking on a significant initiative to prepare customized transformational roadmaps for key industrial sectors of Punjab. This effort is designed to be truly collaborative and impactful, built upon extensive consultations with the industry stakeholders.

The retail landscape in Punjab is undergoing a transformative shift, driven by evolving consumer aspirations and the need for more experiential, community-centric spaces. I look forward to contributing meaningfully to this journey and helping shape a more vibrant, organised, and future-ready retail ecosystem across Punjab.”
Umang’s appointment comes at a time when Punjab’s urban centers are witnessing a growing demand for curated retail experiences. The announcement marks a proud moment for the real estate fraternity, acknowledging Umang’s progressive leadership and unwavering commitment to organized growth in the region.
