Retail Design Institute Members,
My name is Sanjay Agarwal and I feel honoured to have been elected to the position of President of the newly approved India City Center that will serve India and neighbouring regions. I have dedicated the past 27 years and more to the Indian Retail Design Industry, in retail corporates and design consulting. Recently, bestowed with the ‘Legion of Honour’ by RDI in 2023, has fuelled my passion for retail design and this industry as a whole.
I will strive to see that RDI India not only establishes design excellence in the Indian Retail Industry but be a catalyst for the betterment of retail professions in this growing retail market which the country offers and furthering it to become a body which fosters community growth and helps members acquire knowledge and skills the industry will look for in years to come.
I would also like to introduce Surender G, Vice President of the India City Center.
Hi, I am Surender Gnanolivu and I am privileged to take on the role of Chapter Vice President at the India City Center for the Retail Design Institute. I look forward, with the team, to furthering the Institute's mission of building, evangelizing, and celebrating the domain of retail design in India. I bring with me experience of over two decades in senior management positions responsible for marketing, retail design, store rollouts, and visual merchandising with leading retail companies and a decade as a retail strategy and experience design consultant and enabler for projects in India and overseas. I have been fortunate to have the opportunity of being a part of industry-level bodies like the Retailer's Association of India, Messe Dusseldorf India (for In-store Asia), India Kitchen Congress, Business and Design schools to curate and enable retail events, awards, media content and training. I look forward to new opportunities to work with the accomplished core committee of RDI India, to add enriching value to the retail design domain of India.
As we work to bring this India City Center to life, we have been fortunate to fill board positions and several committee positions with passionate retail professionals in their respective fields.
India was missing RDI and Bangalore is an ideal place for it to start, where immense young design professionals have made it their base in this so-called India’s Silicon Valley. We are excited to build and grow this center to greater heights which will become a torch bearer in the years to come.
Thank You!
