Malabar Gold & Diamonds is likely to keep adding Mumbai-area mall showrooms, led by discounts.
For strategy teams
Malabar Gold & Diamonds' 1,734 sq ft showroom at Nexus Seawoods Mall shows it is still adding mall-based stores in Navi Mumbai and targeting shoppers aged 25-35, a signal for mall owners and rival jewellers tracking the area's catchment.
Watch
Inaugural offers extended past 15 November would mean Seawoods footfall is short of plan and Malabar is still buying the 25-35 cohort with making-charge cuts.
