Rated as the foremost emerging market for global retailers, the business of retail in India is undergoing dramatic shifts. While it has been great fun for consumers shopping in malls and visiting multiplexes and entertainment zones, the current period of transformation has been a challenging time for the business itself. On one hand, new players have been relentless about establishing a pan-India format; and on the other, traditional retailers have been pushed to keep pace with the new evolving formats.

The environment is invigorating, and the competition, very, very tough! Inevitably, there is a new breed of leaders and learners who, while creating their own niches in the business, are helping shape the business for good.

Identifying the need for acknowledging and rewarding success in retail, IMAGES instituted IMAGES RETAIL AWARDS (IRA) in 2004. At the fourth edition of IMAGES RETAIL AWARDS in 2007, the saga takes on epic proportions. Better, bigger and broader in coverage and attendance, it is an occasion to confab with the stars of India Retail Inc. under the spotlight, as also to appreciate the width and depth of one of the world's most potent retail economies.

IMAGES RETAIL AWARDS will felicitate India's top retail companies, professionals and concepts. The evening will be a grand corporate ceremony with award presentations by business leaders and dignitaries, and high-gloss entertainment by celebrities. The IRA selection process follows a nationwide consumer and industry poll and nominations, backed up with performance assessment by an IRA team of analysts and jury.
