Reliance Industries, on Tuesday, announced the opening of Jio World Plaza in Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) area. This opens to the public on November 1 as what the company calls “an immersive retail destination for top-end, global standard shopping and entertainment experiences in India”.
The Plaza integrates with the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC), the Jio World Convention Centre and the Jio World Garden, making it an all-encompassing destination for visitors.
Touted as India's largest luxury retail destination, the Plaza spans four levels across 7,50,000 square feet area with 66 luxury brands. Notable international newcomers to the Indian market include Balenciaga, the Giorgio Armani Café, Pottery Barn Kids, Samsung Experience Centre, EL&N Café, and Rimowa.
With this, Mumbai also welcomes its first stores of Valentino, Tory Burch, YSL, Versace, Tiffany, Ladurée, and Pottery Barn, while key flagships include other iconic brands like Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Cartier, Bally, Giorgio Armani, Dior, YSL, and Bulgari.
JWP will also be home to renowned designers like Manish Malhotra, Abu Jani-Sandeep Khosla, Rahul Mishra, Falguni and Shane Peacock, and Ri By Ritu Kumar, among others, the company said in a statement.
“Our envisioning of the Jio World Plaza is aimed at bringing the best global brands to India as well as highlighting the prowess and craftsmanship of top Indian brands; and hence create a very unique retail experience. Our pursuit of excellence, innovation, and enhancing customer experience continues to propel us in every venture," Isha M Ambani, Director, Reliance Industries Limited, said.
The Plaza encompasses a contemporary sculpture by Jitish Kallat welcoming visitors on the first level and also has entertainment offerings on the third level, which include a multiplex theatre and a well-curated gourmet food emporium along with world-class restaurants.
The Plaza will also provide services like personal shopping assistance, VIP concierge, taxi-on-call, wheelchair services, hands-free shopping with baggage drop, butler service, and baby strollers.
"The Jio World Plaza is more than a retail destination; it's an embodiment of aesthetics, culture, and leisure," Isha Ambani added.
According to a statement from the company, the Plaza's structure, inspired by the lotus flower and other elements of nature, has been brought to life through a collaboration between TVS, an international architecture and design firm headquartered in the United States, and the Reliance team.
