MAPIC India 2026 opened on September 29 at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai, bringing together retailers, developers, investors, brands and technology companies to chart the next phase of India’s retail growth. The two-day event, organised by RX India, concludes today.

The opening day, themed “The India Advantage: Reforms, Retail and Rising Consumption”, focused on India’s expanding consumption economy, evolving retail formats and the growing retail real estate opportunity. The inaugural session brought together senior leaders from Lacoste India, Shoppers Stop, Reliance Retail, L’Osteria, Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail and Nykaa Fashion.

“The India Advantage is no longer simply a forecast,” said Umang Gupta, Country Head of RX India, pointing to real business conversations, partnerships and investments on the floor.

Now in its 22nd edition, MAPIC India has grown from a mall-focused platform into a meeting point for the entire retail ecosystem, where property meets retail, retail meets technology and capital meets opportunity.
