In an industry like retail real estate that is riddled with gender stereotypes, Pushpa Bector is a renowned name. She has been the driving force for DLF malls, the real estate giant which has been the pioneer of retail revolution in India.
Pushpa Bector joined DLF Ltd. to expand food courts in its malls. Almost 17 years later, Bector is in-charge of not just running the half a dozen DLF malls but also expanding the New Delhi-based real estate giant's presence into newer markets.
Backed by more than two decades of business management experience, Bector's executive leadership and management skills have played a significant role in DLF becoming a force to reckon with in India's shopping centre space. Over the years, Bector has set new benchmarks for the industry and stands tall as a torchbearer for women in leadership roles, especially in retail.
Before entering retail, Bector was associated with the hospitality and food and beverage (F&B) industry. She started her career with Oberoi Group of hotels and was part of the prestigious Oberoi Centre of Learning and Development (OCLD) programme. She later joined Jubilant FoodWorks as marketing head. She was part of the team that launched the master franchisee's brands in North, West and South India. The experience in hospitality and F&B complemented Bector's career in retail. It taught her more about the nuances of giving quality focus to the consumer and to understand the impact of retail on society. Witnessing the drift of change in the Indian consumer behaviour, was enough for her to choose retail.
