Accelerating Retail @Scale
In a dynamic landscape where retail is undergoing a profound transformation, the Phygital Retail Convention (PRC) emerged as a beacon of innovation, insight, and collaboration. Held on 7 – 8 May at Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai, PRC stood as the largest retail business intelligence extravaganza ever witnessed in India. With over 3,000 delegates, 200 partners and exhibitors, and representation from over 1000 organizations, the event served as a nexus for industry leaders, visionaries, and stakeholders to converge, exchange ideas, and chart the course for the future of retail. One of the defining features of this year’s PRC was the stellar lineup of speakers. From international leaders like Paul Warren of Reliance BP Mobility and Indian heavyweights like Venkatesalu P of Trent, Kunal Behl of Snapdeal, Harpreet Singh Tibb, of Tibbs Frankie to new-age entrepreneurs like Aastha Almast of The New Shop, the event brought together luminaries who shared invaluable insights and strategies on growing a retail business.
