Guwahati, May 26, 2026 - At the forefront of sustainable real estate development, Infinity Group has reaffirmed its commitment to the North Eastern Indian market during the Retailers Association of India (RAI) North East Summit 2026. This prestigious event served as a platform for the company to unveil its ambitious plans, including the introduction of the innovative 'Divinity Mall' concept in Vrindavan and a luxury residential project poised to redefine living in Guwahati.
The RAI North East Summit focused on the evolving consumer landscape in the region, highlighting a sophisticated market that defies outdated stereotypes. A key moment was the panel discussion led by Aninda Das, Vice President of Marketing at Infinity Group, titled 'The Northeast Consumer on Their Own Terms -- Aspiration, Identity, and What They're Actually Buying.' This session provided valuable insights into the aspirations and purchasing behaviors of the modern Northeastern consumer, challenging the notion of a homogeneous market. The panel featured prominent industry figures from Manik Chand Nand Kishore Jewellers, Chandan Retail Pvt. Ltd., and Manju Silk Centre, all of whom contributed to a rich dialogue about cultural identity and consumer preferences.
Panelists emphasized the growing demand for premium, tailored experiences in retail, illustrating how local consumers navigate their cultural identities while engaging with global brands. They dismissed the one-size-fits-all marketing strategies often employed by national retailers, asserting that success in this diverse market hinges on hyper-localized approaches and effective last-mile logistics. Aninda Das encapsulated the discussion by stating, "The Northeast is not a monolithic market; it comprises distinct, unique identities. Understanding what they are 'actually buying' requires a shift from transactional retail to identity-driven experiences." This philosophy of 'contextual retail' is integral to Infinity Group’s approach to real estate development.
In addition to the panel, Mr. Das delivered a compelling presentation titled 'The Great Indian Retailer Story,' which addressed the operational challenges and emotional realities faced by retailers in the region. Using the narrative of Lord Krishna and the sacred land of Vrindavan, he seamlessly introduced the concept of India's first 'One-Stop Divinity Mall.' Strategically situated on the Main Chattikara-Vrindavan Road, this retail destination aims to blend spirituality, lifestyle, and shopping in a unique consumer experience.
As Infinity Group continues to expand its footprint in North Eastern India, its commitment to understanding and catering to the nuanced needs of local consumers positions it as a leader in the evolving real estate landscape. The focus on creating spaces that resonate with cultural identities, while also embracing global influences, reflects a sophisticated understanding of the market's dynamics. This approach not only enhances consumer experiences but also fosters sustainable growth in the region's real estate sector.
