Through initiatives like Urban Fashion Week, Garden City Mall continues to champion local talent while creating meaningful opportunities for brands and businesses to engage with a wider audience.
Under the visionary leadership of Mr Sunny Chawla, the Garden City Mall team has successfully ushered the mall into a new era of retail growth and innovation. By consistently introducing lifestyle-driven projects and community-focused experiences, the team has significantly increased visitor traffic, enhanced brand visibility for retailers and strengthened Garden City Mall’s reputation as one of the South-South’s premier retail and lifestyle destinations.
