everything happens for a reason friends... today we look at an India which is growing by leaps and bounds... and in such a country where the PPP is rising, turning up of new malls in cities is quite justified. taking an example of chandigarh, the sales of Fun Republic have gone down considerably, after the arrival of Central Mall. and for that matter 2 more (Bella Vista and Shalimar) are coming up in Panchkula. would you say that the income of the malls will get divided. to a little extent, yes.
But the major source of the income is not sales, but the advertisements of various brands. And these malls make major contribution to the GDP of our country...
