The Sobo Central mall was run by Future Group Promoter Kishore Biyani s firm, and was opened in the late 1990 s. Named as Crossroads Mall, it was one of the preferred destination for shopping and socialising at the time
Kishore Biyani, born into a trading family, defied convention by starting with stonewashed fabric sales, then pioneering Big Bazaar and other retail formats, making him an Indian retail icon.
In an increasingly globalized world, Indian consumers have become used to benefitting from products and services offered by foreign companies. In fact, some of these have become an unavoidable part.
His tale illustrates how those ideas took off because he was quick to conceptualise them. Kishore is the creator of businesses like Future Group, Big Bazaar, and Pantaloon Retail.
