    Consumption growth across Phoenix Malls has been very strong. It has grown by 60% YoY to Rs 40.4 billion

    in FY2014, up rom Rs 25.3 billion in FY2013. Teabsolute value o total consumption in our Malls ishigher than most pan-India retailers and comparableto mid-sized FMCG companies. Te exciting part isthat our Malls are still in a rapid growth stage and this

    renzied growth is expected to continue or the next3-4 years be ore we stabilize in the low double-digits.In FY2015, we expect the momentum to continue andproject our consumption growth to be in the region o30% across our Mall business.

    Consumption across all categories has witnessed stronggrowth which is a testament to the leadership positiono the Phoenix Malls. Te largest categories, such asApparels & Fashion and Hypermarkets & Departmentstores, have grown by over 45% on a YoY basis. Tehighest growth category has been witnessed acrossJewellery which has increased by 172% YoY, drivenby new-store openings and strong same-store-salesgrowth across the category.

    rading density (consumption per square eet o

    carpet area) increased by 17% on an average across allthe Malls. Tis growth has been during a challengingenvironment that witnessed most retailers acing a ator negative same-store-sales growth. It revalidates theskills o the Mall team at each o our retail assets.

    A strong consumption growth positions Te PhoenixMills Limited (PML) per ectly to clock double-

    digit growth in rental income. While all stores pay aguaranteed rent, beyond a threshold consumption persquare eet, they start paying rentals on a percentageo sales/turnover o the store. Te Phoenix Malls arethereafer trans ormed rom being a play on the realestate to that on the organized retail consumption story.

    Te demographic-led consumption story makesa strong case or India with almost 58% o GDPconsumed internally. Consumption is one o the keythemes driving a vibrant economy. Strong internal

    demand has kept India going asthis is resilient to economiccycles. Te geographicpattern o Indias income andconsumption growth is astshifing. Te luxury goodsmarket is taking aspirationalspending to its naturalconclusion,even asdiscretionary

    spending isrising byleaps andbounds.

With Indiahaving become the 12th largest dollar economy, it is also on its wayto become the 5th largest consumer market by 2025, according tothe McKinsey Global Institute (MGI). Te huge Indian middle classis emerging as the big orce. Aggregate consumption in real terms isexpected to grow rom Rs 17 trillion today to Rs 70 trillion by 2025.Our consumption level is seen equalling that o Italy by 2015 andGermany by 2025.

    Consumerism is slowly getting embedded into the Indian cultureand is undoubtedly one o the dominant economic themes o the21st century. In India, consumption patterns are already changing.As disposable incomes grow, there is an allure o having the coolest

    Youve been credited or being the visionary o this company.Where have you reached in 2014 with your vision?Tats a great question and to answer it I must throw light on our journeyand place our position today in perspective. We have always believed thatto achieve something extraordinary, one has to be an innovator, a pioneer,a lateral thinker. From a legacy o once being a blue-chip textile mill in thesuburbs o old Bombay, we success ully reinvented ourselves into a highly visited retail-led destination by truly understanding the needs o modernMumbai. We became early believers in the consumption story o India andit was rom this out-o -the-box thinking that High Street Phoenix (HSP)was born - out o a need to diversi y away rom a mills business in its twilightyears. In doing so, we became one o Indias rst mixed use consumptioncentres, covering 3.0 million sq. f. o retail, hospitality, commercial, parkingand residential complexes. I am told by many that it is regarded as Mumbaispremier li estyle destination today.

    With this experience behind us, we were even more convinced that Indiasconsumption story was being rede ned by changing li estyle and spendingbehaviour o urban India. In 2009, we introduced what was probably Indias

    rst premium brands mall - Te Palladium, setting new standards in exclusiveand luxury retail experience. oday, both HSP and Palladium together muster

    oot alls o 20 million a year!

    What ollowed was indeed unprecedented. Even be ore delivering Palladium,we had embarked on a journey o concurrently establishing 4 Marketcities- our home-grown mixed-use ormat. With parallel delivery o large-scaleprojects, which is a big eat in itsel , we showcased our capabilities to themarketplace. With all the 4 Marketcities delivered by FY2013 and showing a

    ull years operating results in FY2014, we believe that we are at the ore rontin owning and operating retail-led mixed-use destination assets. We alsothink that our Marketcity ranchise has been both path-breaking and iconicin the Indian context. Tey have evolved out o our obsession with quality.Weve attracted superior quality retailers; we maximised the spend on captive

    oot alls within a destination; weve produced a more wholesome social abricto become highly enjoyable destinations.

    Weve indeed come a long way since we started out. In act, I wouldgo so ar in saying that today, with FY2014 behind us, I believe that

    we have attained the Pole Position as a player within the consumptionbased industry o India.

    Can you explain what you mean by Pole Position?Sure. In the literal sense, having a pole position means that you areadvantageously placed amongst your peers or a competitive eventabout to take place. But one must earn the pole position by provingthe best per ormer in earlier event runs. Similarly, I believe that we toohave earned our Pole Position by accomplishing several eats to date.

    Firstly, we have been witnessing consistent oot all growth and

    impressive demand rom our retailers. We are currently home to 1,900stores o all shapes and sizes, comprising o leading international anddomestic brands. We have several leading retail brands that are on thewaiting list or space, giving us the opportunity or a healthy brandchurn.

    Secondly, we have positively contributed to the consumptionlandscape in each city we have a presence in. We are now marketleaders in important ier 1 cities, in terms o aggregate oot alls andgross sales at each o our malls. Even in terms o the total F&B spendacross all our locations, our numbers may possibly rival even somewell-respected F&B ocussed companies in India.

    Tirdly, our malls are considered to be amongst the most productiveshopping centres in their respective locations, with our salessurpassing all other malls in the cities we are located in. What setsour assets apart is the authentic environment. Tey are an idealblend o shopping, eating and entertainment shoppertainment.Developed in contemporary style, our malls present a high-qualityshopping environment with a bouquet o value propositions value

    or time, value or quality and value or experience. Tat is probablywhy consumers choose our malls as pre erred destinations to spendtheir time. As a result o this sheer success o our oot alls and trade

    density numbers, we are able to earn better than normal premiums onour rentals. I I were to extrapolate our HSP experience across all ourMarketcity properties, I anticipate that our rental revenues may doubleevery three to our years.

    Fourthly, in FY2014 alone, we witnessed a surge o approximately 60%in consumer spend across all malls on a year on year basis. I suspectthat such aggressive growth numbers may continue over the next ew

    I I were toextrapolate our HSPexperience acrossall our Marketcityproperties, Ianticipate that ourrental revenues maydouble every threeto our years.
