Paresh Mishra, VR Director of Operations of the Western Region, said: "Most of the buying is happening right now in the metros and we, at VR Surat, are changing that by making luxury brands available in Surat – the fastest growing consumer market in the western region. We hope to target all the customers who (are) buying from Mumbai or Delhi or even the Middle East or Western world. The opening of Zara in November is another example of how VR Surat is shaping shopping habits.”
