Introducing India Curated: The Moodie Davitt Report extends focus on India’s dynamic travel retail market

INDIA. The Moodie Davitt Report has today launched India Curated, strengthening our global + local market focus and enhancing coverage of the Indian travel retail and airport non-aeronautical sectors.

As the latest addition to our growing portfolio of Curated newsletters, India Curated reflects our commitment to delivering market-specific insights and deepening engagement with key regions {For your complimentary subscription to India Curated, please email Kristyn@MoodieDavittReport.com headed India Curated}.

“Our extensive coverage of the Indian airport commercial revenues market has been a hallmark of our publication over recent years and we are underlining that commitment with the launch of India Curated,” said The Moodie Davitt Report Founder & Chairman Martin Moodie.

“The qualitative improvement in Indian airport retailing, food & beverage and lounge standards over recent years has been astounding and we are therefore committing more resources to our coverage to track this qualitative revolution.

“My recent visit to Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru, for example, inspired me in the way the leadership is seeking not to create a good airport but a great one.”

The Moodie Davitt Report has been the sole travel retail title to visit India multiple times over the past decade and a half, including our memorable running of The Trinity Forum in Mumbai in 2016

For India Curated’s first edition, we have shortlisted stories that highlight key milestones and trends shaping the industry. Delhi Duty Free kicks off the issue with its 14th anniversary celebrations, hosted in collaboration with Suntory Global Spirits to mark the launch of the Kogei Collection.

Meanwhile, Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru is in the spotlight with the launch of its new anthem, highlighting the cultural vibrancy present at India’s busiest travel hubs.

Look out for a series of features on Kempegowda’s extraordinary Terminal 2 and its operator Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) in the next two editions of The Moodie Davitt Magazine publishing this week and late September, starting with an interview by Martin Moodie with CEO Hari Marar (below, left and right).

Our Ospree Duty Free case study delves into the company’s 2023/24 financial year as it stakes claim to be the world’s fastest-growing travel retailer.

On the forecasting front, Airport Dimensions has predicted a +16% increase in Indian travel frequency, double the global average – underscoring India’s role as a burgeoning travel market.  

On 20 March this year, The Moodie Davitt Report was the first to reveal that Mumbai Travel Retail Private Limited, the joint venture between Adani Airport Holdings and Flemingo Travel Retail, had rebranded its retail business under the Ospree name. Pictured left to right just before the big announcement are The Moodie Davitt Report Founder & Chairman Martin Moodie with Ospree CEO Avishek Bambii Das and Flemingo Founder & CEO Atul Ahuja.
