Ingka Centres unveils Lykli, a retail social & entertainment destination

Ingka Centres, a leading player in commercial real estate, has announced the launch of its new brand, Lykli, which aims to revolutionize the shopping industry by creating innovative meeting places. With the retail landscape in India undergoing a significant transformation, the introduction of Lykli is set to cater to the growing demand for immersive shopping experiences and a diverse range of offerings under one roof.

Anna Larsen, Global Marketing Manager for Ingka Centres, explains, "Shopping malls have traditionally been viewed as mere places to shop. Ingka Centres' immersive experiences challenge this outdated concept and transform shopping malls into destinations where people can recharge, play, build emotional connections, and foster community. Lykli will embody this promise in a unique way that resonates with the people of Gurugram."

Derived from the Swedish word "lycklig," meaning "happy," the name Lykli captures the essence of the brand. The first Lykli meeting place is scheduled to open in late 2025 in Gurugram, New Delhi, and will be anchored by IKEA. It has been meticulously designed to cater to local needs, offering a vibrant blend of dining, entertainment, and a diverse selection of both global and local retail brands. Additionally, the meeting place will feature high-class office facilities and spaces for community events. PVR Limited has already been confirmed as the first tenant, operating a nine-screen movie multiplex to enhance the leisure offerings at Lykli Gurugram.

Lykli Gurugram aims to foster a sense of community and prioritize the well-being of the bustling population of over two million individuals in Gurugram. The meeting place will provide spaces that encourage relaxation and support mental and physical wellness. By addressing these specific needs, Lykli aims to build a supportive community that caters to the holistic well-being of its local population.

In line with the increasing consciousness around sustainability, Lykli Gurugram will set the standard for sustainable mixed-use destinations. Ingka Centres is committed to maximizing the usage of renewable energy, prioritizing water recycling, and implementing effective waste management and recycling initiatives throughout the development process. The new meeting place will not only serve as a shopping destination but also cater to the evolving needs of conscious consumers.

The introduction of Lykli in India is a testament to Ingka Centres' commitment to creating innovative and community-centric meeting places that go beyond traditional shopping experiences. With a focus on well-being, sustainability, and a diverse range of offerings, Lykli aims to redefine the retail landscape in India and provide a truly immersive and fulfilling experience for visitors.
