Located in Rajnagar Extension, KW Delhi 6 is an ongoing commercial project with most advanced and latest gamming options in world, best of local and international cuisines, as well as optimisedan blend of renowned Indian and international brands under one roof. With the promise of delightful shopping experience to all, KW DELHI 6 is ready to write a new story of customer experience and to establish a new benchmark for the success.
“The imagination of a commercial project in residential hub of Raj Nagar extension was a huge challenge for us. KW Group was first in the country to lunch two commercial projects in January 2017 post demonetisation. The market condition was adverse, and it required massive courage to come out with a real estate project in a Tier II City. In just two years’ time, the feeling of accomplishment has surpassed and superseded every other feeling,” says Pankaj Kumar Jain, Director, KW Group.
Factors Influencing Popularity
Apart from the infrastructural growth explosion in the Ghaziabad, KW Group has the benefit of being the first mover in the region. The project has access to an organised residential hub with a catchment of approximately 3 lakh people.
Adding to this, it is essential to note that there is no competition for KW Delhi 6 in near future absolutely. The mall is a door opener for many national and international brands, restaurants and gaming arcades and zones in the Ghaziabad region.
“Rajnagar Extension today is one of the most preferred investment destinations in NCR. The infrastructural development and decisions like conversion of Hindon Airport to domestic Airport, Hindon Elevated Road, Eastern and western Peripheral corridors, metro connectivity and a proposed international cricket stadium have added a new dimension to the area. And all these factors have added more weightage to our project,” states Jain.
The Tenants
A right tenant mix plays a pivotal role in the success of every shopping destination.
“We intend to convert KW Delhi into an ‘Experience Destination’ rather than just a simple shopping destination .Therefore, we finalise our tenant through a series of established selection processes in accordance with our zoning plan. During the selection of tenants, utmost care is being taken to ensure that the end result is an ultimate consumer experience to the end user,” explains Jain.

New Brands in the Pipeline
The mall is all set to welcome new brands in the near future. “We have already extended our arms to welcome all the new brands, as we believe that their enthusiasm dedication and energy level, when blended with our vision, will create a new horizon of success for the market to follow.

Talking about the competition, Jain explains, “Rajnagar Extension is a residential area and there are no organised shopping options in the area. Our competition would be with unorganised local markets and convenient shops in various societies. However, KW believes in self competition, as we offer optimum space per walk-in and above all a personalised world class service.”
Events & Activities
KW 6 is planning to form a promotional and event management committee that would have representation from associated brands. “We will be dividing events in different categories, and each category will have tangible goals associated with it. We plan to make a yearly event calendar based on due diligence, market factors and sentiments, festive season, social events and occasions and the implementation of this calendar would be taken care of by the event management committee,” says Jain.
The three factors associated with the events are footfall, conversion ratio and average sale per walk in. “However, the conversion ratio and average sale per walk-in are substantially important and one needs make continual effort to increase the monthly growth in the conversion ratio and average sale per person,” adds Jain.
