Bangalore Gets First IT Mall
Nycil George, Nov 29, 2005 1806 hrs ISTThe country's first mall dedicated only to IT and aptly called IT Mall is being set up in Bangalore.
The country's first mall dedicated only to IT and aptly called IT Mall is being set up in Bangalore and is already attracting the city's crowd of IT businessmen and customers alike. The Mall is huge, classy and is in the heart of the city city, near M. G. road on Brigade road.
The Mall features 64 shops spread out across 19,000 sq ft area, is centrally air-conditioned with 100 percent power back-up, has basement parking and an 11 cuisine food mall on the top floor. What's new is that all 64 shops will have all that you can think of, when it comes to computers and peripherals.
Haresh Doshi, director, Sound Shelters, and one of the owners of IT Mall says, "The IT Mall is so called because it will have nothing else but IT products. It's been a dream project for us. When we first called in for bookings of the shops, we got tremendous response. But we have been very careful in selecting the dealers and companies. We have done a thorough market survey, to understand the credibility of the dealer and genuineness of the company. Dealers dealing with any grey market products have been clearly demarcated and excluded. The intention is to make original and branded IT products available to the customers, all under one-roof. The aim is to make the products available the very day the company launches it in the market."
The IT Mall has on offer computer consumables, peripherals, spares, accessories, stationary, etc., along with laptops, branded PCs, original software and CDs.
R. Sridar, Triangle Technologies (one of the shops in IT Mall), said, "What works more often with our people is the 'time and place concept'. You want something and you get it then and there, what you have to pay hardly matters then, if you know if you know there is not a big price difference. Thus when a person thinks of buying a spare or a peripheral for his home PC and the need is immediate, he usually gets cheated without his knowledge as the shop he walks into, may be one of its kind in the area and he is in no mood to compare rates at that moment."
"No one goes to SP road (the hub of IT products in Bangalore) for every small need. Thus the IT Mall is going to give a total new dimension to IT shopping and now customers can walk into one Mall, where they will not only find all their IT requirements but also all the brands and that too at a competitive rate", Sridhar said.
The IT Mall is still under work when it comes to interiors for each shop, but the crowd coming in everyday proves the way Bangalorians have already received this venture. The Mall is due for an official inauguration in the coming month.
