India’s ascent is not a forecast—it’s already here, reshaping everything from aviation capacity to global brand strategy. A new generation of travellers is emerging—young, digitally fluent, value-conscious yet ambitious, and increasingly global in taste.
This TFWA Market Watch workshop explores the forces driving India’s fast-evolving travel retail landscape, from rapidly expanding airport infrastructure to the growing influence of a confident, globally minded consumer base. The session will feature Mudit Srivastava, Chief Operating Officer of Cococart and Café, offering insights into how brand-led concepts are evolving to engage India’s next-generation traveller.
As passenger numbers surge and the market accelerates, the session asks a critical question for the industry: how can global players tap into one of the world’s fastest-growing travel ecosystems—without falling back on outdated playbooks?
The workshop will be moderated by Nicole Daniells, Member Services Manager, TFWA.
