With the recent opening of his mega-mall Jio World Plaza in Mumbai, Mukesh Ambani has brought some of the most opulent international brands and businesses to India. This mega-mall is located in Mumbai’s Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), one of the most posh areas of the city.

In addition to housing the world's most prestigious designer clothing and accessory brands, Jio World Plaza exudes luxury in every way. The building's elaborate details and gold interior design captivate visitors from the moment they step inside.

The Jio World Plaza, Mukesh Ambani’s newest ultra-luxury project, has been designed by TVS, a United States-based architectural and design firm that has a global presence and has an eye for sharp and luxurious details in commercial business buildings.

Based in the United States, TVS Architecture is regarded as one of the most distinguished design firms in the nation. TVS and Reliance signed a multi-crore contract for TVS to design Jio World Plaza, and the outcome was simply amazing. They are regarded as the Jio World Plaza’s Construction Company. 

The lotus flower and other natural elements served as inspiration for the architecture of the JWP luxury mall. With marble floors and tall vaulted ceilings, Jio World Plaza’s area spans 7,50,000 square feet and is flooded with golden light.

The mall's interior, with its blue, gold, and white decor, exudes luxury, and each store's unique décor is tailored to its affluent customer base. TVS Architecture generates over USD 360 million in revenue, or approximately Rs 2993 crore in Indian rupees.

On November 1, Mukesh Ambani and his family launched the Jio World Plaza. Bollywood stars and other well-known people attended the red carpet event. Reputable labels such as Armani, Balenciaga, Louis Vuitton, and Gucci will open shop in this opulent mega-mall.

The JWP, which was created as a center for entertainment, shopping, and dining, will be home to a number of international brands making their Indian debuts. These brands include Rimowa, EL&N Café, Pottery Barn Kids, Samsung Experience Center, Giorgio Armani Café, and Balenciaga. 

Mumbai shoppers can also take advantage of this opportunity to visit the first-ever locations of luxury brands like Versace, Tiffany, Ladurée, Tory Burch, Valentino, and YSL. There will also be prominent flagships from well-known brands like Giorgio Armani, Bulgari, Cartier, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Bally, and Dior. Prominent Indian designers will also be featured at JWP, including Manish Malhotra, Abu Jani-Sandeep Khosla, Rahul Mishra, Falguni and Shane Peacock, and Ri By Ritu Kumar.

"Our envisioning of Jio World Plaza is aimed at bringing the best global brands to India, as well as highlighting the prowess and craftsmanship of top Indian brands, to create a very unique retail experience. Our pursuit of excellence, innovation, and enhancing customer experience continues to propel us in every venture." said Isha M Ambani, Director, Reliance Industries Ltd.

International brands have been more visible in India in recent years thanks to fashion shows and limited-edition collections. In a related development, Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Ltd. (ABFRL) collaborated with Galeries Lafayette, a high-end retailer with headquarters in Paris, last year to launch upscale department stores and a unique e-commerce platform in India. More than 200 luxury and designer brands will be housed under one roof at the flagship locations in Delhi and Mumbai.

The Plaza is dedicated to providing an exceptional shopping experience, with features including a gourmet food section, top-notch restaurants, and a modern sculpture by Jitish Kallat at the entrance. Improved amenities like wheelchair accessibility, hands-free shopping, VIP concierge, cab services, personal shopping assistants, and more demonstrate the Plaza's commitment to its customers.

The location of JIO World Plaza is another excellent factor to draw crowds. It is ideally situated close to the JIO World Convention Center, the JIO World Garden, and the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC), making it a comprehensive travel destination.  Bulgari, Dior, Giorgio Armani, Cartier, Bally, Gucci, and YSL are among the other notable openings. The essence of this space is notably captured by Bulgari's new boutique, and the presence of global brand ambassador Priyanka Chopra Jonas at the opening reinforced this. The Bulgari boutique, created by architect Peter Marino, combines the brand's craft heritage with a modern approach to interior design. One of the store's most striking features is a 1,881 square foot chandelier that was painstakingly made by hand out of Murano glass. The boutique pays homage to Bulgari's iconic flagship location on Via Condotti in Rome by offering a carefully chosen selection of opulent jewelry, exquisite timepieces, and luxury handbags.

With only 22 of the 66 Jio World Plaza mall brands open at the moment, the mall is still in its infancy. However, Mumbai is seeing the opening of some exciting new stores, so the wait will soon be over. The Giorgio Armani Café, Pottery Barn Kids, Samsung Experience Center, EL&N Café, and Rimowa are among the other recent entrants in the Indian market.
