MALL MANAGEMENT · INDIA

Mall management services in India

PAP India is a mall management company that plans, leases, launches and runs retail destinations across India — 5.2 million sq ft of retail, commercial and cinema under management, from first feasibility study to steady-state operations.

What a mall management company covers

The mandate is the whole asset, not one department. Six areas a full-service operator is responsible for:

Feasibility & asset strategy

Catchment, need-gap and competitor studies; GLA, zoning and ROI recommendations taken while the drawings can still change.

Leasing & tenant mix

Category planning, target brand shortlists and outreach, LOIs and agreements, fit-out guidelines and tenant onboarding.

Operations & facility

SOPs for operations, security, housekeeping and utilities; vendor appointment; BMS, CCTV, parking and energy systems; manpower hiring and training.

Marketing & footfall

Launch strategy and PR, grand opening events, marketing calendars across OOH, digital and radio, tenant promotions and loyalty tie-ups.

Budgets & cost control

Annual budgets aligned with leasing and operations plans, and cost discipline across vendors so the asset stays on plan.

Reporting to owners

Monthly leasing, operations and marketing reports; sales and footfall analytics; quarterly reviews that keep owners and investors in the loop.

How PAP India runs an asset: four phases, one team

Concept to commissioning, handled by people who have run malls rather than only advised on them.

PHASE 01

Need gap analysis

Check brand potential of the local populace and understand floating traffic to build the right leasing plan.

PHASE 02

Pre-launch preps

Ensure technical, BMS, security and operations are set up correctly to avoid recurring issues post launch. SOPs, manuals, leasing and ROI calculations.

PHASE 03

Launch phase

PR plans, a 360-degree marketing plan, launch event, and implementation of SOPs for ops, security, housekeeping, BMS and technical systems.

PHASE 04

Sustenance

Ongoing mall operations, marketing and churn across leasing, maintenance, AMCs, security, housekeeping upgrades and marketing calendars.

Choosing a mall management company in India

Five questions worth asking any operator — including us.

01

Full lifecycle, not one slice

Does the operator carry the asset from feasibility to sustenance, or hand off after a single phase? Mistakes made before construction are the most expensive ones to fix later.

02

Operators, not just advisors

Has the team actually run malls day to day? PAP India’s core team comes from Walmart, Nexus Malls, JLL, Phoenix Malls and Wave Malls — 100+ years of combined mall experience.

03

Proof in sq ft, not slideware

Ask for GLA under management and for turnarounds, not just projects consulted on. PAP India manages 5.2 million sq ft of retail, commercial and cinema, and reviving struggling malls is a core mandate.

04

Own people on the ground

In-house operations and events teams, backed by exclusive partners for security and housekeeping — not everything subcontracted to the lowest bidder.

05

Reporting you can hold

Monthly dashboards, footfall and sales analytics, and quarterly reviews — visibility an owner or investor can depend on, quarter after quarter.
