Indian travelers are becoming a key driver of growth for duty free and travel retail across the Middle East and Africa. With increasing purchasing power and a strong appetite for global brands, they are influencing category demand and redefining retail expectations in airports across the region. As MEA hubs see a surge in Indian passenger traffic, this session explores how the industry can adapt to better engage this increasingly influential consumer segment. Pooja Padmanabhan Bommidala, CEO of BBM Travel Retail, Renat Rozpravka, CEO of Muscat Duty Free, and Mudit Srivastava, COO at Cococart, will share their perspectives on the growing influence of Indian travelers and the opportunities this consumer group presents for the sector.
