India’s Premier Gateway to Global Fashion Excellence

Bridging global fashion and Indian ambition since 1978

AHAD RETAIL VENTURES
Partner of choice for global and premium fashion brands in India
For over four decades, Ahad Retail Ventures has shaped India’s premium retail ecosystem—bridging international fashion with Indian ambition. Established in 1978 by Mr. Ifthikar Saleem, Ahad Retail has evolved into one of the most trusted retail partners for high-end and global brands entering or expanding in India. With deep roots in textiles, apparel, luggage, and footwear, Ahad Retail brings an unmatched legacy of retail excellence combined with modern agility.

From launching pioneering brands to managing multi-format store operations, Ahad Retail has earned its reputation as one of India’s foremost retail houses, especially for premium and aspirational labels. The company has successfully introduced and scaled iconic names like Timberland, Arrow, Colour Plus, Woodland, Weekender Kids, and Belmonte, and today operates leading outlets for U.S. Polo Assn., Flying Machine, Creyate, Indya, Faballey, Police, The Children’s Place, and Delsey Paris across malls and high streets in Bangalore.

Backed by the prestigious The Bangalore Real Estate Co.® and an experienced team of over 100 retail professionals, Ahad Retail offers complete retail lifecycle solutions—market entry, brand rollout, store operations, and real estate advisory—all aligned to deliver profitable, high-impact results.

We are proud members of the Retailers Association of India and have established long-term partnerships with over 60 premium brands, both domestic and international. Our proven understanding of the Indian consumer, access to strategic retail locations, and hands-on operational leadership make Ahad Retail the ideal franchise or master franchise partner in India.
