November 29, 2013: Shop for fantastic stuff, win a fabulous car! Shopping Karne Aao, Fabia Le Jao! That’s exactly what Surat resident Mr. Dinesh Kakkar did at VR Surat (Dumas Road) – the brand new way to shop – during the month-long Dilwaali Diwali campaign held between October 25 and November 25, 2013! Mr. Paresh Mishra, Director-Operations, Western Region, Virtuous Retail, handed over the key of the brand new Skoda to a visibly happy bumper prize winner from Ratna Jyoti Apartment, at the Runway@ VR Surat.

Thirty lucky shoppers were declared as the daily winners and many won exciting prizes including a Mahindra Duro Bike, LCD TV and lots more. Any shopper, who bought goods worth Rs. 5,000 at VR Surat, the leading fashion destination in the South Gujarat region, stood a chance to win daily prizes as well as the grand prize of a fabulous Skoda Fabia. Surtis ‘shopped from their heart’ (giving equal importance to ‘Dil’) during the ‘Dilwaali Diwali” campaign taking advantage of the attractive deals being offered by premium lifestyle brands at the Community Center.

On the occasion, on behalf of Virtuous Retail, India's largest institutionally owned developer-operator of lifestyle shopping centers, Mr. Mishra also gave away in donation Rs 1, 00,000/-as part of the proceeds from ‘Dilwaali Diwali” campaign to a non-profit NGO “Save The Children India” that supports underprivileged children with a vision of making India a child-friendly nation, and a mission to nurture, educate and guide the growth of vulnerable children and women.

Mr. Paresh Mishra, Director-Operations, Western Region, Virtuous Retail, said,

“VR Surat is the spirit of the City and here the Dhamaal and Dhoom lasted even after the festivities got over. We sincerely thank all Surtis for shopping from their heart to make the Dilwaali Diwali campaign a mega success in its first year itself. As part of its Connecting Communities initiative, Virtuous Retail supports social causes related to underprivileged children and education for all. With the success of the festival campaigns, we now gear up for the Tourism Launch with over 20 premium brands still continuing to make some irresistible offers for shoppers.”

VR Surat, South Gujarat's largest and only lifestyle destination, has just announced the Gujarat debut of Inditex-owned global high-street fashion brand Zara; UK's leading department store brand Marks & Spencer; global cosmetics giant MAC and luxury watch brand Omega. In a staged opening, VR Surat has operationalized 85% of the total leasable area with leading department store brands Shoppers Stop and Westside, cinema chain Inox, entertainment chain SVM Bowling & Gaming, and a host of international premium brands such as Tommy Hilfiger, Swarovski, Calvin Klein, FCUK, Sisley, Gant, Nautica, Izod, all of whom make their debut in South Gujarat.
