Lulu Group International Chairman M. A. Yusuff Ali shares why India remains a key focus for the global retail giant as it commits billions of dollars toward expansion. Speaking to India Today TV’s Marya Shakil, Ali highlights India’s strong economic fundamentals, rising per capita income, and growing export strength under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. With India aiming to become a $5 trillion economy, Lulu plans to expand across retail, food exports, logistics, and procurement. Ali emphasises that growth in tier-2 and tier-3 cities directly supports rural demand, creating a complementary cycle that benefits farmers and urban consumers alike. From fruits and vegetables to rice, tea, and sugar, India’s agricultural exports are becoming a major global supply source, reinforcing organic and inclusive growth.
