Change is a constant process and it matters the most when it comes to doing business. To serve these ever-growing, ever-changing consumer demands and behaviour, businesses also need to evolve continuously. Mixed-use development and the need for open retail spaces are more common than ever. The Covid-19 lockdown, in the last two years, has affected almost every business. While the first lockdown was averse to the real estate sector, the commercial builders have found a way or two to keep the businesses running during the second lockdown. Now that, the covid restrictions are partially lifted in most of the parts of the country and shopping complexes are allowed to open for limited hours, this has made retailers reinvent the structural space to make the customer feel safe and curb the spread. The one-size-fits-all theory has virtually collapsed and new ways have been adopted to cope-up with the ever-changing circumstances to stay afloat.
