SHIBU PHILIPS
An alumni of IIM Kashipur and graduate from Mumbai University, Shibu Philips brings with him over 25 years of experience launching international quick service restaurants and state of the art shopping malls. He is one of the pioneers who transformed the retail arena of the country, with a glittering track record that dates back to the year 2000. One of the main driving forces behind the launch of three of India’s best Shopping Malls, Inorbit Malad Mumbai, Oberoi Mall Mumbai and Lulu Mall Kerala, he is a Level 3 certified Shopping centre Manager from International council of shopping centres – ICSC (USA), receiving professional recognition of the body twice during Maxi 2007 and 2014.
In 2010, he joined Lulu Group to play a key role in the visionary project headed by the CMD of the group, to bring international shopping experiences to Kerala for the first time. Needless to the say, the dream was realised in record time, and Shibu Philips was part of the team that gave life to that vision. As Business Head of Lulu Mall, Kochi, the mall made waves in a market with no prior exposure to international shopping malls, marching ahead by setting one milestone after another. From there, he played a key role in Lulu Mall’s extensive expansion plans to markets like Lucknow, Bangalore, Trivandrum, Thrissur and other cities in India.
Today, he is the Director – Shopping Malls for Lulu Group India. With Lulu Group’s aggressive expansion plan across the country, Shibu Philips will be in charge of launching and running over 12 additional malls in the next 3 years.
Real commitment never goes unrecognized, and recognitions came looking for him, wherever he rendered his service. Being adjudged one of the “Most Influential Shopping Centre Professional” in India is just one feather in his cap.
