“I am delighted to inaugurate the Indian festival at Lulu Hypermarket in Dana Mall, as part of celebrations of 72nd Republic Day of India,” he said, “Lulu is the largest hypermarket chain in Middle East and I congratulate Lulu Group for organizing this annual festival highlighting Indian products and food. I am happy to hear that Lulu is also organising the Food Festival over the weekend, following all COVID protocols and norms. Lulu Group is the biggest importer of Indian food products in Bahrain and the variety of brands displayed is quite impressive.”
He added, “Festivals like these showcase Indian culture, cuisine and products not only to Indian and Bahraini nationals but also other nationalities residing in the Kingdom of Bahrain. These also reflect the great traditional, deep civilizational, cultural, social and people to people contacts between India and Bahrain.” “Traditionally, Indian Republic Day is very popular with our shoppers and we are sure that they will enjoy the great deals that we have in store for them. India’s expanding product range gives customers some extraordinary new tastes to explore,” said Lulu Group Director Juzer Rupawala.
