Our focused cross-functional team of professionals worked seamlessly with Croma's Operations, Store Design, Real Estate and the Project Management departments, all the way from concept up to the opening and post-inaugural phases."
Ritesh Ghosal, CMO Croma, said, "Croma, Gadgets of Desire, is an attempt to come closer to the customers and become a go to destination for everything in electronics!
