Since its inception in 1992, IMAGES Group has evolved into one of the most prolific and influential disseminators of retail intelligence. Recognised by global retail communities through its B2B magazines, conferences, exhibitions, research reports, and web portals, the Group is among the largest retail intelligence organizations in South Asia and the Middle East. Its portfolio of platforms functions as a catalyst for the profitable growth of modern retail through unmatched knowledge leadership.

After a successful start in India, IMAGES Group pioneered its presence in the Middle East more than 15 years ago. Today, our MENA operations have become a cornerstone of the region’s retail ecosystem, with RetailME standing as the region’s leading retail intelligence platform and a trusted voice of authority. Through in-depth reportage, market research, and agenda-setting events, we have built an unparalleled position of thought leadership that connects decision-makers, inspires innovation, and drives retail transformation across the Arab world.

The Group’s knowledge platforms span print and digital media, research studies, and flagship annual business events — with conferences, masterclasses, and workshops addressing multiple retail verticals, segments, and operational domains. Our signature events in the region include the Middle East Retail Forum, a gathering of the industry’s sharpest minds, and the RetailME Awards, respected for their accurate, unbiased, and transparent evaluation of performance and innovation across retail categories.

Our editorial and research portfolio covers every facet of the retail value chain — from strategy and store design to product sourcing, merchandising, marketing, branding, technology, supply chain, and emerging consumer trends. Our conversations cover and include prominent retail categories, including fashion and lifestyle, food and grocery, beauty and wellness, food service, home & housewares.

For IMAGES Group, MENA represents a land of opportunity — a region where dynamic economies, ambitious visions, and youthful populations are shaping the future of global retail. Saudi Arabia, in particular, stands as one of the most exciting growth arenas, where we are actively engaging with industry stakeholders to foster innovation, investment, and transformation. Our mission is clear: to strengthen our role as the region’s most trusted retail knowledge partner and help shape the retail landscapes of today and tomorrow.

Headquartered in New Delhi with offices across Indian metros and the Middle East, IMAGES Group continues to expand its influence, creating meaningful platforms for retail communities to connect, learn, and grow.
