MAKING IT HAPPEN

Moving on – Mohali & Aurangabad

As shared by Steve, since many years now we have been opening many successful stores and accelerating
quickly. Two non-concept stores were opened a while ago in shopping malls and were non-performing. The
decision was taken to refocus on concept stores and tier one locations. We have learnt a number of things about
how to work better in shopping malls in order to guarantee the right identity accessibility and visibility. We have
taken care to work human projects for the team and also to find different ways for the customer to carry on
shopping with us. In the case of Mohali for example the larger Zirakpur store is very close.

A BIG THANK YOU to Neha, Abhishek and their teams for their hard work and spirit and is happy that new projects
and solutions can be found for the teams and users

From Decathlon Mohali

Decathlon Mohali our 4th store in the North Zone and 3rd
store in Punjab opened on 4th June 2014. In these two
years the team had built a personal connection with each
customer, especially those who have been visiting us
since the opening of the store.
Personally for me, these 2 years at Decathlon Mohali have
been the most joyous and enriching. I would like to thank
everyone associated with the project and
wish my amazing
team all the very
best for their
future projects
at DSI. It was a
pleasure working
with all of you.

Messages from team mates

I never thought of this moment! The moment I
will ever say a goodbye to my Mohali Team. A
team..... “We are not a Team because we work
together. We are a team because we respect,
trust and care for each other”.
My sincere thanks for all your support and
guidance throughout. Will miss you!
