Ingka to launch meeting place, retail centre in India

Lykli Gurugaram is expected to open in late 2025.

Ingka Centres will develop a new meeting place anchored by IKEA, Lykli, which is targeted to open in late 2025 in New Delhi.

In a statement, Ingka Centre said Lykli Gurugaram, derived from Swedish work ‘lycklig’ which means happy, will “emerge as a key destination for entertainment, social connections and retail therapy in the lucrative Indian market.”

“Shopping malls have long been perceived as simply places to shop. Ingka Centres´ immersive experiences challenge this outdated concept and transform shopping malls into a destination for many people to recharge, play, build emotional connections and nurture community,” said Anna Larsen, Global Marketing Manager, Ingka Centres.
