Sri Lanka Retail Forum to discuss ways to cater post-pandemic consumer

‘Catering to the Post-Pandemic Consumer’, the first session at the upcoming Sri Lanka Retailers Forum 2021 will focus on customer value as online / digital platforms become a core part of the business while exploring the role played by digital shifts in the customer journey. 

The discussion will dive into some of the emerging trends and needs of the consumer regionally and those taking place locally.

The panel will discuss on the local retail industry’s readiness to cater for such a shift.

The expert presenters lined up to reveal these insights during session one are Dymfke Kuijpers Senior Partner McKinsey & Co and Himalee Madurasinghe, CEO – Kantar Sri Lanka. They will bejoined by panelists Mohammed Rizvi – CEO – Softlogic Retail (Pvt) Ltd and Rakhil Fernando – Managing Director – Daraz in the panel discussion.
