It is also heartening that international brands are choosing Orion malls to be their gateway to India. With the easing of restrictions on cinemas and family entertainment centres, footfalls at Orion Malls are expected to touch pre-covid levels in the weeks to come." said Sunil Munshi, AVP Operations, Orion Malls, Brigade Group.
