Chennai remains the chief retail industry and shopping centre in South India, with some of its suburbs serving as exclusive shopping districts. T. Nagar falls to be short for Thyagaraya Nagar and is the most important hub for shopping in the city. If we talk of value for money, this is the place that epitomizes the idiom. Not only is this place famous for its collection of sari stores and gold jewellery but also has quite a lot to offer for the entertainment of the tourists too.

Kochi has always been a city of trade, but its current vibe is truly exciting for shoppers with a taste for the well curated. You’ll find old merchants sharing space with hip, young designers; family-run businesses sourcing and selling everything from traditional, woven saris to antique furniture and indies drawing on these influences while creating fresh, modern clothing and jewellery. LuLu Mall, MG Road, Broadway and Bazaar Road are major shopping destinations in Kochi.
