Reach Group Unveils Airia Business District, An Ecosystem of Grade A Office and Retail Spaces
North Indias leading real estate developer, Reach Group has come up with a unique concept of " AIRIA Business District " - a high-performance ecosystem comprising of Grade A retail and offices. Airia Business District serves as an identity for Reach Groups distinct and independent commercial developments in sector 68, on NH248A. Reach Group Unveils Airia Business District, an ecosystem of Grade A office and retail spaces The initiative has been conceptualised to position the developments to form a larger ecosystem where there are retail, entertainment, dining and office experiences around one destination-driven environment. At the centre of the ecosystem is the fully operational AIRIA Mall, a Grade-A retail destination driving over 1 lakh footfall per week. Spread across over 5 lakh sq. ft. housing more than 115 national and international brands, a 7-screen multiplex and over 25 dining destinations, the mall has established itself as one of the most prominent retail and lifestyle destinations in Gurugram. In the past, the mall hosted premium events such as Backstreet Boys, Karan Aujla, Martin Garrix among others, elevating the malls stature in Gurugrams entertainment landscape. The mall acts as the anchor driving footfall and recognition to the ecosystem. Grade-A office development- AIRIA Corporate Tower, one of the tallest commercial towers on NH-248A. The tower offers the dual advantage of expansive cityscape vistas alongside panoramic views of the Aravalli range. Rising up to 19 storeys, with the first four levels are dedicated to retail, while Airia Corporate Tower office spaces commences from the fifth floor onwards. The tower will offer approximately 3.52 lakh sq. ft. of office space designed around a modern work-dine-entertain environment. The development features an imposing double-height entrance lobby on the ground floor. The tower is being planned with sustainable green building features, large floor plates, premium faade architecture and has direct connectivity with AIRIA Mall. Further elevating the appeal of this ecosystem is The BAZARIA, a premium SCO plotted development envisioned as a premium high-street retail destination, strategically next to Airia Mall. This independent SCO plotted development has been thoughtfully designed as an experience-led retail destination, enabling seamless and effortless movement for shoppers. Planned to be developed as a high-street destination with integrated sky bridges, common elevators and wraparound balconies, the project aims to benefit from the recognition and footfall of Airia Mall and offers ample parking space. The development now has an availability of plots ranging from approximately 178 sq. yd. to 200 sq. yd. on an average. While most SCO plotted developments take years to establish visibility and attract meaningful footfall, The Bazaria enjoys a distinct day-one advantage with immediate visibility and audience traction, owing to its strategic location. Ashish Tandon, Chief Business Officer, Reach Group , said, Commercial destinations today are no longer defined by standalone retail or office developments. They are defined by ecosystems that create experiences, drive repeat engagement and bring together business, entertainment and lifestyle within one integrated environment. AIRIA Mall has already established itself as a strong commercial anchor, and through the AIRIA Business District initiative, we are further strengthening this ecosystem by bringing around complementary developments. Through Airia Business District, Reach Group aims to attract the smart investors in office & retail spaces, who understand the importance of an ecosystem led product rather a standalone development. The Airia Business District enjoys seamless connectivity to Southern Peripheral Road, Golf Course Extension Road, CPR and NH-48, while also benefiting from proximity to the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway and the proposed metro corridor. Surrounded by a rapidly growing residential and commercial catchment, the development cluster is well positioned to cater to the evolving business and lifestyle needs of Gurugram. With over 15 years of expertise in commercial real estate, Reach Group has developed a portfolio of nearly 3.5 million sq. ft., including under-construction projects. The company has consistently demonstrated strong leasing performance across developments including AIRIA Mall, Comercia, My Tower and 3Roads, with occupancy and leasing achievements ranging between 70% to 100%.

Kapil Dev And Mens Team Won Their First-ever WC There, Wed Love To Win T20WC At Lords Too: Jemimah
T20 World Cup: Jemimah Rodrigues has set her sights on Lords, the iconic ground where Kapil Dev led the Indian mens team to their first-ever World Cup triumph in 1983. The Indian womens star says her team dreams of achieving the same milestone at the ICC Womens T20 World Cup 2026, aiming to lift their maiden T20 title at the historic venue. Kapil Dev and the Indian mens team won their first-ever World Cup there. We would love to win our first-ever Womens T20 World Cup there. That would be super cool, Jemimah was quoted by ICC. The 25-year-old batter, who recently played an innings of a lifetime, an unbeaten 127 off 134 balls, to guide India across the line in an epic ICC Womens Cricket World Cup semi-final chase against Australia last year, feels that victory has instilled a newfound resolve within the team. India went on to clinch their maiden title that night in Navi Mumbai, and Jemimah believes that triumph has only fueled their motivation heading into England and Wales. The monkey is off the back. But I don't think it's pressure. I think it's more motivation because now you've tasted what it feels like to lift one World Cup. It makes you want one more and then one more and then one more. So I think the team is even more motivated and even more eager. And more than that, we saw the kind of impact it had for women's cricket in India, she said. Jemimah also praised her teammates' character, emphasising the importance of mental strength in high-pressure games. We just want to continue that legacy going to England. I think this team has character. When you want to win big games, you need people with character, people who are different in their own way, but they have a thing that they'll do anything to win the match. That kind of an attitude. And I think that's great character. That's why in any situation, I believe our team will find a way to win a match, Jemimah said. Reflecting on her personal journey, Jemimah revealed how past setbacks prepared her for her breakthrough innings against Australia. I think firstly, the biggest learning for me was because I was going through a lot of anxiety, not doing well, got two ducks in the tournament, was dropped and four years ago, I was dropped from the Cricket World Cup. This was my first World Cup. What I realised is that sometimes all you have got to do is show up because life has a way of making all things work together for good, she said. And I think, those four years actually trained me for such a moment as that, because I had to use all that experience that all the failures in all those years taught me maybe for such a time as that. So I think that was my biggest learning, that sometimes, especially when it gets hard and you don't have the strength to run or fly, sometimes all you have to do is just go and stand and God works out everything for you, Jemimah added. Jemimah will once again play a pivotal role as India chase their maiden T20 World Cup crown. Slotted in Group 1, the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side will take on Australia, South Africa, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and the Netherlands, opening their campaign against arch-rivals Pakistan on June 14 at Edgbaston, Birmingham. And I think, those four years actually trained me for such a moment as that, because I had to use all that experience that all the failures in all those years taught me maybe for such a time as that. So I think that was my biggest learning, that sometimes, especially when it gets hard and you don't have the strength to run or fly, sometimes all you have to do is just go and stand and God works out everything for you, Jemimah added.

IPL 2026: 'With 53 Sixes, Sooryavanshi Is Actually Going After Gayle's Record,' Says Irfan
Lucknow Super Giants: Rajasthan Royals teenage sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi continues to terrorise bowlers in IPL 2026, and former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan believes the 15-year-old is on the verge of breaking one of the most iconic records in the tournaments history. Sooryavanshi smashed a blistering 93 off just 38 balls against Lucknow Super Giants as Rajasthan Royals chased down 221 with ease. In the process, the teenage prodigy became the first Indian batter in IPL history to hit 50 sixes in a single season. He also became the youngest player in tournament history to reach 500 runs and maintained the highest strike rate ever in a 500-plus-run season at 236.3. This was unbelievable. The maturity he showed was the highlight for me. We always say, whenever we watch Vaibhav Suryavanshi, that he's a very good leg-side player. The way he played on the off-side in this game was outstanding. He has great control over his back-lift. He was playing over covers and even played an upper-cut over third man. It is very difficult to stop him, Pathan told JioStar. In his first 10 balls, he was batting at a strike rate of less than 100, and by the end of the innings, he had scored 93 runs off just 38 balls. With 53 sixes, he is actually going after Chris Gayle's record of 59 sixes, which has stood since 2012. As bowlers, we were always scared of facing Chris Gayle. Vaibhav Suryavanshi is creating that same fear, and Gayle's record is definitely in danger, he said, praising the teenagers power-hitting and composure under pressure. With a seven-wicket win, RR jumped to fourth place in the points table, ahead of Punjab Kings, who had been holding that position for quite some time. A victory in their last league stage game against Mumbai Indians, and some favourable results, would lead to the inaugural champions clinching the last-remaining playoff spot. In his first 10 balls, he was batting at a strike rate of less than 100, and by the end of the innings, he had scored 93 runs off just 38 balls. With 53 sixes, he is actually going after Chris Gayle's record of 59 sixes, which has stood since 2012. As bowlers, we were always scared of facing Chris Gayle. Vaibhav Suryavanshi is creating that same fear, and Gayle's record is definitely in danger, he said, praising the teenagers power-hitting and composure under pressure. Also Read: Live Cricket Score But RR are at least keeping themselves in contention, especially with the kind of batting line-up they have. What's happening with Ravindra Jadeja? His experience will be invaluable, and at the same time, Riyan Parag's batting will be key as well. I'll be keeping an eye on these two factors because if both of them come back in, RR will be in a much better position to win that game too, he added. Article Source: IANS
