Popularly known as the ‘Destination Mall’, Lake Shore Thane was built with the objective of providing unique experiences to its customers. Lake Shore Thane covers over 250 leading brands in its prime retail and leisure space. The mall is India’s first and only visually impaired friendly mall and has also launched “XRCVC-Lake Shore Thane Extension” a resource centre for the visually impaired.
Over the years our pioneering vision and dynamic efforts have been globally recognised with business innovation and excellence awards. We have had 7 back-to-back wins at the ICSC Global Awards, 5 of which were in the ICSC Asia-Pacific category and 2 were VIVA (Vision, Innovation, Value, Achievement) Best-of-the-Best Awards.
At Lake Shore Thane, we believe that the mall is not only a shopping centre but also a community centre. And with this thought, we created a platform named “Vision Lake Shore Thane”. We are investing our time and resources into making this world a better place. From being an environment-friendly mall (common areas at Lake Shore Thane, run on solar energy) to empowering women against different causes like #RespectWomenOnWheelChair, #StopAcidSale, etc. under ExtraordiNaari, we are trying to touch social issues that require close attention. We are also associated with XRCVC and PANKH in order to create an inclusive environment for visually-impaired persons.
We are a proud supporter of empowering the ones who see differently, in fact, we are the first and the only visually-impaired-friendly mall in India. We have launched a Lake Shore Thane-XRCVC centre, which strives to help visually-impaired persons to become self-sufficient. The resource centre provides computer education and runs multiple certificate courses free of cost for visually-impaired students. We have together introduced innovative tools like Braille Menus, Tactile Labels at retail stores, Audio Tactile Floor Plans, etc. to ensure they have a troublefree time here. XRCVC and we, at Lake Shore Thane, collectively organised a few key events like Antarchakshu, Assistance for Disabled Persons Programme, Cricket Tournament, etc. Click here to know more.
Our second initiative, where we partnered with PANKH, a joint vision of TRRAIN and Youth4Jobs Foundation, which aims at opening a training centre for Persons with Disabilities. We provided a space in the mall for the training centre to support the cause, and give Persons with Disabilities a direction in terms of career. We are helping them develop the skill set required to get a job in the retail sector. With PANKH, the mall is trying to create an environment, where specially-abled can showcase their abilities.
