Ikea’s sister company Ingka Group has big plans in Asia. The business is in the midst of a huge push into the region with the opening of a new centre in Shanghai and has just announced plans for its first ‘eatertainment’ concept centre in India. 

Set to open in 2028, the Lykli Noida centre in Uttar Pradesh will blend Scandinavian and Indian retail concepts with dining and entertainment alongside office space, a hotel and more. 

We spoke to Ingka Centres head of global development Sebastian Hylving to hear what’s planned for the centre and why India is such an attractive market for businesses right now.
