Doha, Qatar: Lulu Hypermarket, the region’s leading retail brand, has launched its ‘India Utsav’ festival to commemorate the 79th Indian Independence Day, offering shoppers a lively showcase of India’s culture, cuisine, and craftsmanship.

The celebration was officially inaugurated on 15 August at Lulu Hypermarket Al Gharaffa by H.E. Vipul, Ambassador of India to Qatar, in the presence of senior embassy officials, community leaders, and representatives from organizations including ICC, ICBF, ISC, IWA, and IBPC.

Known for its strong commitment to sourcing from India, Lulu Group continues to import a wide range of Indian products to the Gulf. During the India Utsav festival, customers can enjoy special offers and discounts on Indian-branded groceries, fresh produce, meat, seafood, household essentials, health and beauty items, garments, and footwear.

A highlight of the event is the ‘Indian Silk and Ethnic Wear Fest’ at the Saree Section, showcasing an elegant collection of pure silk and synthetic saris, readymade outfits, and dress materials from various Indian states — all available at attractive prices.

Shoppers can also explore a diverse range of millets and millet-based bakery products, along with freshly prepared Indian delicacies. From aromatic biryanis and classic curries to popular street snacks and traditional sweets, the festival offers an authentic taste of India.

Praising Lulu’s efforts, Ambassador H.E. Vipul said:
"On the very happy occasion of the 79th Independence Day of India, I would like to thank the entire team of LuLu for organizing India Utsav here in Qatar. It not only brings Indians together with products from across India but also unites the world by sourcing globally. It is always a proud moment to see how it showcases Indian products and strengthens the friendship between India and Qatar."
