Harmeet Grover joins Redesign Group India as Head of Strategy and Development for Travel Retail and F&B

Travel retail and aviation veteran Harmeet Grover has joined Redesign Group's India network as Head of Strategy and Development – Travel Retail and F&B India, bringing more than 30 years of industry experience to the consultancy.

Grover's remit covers the design consultancy's travel retail and food and beverage work in the Indian market, a region the company describes as a growing part of its international network.

He arrives with more than three decades of experience spanning aviation, inflight catering, airport retail and foodservice, a background that aligns with the airports, malls and commercial schemes Redesign Group works on.

The appointment was announced by Redesign Group founder and director Jo Pennycuick, who said Grover has an impressive track record in the travel retail industry. The two have worked together in various capacities for more than a decade.

Under Pennycuick's leadership, Redesign Group has assembled an international network of alliances and partnerships with strong links to travel retail, moving beyond its core design business into consultancy and business development.

The company operates from a base in London serving the UK and European markets alongside its wider international activities, and says it has designed and developed more than 3,500 projects across airports, malls and commercial developments.

More recently, Redesign Group has repositioned its business around an expanded consultancy offer covering commercial and functional design, value creation, planning and operational efficiencies, sustainability, collaboration and strategic connectivity.
