Why Globiq Is Redefining Travel Retail in India | Globiq

Introduction — The Forgotten 90 Minutes

Every Indian traveller knows the feeling: you're at the airport an hour early, your boarding gate hasn't opened, and you're surrounded by overpriced fast food and duty-free perfume counters. Something is missing. That something is Globiq.

 

What Is Globiq?

Globiq is India's newest and most exciting travel retail brand — a carefully curated convenience store experience designed for the modern traveller. Born out of Travel News Services (India) Private Limited, Globiq brings together books and magazines, wellness essentials, confectionery and chocolates, toys and gifts, travel accessories, and cutting-edge electronics under one beautifully designed roof.

•       Strategically located at airports, metro stations, and high-street locations across India.

•       Part of an ambitious plan to open 100 stores in 12 months.

•       Built for the traveller who values quality, curation, and convenience equally.

 

The Problem Globiq Solves

Traditional travel retail in India has long been a fragmented, uninspiring experience. Overpriced snacks, a shelf of paperbacks with no curation, and electronics sold at airport premiums. Globiq changes all of that by applying a premium retail philosophy to the convenience format — think of it as the travel store that finally understands what travellers actually want.

 

What Makes Globiq Different?

•       Every product on the shelf has been deliberately selected. The books section is organised by genre and mood, not just bestseller lists. Curated, not cluttered:

•       Globiq believes premium is about quality and experience, not markup. Products are priced fairly for the traveller in a hurry. Premium at accessible prices:

•       A wellness roller, a great novel, a bar of artisan chocolate, and a travel adapter — everything you need for the journey, under one roof. Categories that complement each other:

•       Each Globiq store is designed to feel like a discovery, not a transaction. Browsing is encouraged. Thoughtful store design:

 

The Bigger Vision

Globiq's leadership team — Managing Director Atul Jain and CEO Shantanu Chakravartty — envisions Globiq as far more than a convenience store. It is a brand that believes retail is an experience, a moment of joy between the chaos of travel. With 100 stores across airports, universities, metro stations, and high streets planned in the next 12 months, Globiq is building the most comprehensive travel retail network India has ever seen.

 

Conclusion

The next time you find yourself at a Delhi Metro station or a domestic terminal with 45 minutes to spare, look for the Globiq sign. Step inside. Pick up something that will make your journey better. That is what Globiq is here for — and it is only just getting started.
