New Delhi, August 2, 2018:- Element Retail, India’s strongest fitness focused retail experience provider recently added another iconic name to its enviable list of brand associations-the Taiwan-based world’s largest bicycle manufacturer Giant Manufacturers Co. With this tie-up, Element Retail, which has already developed a massive user base from its collaborations with premium brands such as Asics, Speedo and Apple, aims to offer a comprehensive, end-to-end experience to its users in the fitness domain.

Giant Manufacturers Co is the most recognized and revered name in the annals of bicycling, having been the leading manufacturer, innovator and pioneer of competitive on-road and off-road bicycles for decades now. From designing the highly efficient Compact Road bicycle framework to manufacturing the first mass-produced carbon fibre road bicycle in the world, almost every modern-day bicycling innovation owes its origins to Giant’s manufacturing plants.

Element Retail aims to make the most of the growing consciousness regarding fitness in India by introducing Giant Manufacturers Co to the country at this opportune time. The bicycling industry is growing strongly in India, specifically in the 16-45 age group, who value it as a highly enjoyable full-body workout activity. Cycling enthusiasts are spread across tier-I and II cities, and Element Retail aims to further boost this development by strategically associating with cycling events across India.

Commenting on the association, Aditya Bafna, MD, Element Retail, said, “It is a matter of great honour for us to associate with the best brand in the world of cycling. Giant’s products are a result of cutting-edge technology, optimized design and the best quality material coming together to create cycles that are not only fast, but comfortable, visually stunning and extremely easy to maneuver. Giant’s bikes are a regular feature across various global cycling competitions such as Tour de France, UCI World Championships, Giro d’Italia etc. and have been endorsed by many top professional cyclists. By associating with Giant Manufacturers Co, we believe we will be able to develop a new riding culture in the country and offer the best cycling experience to cyclists all over India.”

Over the next few months, Element Retail aims to implement an aggressive marketing and collaborative strategy that will include conceptualization and execution of brand new-activities centered around cycling and making Indian users aware of the massive brand value of Giant Manufacturers Co. It also plans to make the products available across a large number of offline channels to help enthusiasts get their hands on their next cool bicycle easily and zip through the streets, the ‘Giant’ way.

Re: Giant Manufacturers Co., World's Largest Bicycle Manufacturer Partners Element Re

Friends,

I had the pleasure of having an Email Q&A session with Mr. Aditya Bafna, MD, Element Retail in regards to their recent association with Giant Manufacturers Co.

Here are the Questions I sent and his thoughtful responses on the same.​

Q1: Will Element Retail be marketing the Bicycles of Giant Manufacturers as well by having separate showrooms for the customers?

A: Yes Element Retail is the official Partner with Giant Manufacturer . yes we would be having exclusive dealership setups.

Q2: Do you plan to organize fitness workshops in India to further inform the people about the benefits of cycling and staying healthy?

A: Yes we would be taking passionate cyclists and fitness oriented people on board to explain and take workshops on how cycling will be beneficial for health and fitness. Infact we are in the process to tie up with celebrities who into fitness and more over cycling.

Q3: In India do you plan to organize cycling events as well and which all National Cycling events do you intend to associate with?

A: Yes we plan to organise cycling events across India. We would be doing our own events as the events happening today , there are very few cycling events which meet the standards we are looking at, so we would be doing our own events as far as cycling is concerned.

Q4: Alongwith Cycling, which other sports do you plan to associate with in future?

A: Our company (Element Retail) is focused towards fitness from day one. After getting Giant , we have completed the circle of fitness , as we are already partners with Asics in Maharashtra and Speedo in some parts of Maharashtra. I am proud to say that we are the only company which has all three sports brands which are the best in their own field of fitness. Which was the vision of the company.

Q5: Do you also intend to collaborate with a sportsperson / celebrity to promote this association?

A: Yes as I have mentioned earlier , we would be collaborating with celebs and sportsperson which would go best with the brand.

Q6: What differentiates Giant Manufacturers Co.’s Bicycles from other Road & Off Road Bicycles on offer?

A: As Giant is the no 1 manufacturer of bicycles in the world, its needless to say about the market share they enjoy. Technically Giant is a far superior bike as they are the innovators in the industry.

Re: Giant Manufacturers Co., World's Largest Bicycle Manufacturer Partners Element Re

That's a wonderful news! Pardon my ignorance, but this is the first time I'm hearing the word Element Retail. Did a Google search and found out more. Looks like Element retail operates only in Maharashtra as of now. Any idea/clue on how Element Retail is planning to enter other states/markets outside Maharashtra?

Cheers!
