Sweden-based furniture retail company, IKEA opened its first store in India today. The home furnishing company has employed 950 people directly and another 1,500 indirectly at the Hyderabad store and plans to hire more 15,000 employees. While IKEA has been sourcing products for three decades, the store marks a milestone in their investments in the Indian market. As the store opened today, social media is flooded with pictures of the fully furnished stores with their stylish and quirky interiors being the highlight.
The store in Hyderabad is the first of 25 outlets planned to be set up in India by 2025. The second store would be in Mumbai next year, followed by Bengaluru and Delhi-NCR. They have customised their service for Indian customers and will offer delivery and assembly service for those who are not familiar with the DIY (do it yourself) concept.

Earlier they were in the news when it was announced that IKEA has customised their food menu for the Indian audiences keeping in mind the religious sentiments and thus replacing all dishes with chicken.
Now literally, all roads lead to . Look at the aerial view of a pic taken from 15th floor of Divya Shree Orion 30 minutes ago. Wait time for a "U" turn is 24 minutes currently. Politicos take almost no time to make a "U" turn, not a car 😀
