Virtuous Retail South Asia (VRSA) is a joint venture between Singapore-based private equity firm Xander Group and Dutch institutional investor APG. The company owns and operates a portfolio of retail assets across India, including shopping malls in major cities like Chennai, Bengaluru, Surat, Amritsar, Nagpur, and Chandigarh.[1][2][3][4]
History[edit]
Virtuous Retail was founded in 2007 by Xander Group to develop community-centric retail and mixed-use projects in India.[5] In 2016, Xander partnered with APG to form a $450 million joint venture, with APG holding a majority stake of 77%[5]. The joint venture company, Virtuous Retail South Asia, acquired three retail assets from a Xander-backed fund for ₹2,000 crore.[5]
Since then, VRSA has expanded its portfolio through organic growth and acquisitions. In 2019, the company acquired two shopping malls from Tata Realty and Infrastructure Ltd for ₹700 crore. VRSA currently has a total of six operational malls and two under-construction projects in Thane and Delhi.[6][7][8][3]
