Exploring New Horizons: Valet Seller's Visit to Target's Innovation Hub in Bangalore

At Valet Seller, we're dedicated to connecting international brands with the vast opportunities in the U.S. retail market. During a recent trip to India, our team had the exciting opportunity to visit Target's impressive operations in Bangalore and meet with key e-commerce leaders.

A Glimpse into Target's Growing Ecosystem in India

Target's Bangalore office is a powerhouse of innovation, with over 4,700 talented employees driving advancements across technology, merchandising, supply chain, and e-commerce. This global capability center plays a crucial role in supporting Target's ambitious growth, including the goal to expand Target Plus marketplace revenue significantly by 2030. We were grateful for the warm welcome and insightful discussions with leaders including Ritesh Raman, Rishabh Vyas, Aarthiy Devendran, Kaustav Ritwik, Ankita Sahewala, and Dilip Kumar. Conversations centered on future retail trends, priority categories for 2026, and the evolving landscape of U.S. e-commerce.

Bridging Global Brands to U.S. Success
