Rising 7 stories high, 7Stories Ranjanas, stands tall attracting the eye of all passers-by with its intricately adorned exterior while the small glimpses of exquisite items displayed through the windows beckon one to step inside to explore. Each floor has its own story to tell and as one walks through, a tale of choice, quality and allure unfolds for the whole family to indulge in. Fashioned under the vision of Ranjanas CEO/Director and S/O Deshamanya K. Doraisamy (group Chairman and Veteran businessman) Dr. D. Venkateshwaran, the whole concept encompassing this wonderful shopping mall has come alive with their dedication and passion. “We cater to the families from all walks of life,” said Dr. Venkateshwaran. “There is a wrong perception that as this building’s elevation is big, we

cater to a higher market segment. But our prices are very competitive and branded items in the store are not duplicate. I am very concerned about the quality and variety.” Fashioned as a shopping mall that is a one-stop-shopping destination with a single entry and exit point, a shopper’s journey to unlimited options will start from the basement where the 7’O’ Fresh supermarket, a fully fledged supermarket, is located.
