Dubai, UAE — Vibe Media Group has officially launched Retail World, a new global intelligence platform dedicated to the business of retail.
Designed for senior executives, decision-makers, and industry leaders, Retail World aims to provide integrated coverage of the forces reshaping modern commerce—from artificial intelligence and supply chains to retail media, customer experience, store operations, and digital transformation.

Published by Vibe Media Group, the company behind Fast Company Middle East and MIT Sloan Management Review Middle East, Retail World is built on the belief that today’s retail industry can no longer be understood through isolated topics or traditional trade reporting.
“Retail is no longer a collection of separate functions. Pricing influences inventory. Inventory shapes logistics. Logistics impacts customer experience, which ultimately drives loyalty and profitability. Every decision across the retail value chain is interconnected,” said Ravi Raman, Publisher, Retail World.
Unlike conventional retail publications that focus on individual sectors or categories, Retail World brings together the complete retail ecosystem through six editorial pillars: Technology, Intelligence, Operations, Design, People, and Insights. Together, these areas examine how businesses can build more resilient, data-driven, and customer-centric retail organisations.
A key differentiator for the platform will be its investment in proprietary research. Rather than simply reporting industry news, Retail World plans to develop original benchmarks and industry studies that evaluate areas such as retail technology maturity, AI adoption, retail media effectiveness, omnichannel capabilities, and the future competitiveness of retail destinations.
Beyond editorial coverage, Retail World will expand into executive forums, original video programming, proprietary research reports, and the Retail World Forum & Awards, creating a platform where retail leaders can exchange ideas, share best practices, and explore emerging opportunities shaping the future of commerce.
