Entrepreneurship is required in those fields in which an individual can go in with small capital and his expertise and go on to create a company which usually yields returns of the order of 10x or more. The ‘natural barriers’ to enter into organized retail are so large that it would not be wise for and an entrepreneur to jump into it and think that he will be able to compete with the likes of Reliance, Bharti, Wal-Mart etc. Also, organized retail is something which tests your operational and logistics skill rather than entrepreneurship abilities.
Though organized retail is in practice around the globe for many decades now, it’s only now that it is making an entry into India in a big way. The reasons for this are many. With a booming economy and burgeoning middle class the shopping habits of Indians are changing fast. Malls and multiplexes and making headway into tier II and tier III cities also after mushrooming in the metros. Also the fact that organized retail accounts for only 3% of retail sales in India there’s a huge untapped potential. So much so that every conglomerate wants a piece of the pie. No wonder that every business house from Birlas to Ambanis is busy chalking out their retail plans. Though it will be too early for them to start counting their chickens as the government policy is still hazy and huge amount of expertise is required to run a pan- India retail network. There is scarce managerial talent in retail business and salaries are already skyrocketing. The government is still in process of studying the effect of organized retail on ‘mom-n- pop’ stores and the economy as a whole. There is huge pressure on government from foreign multinationals to allow FDI in retail. Of course local giants are keen to put their plans in place before foreign players are allowed to move in. The bleak chances of FDI in retail have forced foreign retail giants to look for local partners. Bharti has joined hands with Wal-Mart after failed talks with UK giant Tesco. Shopper’s stop has inked a deal with UK’s Home Retail group to develop Argos retail stores. Bombay Dyeing has tied up with France’s Auchen.Local retailers who already have a huge presence in India include Future Group (former Pantaloons), Subhiksha, Shopper’s Stop, RPG group. While Reliance retail, Tata, Bharti and Aditya Birla group are soon to start rolling out their retail plans. 2 The most bullish of them all is Reliance with plans to invest Rs. 25,000 crore in its retail venture. With Mukesh Ambani in driving seat there’s little doubt that reliance will change how Indians shop. His plans include selling everything from vegetables to cars under one roof and even deploying cargo planes to make sure that you get fruits and vegetables ‘farm-fresh’. Reliance has already opened 50 ‘Reliance Fresh’ stores with the very first in Hyderabad. Reliance plans to launch 1000 stores by this year end. Reliance Retail will launch its hypermarket, supermarket and specialty formats in April-June quarter this year. Reliance and Bharti also have plans to set up Micro Finance Institutions along with their retail chains. While Bharti will also offer telecom services in its retail stores. As a result of hyper growth plans and rushed hiring, most retail ventures are struggling to keep pace. A massive churn is already taking place in retail space while real estate prices in prime locations are going over the roof. Most retail ventures are going in for mixed strategy when acquiring retail space. Some are just buying the land and
then building their stores while others are buying finished commercial space or just renting it. When there is a huge competition in market it’s always a win-win for consumers. They can expect better services from ‘mom-n-pop’ stores and great bargains at their local mall. After all, it’s all about the customers. To keep the prices low the retailers are doing everything from buying cargo planes to sourcing fruits and vegetables directly from farmers. Also the retail stores promise to give the consumers more choices and a better shopping experience. With the economy growing at 10%, nobody is complaining about the money being put in behind these retail ventures. Though, initially there will be a few surprises and a few new lessons learnt the long term story looks promising. 3 RETAIL IN INDIA India represents an economic opportunity on a massive scale, both as a global base and as a domestic market. Indian Retail sector consists of small family-owned stores, located in residential areas, with a shop floor of less than 500 square feet. At present the organized sector accounts for only 2 to 4% of the total market although this is expected to rise by 20 to 25% on YOY basis. Retail growth in the coming five years is expected to be stronger than GDP growth, driven by changing lifestyles and by strong income growth, which in turn will be supported by favorable demographic patterns and the extent to which organized retailers succeed in reaching lower down the income scale to reach potential consumers towards the bottom of the consumer pyramid. Growing consumer credit will also help in boosting consumer demand. The structure of retailing will also develop rapidly. Shopping malls are becoming increasingly common in large cities, and announced development plans project at least 150 new shopping malls by 2008. The number of department stores is growing much faster than overall retail, at an annual 24%. Supermarkets have been taking an increasing share of general food and grocery trade over the last 2 decades. However, Distribution continues to improve, but it still remains a major inefficiency. Poor quality of infrastructure, coupled with poor quality of the distribution sector, results in logistics costs that are very high as a proportion of GDP, and inventories, which have to be maintained at an unusually high level. Distribution and marketing is a huge cost in Indian consumer markets. It’s a lot easier to cut manufacturing costs than it is to cut distribution and marketing costs. Also, government has relaxed regulatory controls on foreign direct investment (FDI)
considerably in recent years, while retailing currently remains closed to FDI. However, the Indian government has indicated in 2005 that liberalization of direct investment in retailing is under active consideration. It has allowed 51% FDI in “single brand” retail. 4 The next cycle of change in Indian consumer markets will be the arrival of foreign players in consumer retailing. Although FDI remains highly restricted in retailing, most companies believe that will not be for long. Indian companies know Indian markets better, but foreign players will come in and challenge the locals by sheer cash power, the power to drive down prices. That will be the coming struggle.

IN INDIA
India is one of the largest emerging markets, with a population of over one billion. India is one of the largest economies in the world in terms of purchasing power and has a strong middle class base of 300 million.
Around 70 per cent of the total households in India reside in the rural areas, where mostly traditional retail outlets, commonly called kirana stores exist. These are unorganized, operated by single person and runs on the basis of consumer familiarity with the owner. However, recently organized retailing has become more popular in big cities in India and most of the metropolitan cities and other big cities are flooded by modern organized retail stores. Many semi-urban areas also witnesses entry of such organized retail outlets. Till now, entry of foreign retailers was restricted in Indian retail market because of the ban on Foreign Direct Investment in Indian Retail Sector. But recently, as government has changed its policy and the cabinet has allowed 51 per cent FDI in single-brand retail, the prospects of foreign players entering India became high. India is called a nation of shop keepers and organized retail which has just made an entry has a very small share estimated between 2-4% of total retail in the country. The entry of major retailers in the country has raised passions among the politicians, policy makers and smaller retailers that the presence of bigger organized retailers would lead to the elimination of the smaller shop keepers leading to a large scale problem of unemployment and maybe even social problems. 5 FMCG RETAIL IN INDIA India is one of the largest emerging markets, with a population of over one billion.

The idea the company spoke about was to source from farmers and sell directly to the consumer removing middlemen out of the way. Reliance may exit some businesses If the business does not increases by March 2008. Reliance Fresh, Reliance Mart, Reliance Digital, Reliance Trendz, Reliance Footprint, Reliance Wellness, Reliance Jewels, Reliance Timeout and Reliance Super are various formats that Reliance has rolled out. In addition, Reliance Retail has entered into an alliance with Apple for setting up a chain of Apple Specialty Stores branded as iStore, starting with Bangalore. 13 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY 13 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY 14 Objectives Ob

Entrepreneurship is required in those fields in which an individual can go in with small capital and his expertise and go on to create a company which usually yields returns of the order of 10x or more. The ‘natural barriers’ to enter into organized retail are so large that it would not be wise for and an entrepreneur to jump into it and think that he will be able to compete with the likes of Reliance, Bharti, Wal-Mart etc. Also, organized retail is something which tests your operational and logistics skill rather than entrepreneurship abilities.
Though organized retail is in practice around the globe for many decades now, it’s only now that it is making an entry into India in a big way. The reasons for this are many. With a booming economy and burgeoning middle class the shopping habits of Indians are changing fast. Malls and multiplexes and making headway into tier II and tier III cities also after mushrooming in the metros. Also the fact that organized retail accounts for only 3% of retail sales in India there’s a huge untapped potential. So much so that every conglomerate wants a piece of the pie. No wonder that every business house from Birlas to Ambanis is busy chalking out their retail plans. Though it will be too early for them to start counting their chickens as the government policy is still hazy and huge amount of expertise is required to run a pan- India retail network. There is scarce managerial talent in retail business and salaries are already skyrocketing. The government is still in process of studying the effect of organized retail on ‘mom-n- pop’ stores and the economy as a whole. There is huge pressure on government from foreign multinationals to allow FDI in retail. Of course local giants are keen to put their plans in place before foreign players are allowed to move in. The bleak chances of FDI in retail have forced foreign retail giants to look for local partners. Bharti has joined hands with Wal-Mart after failed talks with UK giant Tesco. Shopper’s stop has inked a deal with UK’s Home Retail group to develop Argos retail stores. Bombay Dyeing has tied up with France’s Auchen.Local retailers who already have a huge presence in India include Future Group (former Pantaloons), Subhiksha, Shopper’s Stop, RPG group. While Reliance retail, Tata, Bharti and Aditya Birla group are soon to start rolling out their retail plans. 2 The most bullish of them all is Reliance with plans to invest Rs. 25,000 crore in its retail venture. With Mukesh Ambani in driving seat there’s little doubt that reliance will change how Indians shop. His plans include selling everything from vegetables to cars under one roof and even deploying cargo planes to make sure that you get fruits and vegetables ‘farm-fresh’. Reliance has already opened 50 ‘Reliance Fresh’ stores with the very first in Hyderabad. Reliance plans to launch 1000 stores by this year end. Reliance Retail will launch its hypermarket, supermarket and specialty formats in April-June quarter this year. Reliance and Bharti also have plans to set up Micro Finance Institutions along with their retail chains. While Bharti will also offer telecom services in its retail stores. As a result of hyper growth plans and rushed hiring, most retail ventures are struggling to keep pace. A massive churn is already taking place in retail space while real estate prices in prime locations are going over the roof. Most retail ventures are going in for mixed strategy when acquiring retail space. Some are just buying the land and
then building their stores while others are buying finished commercial space or just renting it. When there is a huge competition in market it’s always a win-win for consumers. They can expect better services from ‘mom-n-pop’ stores and great bargains at their local mall. After all, it’s all about the customers. To keep the prices low the retailers are doing everything from buying cargo planes to sourcing fruits and vegetables directly from farmers. Also the retail stores promise to give the consumers more choices and a better shopping experience. With the economy growing at 10%, nobody is complaining about the money being put in behind these retail ventures. Though, initially there will be a few surprises and a few new lessons learnt the long term story looks promising. 3 RETAIL IN INDIA India represents an economic opportunity on a massive scale, both as a global base and as a domestic market. Indian Retail sector consists of small family-owned stores, located in residential areas, with a shop floor of less than 500 square feet. At present the organized sector accounts for only 2 to 4% of the total market although this is expected to rise by 20 to 25% on YOY basis. Retail growth in the coming five years is expected to be stronger than GDP growth, driven by changing lifestyles and by strong income growth, which in turn will be supported by favorable demographic patterns and the extent to which organized retailers succeed in reaching lower down the income scale to reach potential consumers towards the bottom of the consumer pyramid. Growing consumer credit will also help in boosting consumer demand. The structure of retailing will also develop rapidly. Shopping malls are becoming increasingly common in large cities, and announced development plans project at least 150 new shopping malls by 2008. The number of department stores is growing much faster than overall retail, at an annual 24%. Supermarkets have been taking an increasing share of general food and grocery trade over the last 2 decades. However, Distribution continues to improve, but it still remains a major inefficiency. Poor quality of infrastructure, coupled with poor quality of the distribution sector, results in logistics costs that are very high as a proportion of GDP, and inventories, which have to be maintained at an unusually high level. Distribution and marketing is a huge cost in Indian consumer markets. It’s a lot easier to cut manufacturing costs than it is to cut distribution and marketing costs. Also, government has relaxed regulatory controls on foreign direct investment (FDI)
considerably in recent years, while retailing currently remains closed to FDI. However, the Indian government has indicated in 2005 that liberalization of direct investment in retailing is under active consideration. It has allowed 51% FDI in “single brand” retail. 4 The next cycle of change in Indian consumer markets will be the arrival of foreign players in consumer retailing. Although FDI remains highly restricted in retailing, most companies believe that will not be for long. Indian companies know Indian markets better, but foreign players will come in and challenge the locals by sheer cash power, the power to drive down prices. That will be the coming struggle.

IN INDIA
India is one of the largest emerging markets, with a population of over one billion. India is one of the largest economies in the world in terms of purchasing power and has a strong middle class base of 300 million.
Around 70 per cent of the total households in India reside in the rural areas, where mostly traditional retail outlets, commonly called kirana stores exist. These are unorganized, operated by single person and runs on the basis of consumer familiarity with the owner. However, recently organized retailing has become more popular in big cities in India and most of the metropolitan cities and other big cities are flooded by modern organized retail stores. Many semi-urban areas also witnesses entry of such organized retail outlets. Till now, entry of foreign retailers was restricted in Indian retail market because of the ban on Foreign Direct Investment in Indian Retail Sector. But recently, as government has changed its policy and the cabinet has allowed 51 per cent FDI in single-brand retail, the prospects of foreign players entering India became high. India is called a nation of shop keepers and organized retail which has just made an entry has a very small share estimated between 2-4% of total retail in the country. The entry of major retailers in the country has raised passions among the politicians, policy makers and smaller retailers that the presence of bigger organized retailers would lead to the elimination of the smaller shop keepers leading to a large scale problem of unemployment and maybe even social problems. 5 FMCG RETAIL IN INDIA India is one of the largest emerging markets, with a population of over one billion.
