INTRODUCTION:
The sale of goods or commodities in small quantities directly to consumers is
known as retailing. A "retailer" buys goods or products in large quantities from
manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells
smaller quantities to the end user.
Retail is Indias largest industry, accounting for over 10 percent of the countrys
GDP and around eight percent of employment. Retail in India is at the
crossroads. It has emerged as one of the most dynamic and fast paced industries
with several players entering the market. That said, the heavy initial investments
required make break even hard to achieve and many players have not tasted
success to date. However, the future is promising; the market is growing,
government policies are becoming more favorable and emerging technologies
are facilitating operations.
The Indian retail industry in valued at about $300 billion and is expected to
grow to $427 billion in 2010 and $637 billion in 2015. Only three percent of
Indian retail is organized. Retailers of multiple brands can operate through a
franchise or a cash-and-carry wholesale model.

Retailing in India is gradually inching its way to becoming the next boom
industry. The whole concept of shopping has altered in terms of format and
consumer buying behavior, ushering in a revolution in shopping. Modern retail
has entered India as seen in sprawling shopping centers, multi-stored malls and
huge complexes offer shopping, entertainment and food all under one roof.
The Indian retailing sector is at an inflexion point where the growth of
organized retail and growth in the consumption by Indians is going to adopt a
higher growth trajectory. The Indian population is witnessing a significant
change in its demographics. A large young working population with median age
of 24 years, nuclear families in urban areas, along with increasing working-
women population and emerging opportunities in the services sector are going
to be the key growth drivers of the organized retail sector.

Future Plans
The company's flagship chain Reliance Fresh sells staples and food items under
Reliance Select
Nearly 30 months ago, Reliance Industries announced an ambitious plans to
invest Rs 25,000 crore (Rs 250 billion) to expand its stores in the country to
take the advantage of organized retail in the country.
Initially, the company was planning to open 2,000 stores by 2008, and 5,000
stores by 2010, but due to a delay in delivery of properties, economic downturn
and demand slump the company had to scale back its expansion plans.
8/8/2019 MANISH Reliance Fresh Repaired)
22/55
Reliance Retail runs over 850 stores, which include stores for food and grocery,
consumer durables, beauty and wellness, jewellery, footwear, among others.
Its formats such as apparel chain Reliance Trends, beauty and wellness format
Reliance Wellness, consumer durable chain Reliance Digital have private labels
or are in the process of launching private labels.
"The whole idea of private labels is based on pricing and retailers get enough
volumes on their shelf at marginal costing. Retailers have an opportunity to sell
their private labels to kirana stores.
But it depends on their strategy on pricing and marketing right products," said
Naimish Dave, a director with OC & C Strategy Consultants.
Challenges facing the Indian Organized Retail sector
The challenges facing the Indian organized retail sector are various and theseare stopping the Indian retail industry from reaching its full potential.
I) Changing Consumer Purchasing Patterns
The behaviour pattern of the Indian consumer has undergone a major change.
This has happened for the Indian consumer is earning more now, western
influences, women working force is increasing, desire for luxury items and
better quality. He now wants to eat, shop, and get entertained under the same
roof. All these have lead the Indian organized retail sector to give more in order
to satisfy Indian customers so that customer stay loyal with the company.
8/8/2019 MANISH Reliance Fresh Repaired)
23/55
II) Lack of Retail Space
With real estate prices escalating due to increase in demand from the Indian
organized retail sector, it is posing a challenge to its growth. With Indian
retailers having to shell out more for retail space it is effecting there overall
profitability in retail.
III) Shortage of Trained Man Power:
The Indian retailers have difficultly in finding trained person and also have to
pay more in order to retain them. This again brings down the Indian retailers
profit.
IV) Poor Supply Chain
It is the supply chain that ensures to the customer in all the various offerings
that a company decides for its customers, be it cost, service, or the quickness in
responding to ever changing tastes of the customer.
The infrastructure in India in terms of road, rail, and air links are not sufficient.
This make a poor supply chain and companies have to depend upon
warehousing.

Moreover, there must be some attention generating advertisements or
promotion which could provoke customer to come in.

ANALYSIS AND SUGGESTION
65 % respondents agreed that store in free from odor but 35 % against this point
of view.
Some of the customers complained that a lot of junk of garbage type vegetables
were there. Old Fruits and Vegetables be the main reason of odor in the store. A
person doesnt want to even stand on that place where unusual smell comes and
from here they purchase food item, you can imagine the impact of the stores
reputation after this incident.

dust then, what is the differentiation we are creating in our stores and a local
market shop.
Spot fill during the shopping hour is the main reason that a customer point out
for a lot of unwanted and unsettled product on the floor.

employees of the store.

denied this point of view.
Clean Display of product and shelves create a differentiation in a store. Most of

ANALYSIS AND SUGGESTION
30% of the total respondent agrees that fresh products are available but 70%
denied that.
Fresh product must be available to the consumer because he is paying for that.
According to our
Research fresh means products must be of 15 days before the expiry date.
If it comes to fresh products, most of the consumers said they are not satisfied
with the Freshness of products. In F & V Section, most of the vegetable and
fruits show the lack of freshness.

ANALYSIS AND SUGGESTION
62 % of the people agree with the display of price is quite understandable.
Every customer cant provide an employee from the company to guide them on
the detail of price of each and every product. So, an effective display of [price is
better option but it must be in that manners which is quite understandable to the
customers.
Somewhere a problem like non-display of the price happens. In reliance fresh
stores, every product is provided with SEL(Shelf Edge Label) which carriesprice,date of that labels attachment and the ENR no of the product.

ANALYSIS AND SUGGESTION
72 % of the total respondent satisfied with the promotions of the Reliance Fresh.
Promotions are the main reason a person comes in the store. Some people camejust for the purchase the promotional items.
Promotion must be quite understandable, acceptable and effective. There are
more spaces for the promotion. There are not much of the promotions of the
products.
Some promotional ways used by the store are MANGALWAR KI MANDI,
MANGO MELA etc. These are effective but not proper implementation ofthese promotions makes them fail.

and money both are waste.
There were a lot of promotion but to make them aware to the customers need

A store cant provide each and every product to the customers but still there was
a lack of different brand and packaging options in the store.
Sometimes if a customer demand a particular product then, most of the times he

62 % of the respondent said they are not greeted by the cashiers.
First person who interact with the customer at entrance is watchman who must
greet to the customers which is not happening. A cashier must give vote of
thanks to the customers for shopping in their store.
Greeting is an expression which is like an invitation to the customers to come
again and again.

ANALYSIS AND SUGGESTION
34 % of the respondent spent more than 15 minutes in the queue waiting for
their billing.
A customer just hates to be there in the queue. As every product comes under
the barcode decoder for their price detection, it takes a lot of time for making a
bill.
In this case, if a customer comes with a product, then he has to wait for a long
time for billing. There is the function in the software in that particular situation
but cashier doesnt knows that how to use that function of software. So training
of employees is also a mean to solve this problem.

Most of the customer use to indulge in the silly talk.
They didnt even think what customer will think, they just talk about the defects
in the stores and about the management and that create the negative impact on
stores image.

MYSTRY SHOPPING
Every RELIANCE FRESH STORE is made with a particular vision and it
works like a system. But this system is not working upto expectation and
defined standard. So to check out where we are lacking behind,we were
assigned one more project named as MYSTRY SHOPPING.
This was the part of our project in which we have to go in reliance fresh store
and its competitors store as a consumer and find out what are the difference
between the workings of these stores.
We covered almost all stores of Reliance Fresh and its competitors located at
North Delhi area. Some of them were big in size some of them were small in
size. Some are located in out skirt areas and some are in crowded market.
We analyze following stores in North and Central Delhi and in South Delhi :
Reliance fresh Molar band Reliance Fresh, Rohini. Reliance Fresh, Pitampura. Reliance Fresh, shadra. Reliance Fresh, Paschim Vihar. Reliance Fresh, Sant Nagar. Reliance Fresh, Greater Kailash. Reliance Fresh, Laxmi Nagar.

It was not only about observing different store but also understanding
employees feeling for a customer. In some of the store, we were provided with
money also and we purchased the listed items from the stores for getting the
idea about availability of product in the stores.
We analyse all the Reliance Fresh Store and its competitors stores on some fix
parameters and compare them to find out where we are lacking behind.
Some stores found different way of selling and promotions. Some were totally
on the wrong pattern and made us disappointed.

RECOMMENDATION:
Nobody will ring a bell and tell you to attention the facts that you are entering
into such a transition. Its a gradual process. The characteristics of business
begins to change. Only the beginning and the ends are clear.
So in this situation, how a business manages this transition determine its future
this phenomenon is call as inflection point.
In the market there are some potential customer also giving a punch like FAIR
PRICE. Infrastructure and ambiance are not at par but their location is just in
front of Reliance Fresh store, Their prices are much lesser, So that is a potential
competitor.

Things if happen or something has changed, then business need to respond on
that.
INFLECTION POINT NEW
HEIGHTS
DECLINE

51/55
RELIANCE FRESH is at its inflection point.
An inflection point occurs when the old strategic picture diddolved and gives
way to new heights. we need to navigate our business.
An inflection point comes when we doubt on ourselves that where we are going
arent we lost?
Where growing dissonance between corporate statement and operational action.
That hints more than normal chaos.Misallingment between what your company
think it is doing and what is actually happening inside the box of organization.
So, timing is everything, if you undertake these changes while your company is
still healthy in which you can experiment with new ways of doing business so
that you can save much more of your companys strength , your employee and
your stretgic position.
When any business got into Inflection point, what is most important that is our
judgement.Your judgments got you in tough position but it can also get you out.
Its just a question of training your instinct to pick up a different set of signals.

The Inflection Point is a time to wake up and listen.
We need to find out the possibilities that what our business is doing can be done
in some different way. That different way we have to find.
Its like we need a new paint on the business of same colour but little shiny.
