PART IGENERAL INFORMATION

Chapter 1:- OVERVIEW OF INDIAN RETAIL INDUSTRYThe word "Retail" originates from a French-Italian word "retailer" meaning someone who cuts off or shreds a small piece from something. Retailing includes activities of marketing and selling products or services to end consumers for their own household or personal use. Retailer is a Person or Agent or Company or Organization who is instrumental in reaching the Goods or Merchandise or Services to the End User or Ultimate Consumer.

What is retailing?Retailing is a distribution channel function, where one organisation buys products from supplying firms or manufactures products themselves, and then sells these directly to consumers.In majority of retail situations, the organisation, from whom a consumer buys, is a reseller of products obtained from others, and not the product manufacturer. However, some manufacturers do operate their own retail outlets in a corporate channel arrangement.Retailers offer many benefits to suppliers and customers as resellers. Consumers, for instance, are able to purchase small quantities of an assortment of products at a reasonably affordable price. Similarly, suppliers get an opportunity to reach their target market, build product demand through retail promotions, and provide consumer feedback to the product marketer.Most Indian shopping happens in open markets or numerous small grocery and retail shops. Shoppers typically wait outside the shop, ask for what they want, and cannot pick or examine a product from the shelf.Access to the shelf or product storage area is limited. Once the shopper requests the food staple or household product they are looking for, the shopkeeper goes to the container or shelf or to the back of the store, brings it out and offers it for sale to the shopper. Often the shopkeeper may substitute the product, claiming that it is similar or equivalent to the product the consumer is asking for. The product typically has no price label in these small retail shops; although some products do have a manufactured suggested retail price (MSRP) pre-printed on the packaging. The shopkeeper prices the food staple and household products arbitrarily, and two consumers may pay different prices for the same product on the same day. Price is sometimes negotiated between the shopper and shopkeeper. The shoppers do not have time to examine the product label, and do not have a choice to make an informed decision between competitive products.India's retail and logistics industry, organized and unorganized in combination, employs about 40 million Indians (3.3% of Indian population). The typical Indian retail shops are very small. Over 14 million outlets operate in the country and only 4% of them being larger than 500sq.ft. (46m2) in size. India has about 11 shop outlets for every 1000 people. Vast majority of the unorganized retail shops in India employ family members, do not have the scale to procure or transport products at high volume wholesale level, have limited to no quality control or fake-versus-authentic product screening technology and have no training on safe and hygienic storage, packaging or logistics. The unorganized retail shops source their products from a chain of middlemen who mark up the product as it moves from farmer or producer to the consumer. The unorganized retail shops typically offer no after-sales support or service. Finally, most transactions at unorganized retail shops are done with cash, with all sales being final.Until the 1990s, regulations prevented innovation and entrepreneurship in Indian retailing. Some retails faced complying with over thirty regulations such as "signboard licenses" and "anti-hoarding measures" before they could open doors. There are taxes for moving goods to states, from states, and even within states in some cases. Farmers and producers had to go through middlemen monopolies. The logistics and infrastructure was very poor, with losses exceeding 30 percent.Through the 1990s, India introduced widespread free market reforms, including some related to retail. In between 2000 to 2010, consumers in select Indian cities have gradually begun to experience the quality, choice, convenience and benefits of organized retail industry.

Global Retail Scenario

Retailing has played a major role in the global economy. In developed markets, retailing is one of the most prominent industries. In 2008, the US retail sector contributed 31% to the GDP at current market prices. In developed economies, organized retail has a 75-80% share in total retail as compared with developing economies, where un-organized retail has a dominant share.(Table no. 1 = Global retail scenario of all the world)[footnoteRef:2] [2: ]

Global retail sales was estimated to be around US$ 12 trillion in 20072; however, in 2008, the slowdown in the global economy, especially in the US, and credit crunch, decreased consumer spending. On a global level, the economy performed robustly till 2007, but the US crisis spread over to Europe in early 2008, and its impact was felt in the Asia-Pacific region by mid-2008.

India has the highest number of retail outlets in the world at over 13 million retail outlets, and the average size of one store is 50-100 square feet. It also has the highest number of outlets (11,903) per million inhabitants. The per capita retail space in India is among the lowest in the world, though the per capita retail store is the highest. Majority of these stores are located in rural areas. Retail formats in India:

Chapter: - 3Kind of Indianretail industry

The Indian retail industry is divided into organized and unorganized sectors. The Indian retail sector is highly fragmented, with a major share of its business is being run by unorganized retailers like the traditional family run stores and corner stores. The organized retail however is at a very nascent stage, though attempts are being made to increase its proportion bringing in a huge opportunity for prospective new players.There are two types of Retailing: Organized Retailing Unorganized Retailing

Organized RetailingOrganized retailing refers to trading activities undertaken by licensed retailers, that is, those who are registered for sales tax, income tax, etc. These include the corporate-backed hypermarkets and retail chains, and also the privately owned large retail businesses. Unorganized RetailingIndian retail is dominated by a large number of small retailers consisting of the local kirana shops, owner-manned general stores, chemists, footwear shops, apparel shops, paan and beedi (local betel leaf and tobacco) shops, hand-cart hawkers, pavement vendors, etc. which together make up the so-called "unorganized retail" or traditional retail.

Organized retail has a 31 per cent share in clothing and apparel and continues to see growth in this sector. The home segment shows promise, growing 20 to 30 per cent per year.

Different categories of organizing retail sector [footnoteRef:5] [5: ]

CHALLENGES TO RETAIL DEVELOPMENT IN INDIA

Organized retail in India is little over a decade old. It is largely an urban phenomenon and the pace of growth is still slow. Some of the reasons for this slow growth are: - The Kiranas ContinueThe very first challenge facing the organized retail industry in India is competition from the unorganized sector. Traditionally retailing has established in India for centuries. It is a low cost structure, mostly owner operated, has negligible real estate and labor costs and little or no taxes to pay. Consumer familiarity that runs from generation to generation is one big advantage for the traditional retailing sector. On the other hand, organized sector have big expenses to meet and yet have to keep prices low enough to compete with the traditional sector. Retailnot beingrecogning as an industry in IndiaLack of recognition as an industry hampers the availability of finance to the existing and new players. This affects growth and expansion plans. The High cost of Real estateReal estate prices in some cities in India are amongst the highest in the world. The lease or rent of property is one of the major areas of expenditure; a high lease rental reduces the profitability of a project. High Stamp dutiesIn addition to the high cost of real estate the sector also faces very high stamp duties on transfer of property, which varies from state to state (12.5% in Gujarat and 8% in Delhi). The problem is compounded by problems of clear titles to ownership, while at the same time land use conversion is time consuming and complex as is the legal process for settling of property disputes. Lack of adequate infrastructurePoor roads and the lack of a cold chain infrastructure hampers the development of food and grocery retail in India. The existing supermarkets and foods retailers have to invest a substantial amount of money and time in building a cold chain network. Multiple and complex taxation system The sales tax rates vary from state to state, while organized players have to face a multiple point control and system there is considerable sales tax evasion by small stores. In many locations, retailers have to face a multi-point octroi with the introduction of value Added Tax (VAT) in 2005, certain anomalies in the existing sales tax system causing disruption in the supply chain are likely to get corrected over a period of time. There is price war between different retail organizations. Each and every one is saying to provide goods at low cost and offers various promotional schemes. In such a case it is difficult to keep ones customers with oneself.

OPPORTUNITIES TO RETAIL DEVELOPMENT IN INDIA

Retail marketing gets various opportunities to grow up in the Indian market. Not only retailing but Manufacturers as well as suppliers, and buyers have various opportunities, some of which are mentioned below What is in storeOrganized retail provides brands much needed visibility and platform for customer interaction. It also helps in launching of new product or product variant and in market penetration. It has wider product range and more frequent, speedier deliveries. UrbanizationIncreased urbanization has shifted consumers to one place and thus a single retail can catch more customers. Nuclear familyAs the time passed away joint families came in a new form i.e. nuclear family. Again the income level of these nuclear families increases because both members started earning. This results into increased power of purchase and lack of time. Now they want everything under one roof. This brought the concept of organized retailing. Plastic revolutionIncreased use of credit cards is in favour of retail marketing. It creates requirement even when it is not necessary. Jo Dikata Hai Woh Bikta HaiOrganized retail stores put stress on proper infrastructure like well-maintained building, air conditioning, trained employees, electronic machine, parking facilities and proper display of goods category wise. Here customers feel comfort, joy and entertainment. Purchasing becomes joy for him. Self-selection saves time and gives more opportunities and satisfaction. Fix cost removes the threat of misleading. They avail various discounts and promotional schemes presented by the manufacturers. They also get product of different varieties and of proper quality. EmploymentRetail marketing is one of the largest employments generating industry. It provides employment to skilled, semi-skilled as well as to unskilled persons. Thus it helps in the socio- economic development of the society. Price warIncrease in the no of retail outlets increases competition among these retailers. To attract customers they give various promotional schemes as various discounts, buy one get one free, another product with any particular product, festival special, etc. Contract farmingThe retail marketers directly purchase from farmers and reducing middlemen, thus provide proper cost to farmers and also set proper price for consumers. They also make contract with farmers to get proper amount of crops and vegetables. Reduces supply chain managementThe big players of retail marketing and the manufacturing companies directly come in contact thus reducing many intermediary chains. Manufacturers also give many promotional schemes for their product that is beneficial for consumers.

UNORGANISED RETAILING

Traditional or Unorganized retail outlets are normally street markets, counter stores, kiosks and vendors, where the ownership and management rest with one person only. This sector accounts for two thirds of the market and requires low skilled labor. These are highly competitive outlets, with negligible rental costs (unregistered kiosks or traditional property), cheap workers (work is shared by members of family) and low taxes and overheads.

Indian retail is dominated by a large number of small retailers consisting of the local kirana shops, owner-manned general stores, chemists, footwear shops, apparel shops, paan and beedi(local betel leaf and tobacco) shops, hand-cart hawkers, pavement vendors, etc. which together make up the so-called unorganized retail" or traditional retail. The last few years have witnessed the entry of a number of organized retailers opening stores in various modern formats in metros and other important cities. Unorganized retailers normally do not pay taxes and most of them are not even registered for sales tax, VAT, or income tax.Unorganized retailing, on the other hand, refers to the traditional formats of low-cost retailing, for example, hand cart and pavement vendors, & mobile vendors, the localkiranashops, owner manned general stores,paan/beedishops, convenience stores, hardware shop at the corner of your street selling everything from bathroom fittings to paints and small construction tools; or the slightly more organized medical store and a host of other small retail businesses in apparel, electronics, food etc.

The reasons might be obtain by unorganised retailing:-

In smaller towns and urban areas, there are many families who are traditionally using thesekiranashops/ mom and pop stores offering a wide range of merchandise mix. Generally these kirana shops are the family business of these small retailers which they are running for more than one generation. These kirana shops are having their own efficient management system and with this they are efficiently fulfilling the needs of the customer. This is one of the good reasons why the customer doesn't want to change their old loyal kirana shop. A large number of working class in India is working as daily wage basis, at the end of the day when they get their wage, they come to this small retail shop to purchase wheat flour, rice etc. for their supper. For them this the only place to have those food items because purchase quantity is so small that no big retail store would entertain this. Similarly there is another consumer class who are the seasonal worker. During their unemployment period they use to purchase from this kirana store in credit and when they get their salary they clear their dues. Now this type of credit facility is not available in corporate retail store, so this kirana stores are the only place for them to fulfill their needs. Another reason might be the proximity of the store. It is the convenience store for the customer. In every corner the street an unorganized retail shop can be found that is hardly a walking distance from the customer's house. Many times customers prefer to shop from the nearby kirana shop rather than to drive a long distance organized retail stores. This unorganized stores are having number of options to cut their costs. They incur little to no real-estate costs because they generally operate from their residences.

Chapter: - 4Growth of Indian Retail industry

An increasing number of people in India are turning to the services sector for employment due to the relative low compensation offered by the traditional agriculture and manufacturing sectors. The organized retail market is growing at 3.5 percent annually while growth of unorganized retail sector is pegged at 6 percent. The Retail Business in India is currently at the point of inflection. Rapid change with investments to the tune of US $ 25 billion is being planned by several Indian and multinational companies in the next 5 years. It is a huge industry in terms of size and according to management consulting firm Techno Park Advisors Pvt. Ltd., it is valued at about US $ 350 billion. Organized retail is expected to garner about 16-18 percent of the total retail market (US $ 65-75 billion) in the next 5 years. According to the tenth report of GRDI of AT Kearney, India is having a very favourable retail environment and it is placed at 4th spot in the GRDI. The main reasons behind that is the 9% real GDP growth in 2010, forecasted yearly growth of 8.7% through 2016, high saving and investment rate and increased consumer spending. According to report, organized retail accounts for 7% of Indias roughly $435 billion retail market and is expected to reach 20% by 2020. Food accounts for 70% of Indian retail, but it remains under penetrated by organized retail. Organized retail has a 31% share in clothing and apparel and continues to see growth in this sector. A report by Boston Consulting Group has revealed that the countrys organized retail is estimated at US $ 28 billion with around 7% penetration. It is projected to become a US $ 260 billion business over the net decade with around 21% penetration. The analysts believe that the sector is likely to show significant growth of over 9% over the next ten years and also see rapid development in organized retail format with proportion likely to reach more respectable 25%by 2018. The BMI India Report for the first quarter of 2012 released forecasts that total retail sales with growth from US $ 422.09 billion in 2011 to US $ 825.46 billion by 2015. The report highlights strongly underlying economic growth, population expansion, increasing disposable income and rapid emergence of organized retail infrastructure as major factors behind the forecast growth. According to department of Industry Policy and Promotion Cumulative, FDI inflows in single brand retail trading stood at US$ 44.45 million during April 2000 to September 2011. Indian retail sector is wearing new clothes and with a three year compounded annual growth rate of46-64%, retail is the fastest growing sector in the Indian economy. The sector is the second largest employer after agriculture, employing more than 35 million people with wholesale trade generating an additional employment to 5.5 million crore.The enormous growth of retail industry has created a huge demand for real estate. Property developers are creating retail real estate at an aggressive pace. According to report titled India Organized Retail Market 2010, published by Knight Frank, during 2010- 12,around 55 million square feet of retail space will be ready in Mumbai, NCR, Bangalore, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad and Pune. Besides between 2010 and 2012 the organized retail real estate will be grown from existing 41 million square feet to 95 million square feet. The total no. of shopping mall is expected to expand at CAGR of 18.9% by 2015. Hypermarket, currently accounting for 14% of mall space is expected to witness high growth. Industry experts predict that the next phase of growth in the retail sector will emerge from the rural market. By 2012, the rural retail market is projected to have a total of more than 50% market share. India's retail market is expected to be worth about US$ 410 billion, with 5 per cent ofsales through organised retail, meaning that the opportunity in India remains immense. Retail should continue to grow rapidlyup to US$ 535 billion in 2013, with 10 per cent coming from organised retail, reflecting a fast-growing middle class, demanding higher quality shopping environments and stronger brands, according to the report Expanding Opportunities for Global

Chapter 4:- INTRODUCTION OF THE STUDY

Literature Review Background of the Study Objectives of the Study

4.1 :- Literature Reviews

According to Dholakia (1999),[endnoteRef:2] the rationale for shopping is making physical visits to a shopping site. It is considered as a household task as well as a form of recreation, relaxation and entertainment. Shopping is also considered to have the most positive attribute of being a leisure activity along with work (Dholakia, 1999). [2: Dholakia, R. R. (1999). Going shopping: key determinants of shopping behaviour and motivations. InternationalJournal of Retail and Distribution Management Bradford, 27, 154165.]

Sinha & Banerjee (2004)[endnoteRef:3] studied the drivers of store choice in various product categories, in the context of evolving retail industry in India and found that the distinct store features as perceived by respondents with true motivations of various consumers in patronizing various stores. Study suggests that consumers of Indian unorganized retail market do not require the service paraphernalia offered by many retailers. Store environment plays a vital role for store patronage and repeat purchases which includes convenience, value for money products, etc. [3: Sinha, P. K. and Banerjee, A. (2004). Store choice behaviour in an evolving market. International Journal of Retail & Distribution Management, 32(10), 482- 494.]

Backstrom & Johansson (2006)[endnoteRef:4] studied factors that influence consumers' in-store experiences. In-store experiences are constituted by traditional values such as the behavior of the personnel, a satisfactory selection of products, price and a layout that facilitates the store visit. [4: Backstrom, K & Johansson, U (2006). Creating and consuming experiences in retail store environments: Comparing retailer and consumer perspectives. Journal of Retailing and Consumer Services, 13, 417430.]

Terblanche & Boshoff (2006)[endnoteRef:5] suggested that retailers will have to accept that it is not only what they are marketing but also how it is done. The personal (face-to-face) interaction between retail staff and shoppers is of critical importance. [5: Terblanche, N. S. and Boshoff, C. (2006). The relationship between a satisfactory in-store shopping experience and retailer loyalty. South African Journal of Business Management, 37(2), 33-43.]

Kalhan (2007)[endnoteRef:6] studies the impact of organized retail on unorganized retail shops. Major findings reveal that 70 % of unorganized retailers reported falling sales. This fall in sales is due to superior shopping environment, convenience, availability of variety, ambience of shop, and availability of parking space and perception of quality of products sold in organized retail setup. [6: Kalhan, A. (2007). Impact of Malls on Small Shops and Hawkers. Economic Political Weekly, 6, 2063-2066.]

Goswami (2008)[endnoteRef:7] studied the shopping experiences in kirana stores and in modern stores. The major findings suggest Kirana stores to improve or to enrich shopping experiences. Kiranas also have to stay alert, try to upgrade and have to improve on service quality while concentrating on innovation and efficiency. [7: Goswami, P. (2008). Would Kiranas in Urban India Survive the Modern Trade Onslaught? Insight from Efficiency Perspective. Advances in ConsumerResearch, 8(3), 44-67.]

Das & Kumar (2009)[endnoteRef:8] studied the impact of sales promotion on consumers shopping experiences. A major finding reveals that keeping product satisfaction constant, sales can be improved by enhancing shopping experience which includes convenience of shopping, ease of locating products, easy check in and checkouts, customer friendly sales people and customer friendly policies. Secondly finding reveals that purchase decision for the same product under same promotion at different stores may vary because difference in shopping experiences provided by different stores. Further this study shows that promotion plays a limited role on consumers buying behavior where only small percentage of people are attracted to such sales promotion and wait for it. Study lastly emphasizes on the importance of shopping experience (ease of shopping, parking space, convenience etc.) for positively impacting consumer buying behavior. [8: Das, G. & Kumar, R. V. (2009). Impact of Sales Promotion on Buyers Behaviour: An Empirical Study of Indian Retail Customers. Global Marketing Journal, 3(1), 11-24.]

Goswami & Mishra (2009)[endnoteRef:9] seek to understand whether Indian consumers are likely to move from traditional Kirana stores to large organized retailers while shopping for groceries. The research finding reveals that customer patronage to grocery stores was found to be positively related to location, helpful, trustworthy salespeople, and home shopping, cleanliness, and offers, quality and negatively related to travel convenience. Kiranas do well on location but poorly on cleanliness, offers, quality, and helpful trustworthy salespeople. The converse is true for organized retailers. Study also finds that Kiranas have major disadvantages on all customer perception scores except location. These scores being less important determinants of patronage compared with location, in the short run kiranas may not be ousted out of customers' flavor. However, in the long run if they do not work on these other factors, they would face oblivion. Kiranas need to upgrade their facilities to be able to compete with the organized retailers to provide consumers better shopping experiences, whereas organized retailers which are expected to improve their location scores rapidly in the near future will grow rapidly.

Inside store (2009)[endnoteRef:10] studied the shopping experiences at traditional Indian retail stores. Major findings reveal that 70% of purchases are made at the point of purchase, so store environment can impact the 70% of purchases which is one of the important constituent of shopping experience in unorganized retail setup.

Mittal and Parashar (2010)[endnoteRef:11] explained that irrespective of area, people prefer grocery stores to be nearby, product assortment is important for grocery. Ghosh & Srivastava (2010) in his research found that service quality has become vital for service firms to pay attention due to increased competition. [11: Mittal, K. C., Arora, M. and Parashar, A. (2011). An Empirical Study on factors affecting consumer preferences of shopping at organized retail stores in Punjab. KAIM journal of management and research, 3(2), 38-40.]

Sivaraman (2010)[endnoteRef:12]analyzed customer attitude toward unorganized retailers on the attributes of store image, range of products, brand choices, price, store ambience, credit availability, shop proximity and complements. However there were no perceived difference on product freshness and customer care. This study clearly point out that the unorganized retailers are facing stiff competition from the organized retailers. This has reduced their sales, profit, and employment considerably. The operational cost, consumer credit also increased due to the presence of organized retailers. [12: Sivaraman. P. (2010). The future of unorganized retailing in Kanyakumari district. Asian Journal of Management Research, 2(1), 434 442.]

Kumar (2011)[endnoteRef:13]studied on the strategies of unorganized retailers with reference to consumer durables and found that a product strategy which means merchandise is the most important factor followed by price, distribution and promotion.

Kushwaha (2011)[endnoteRef:14] compared the perception of consumers in organized and unorganized retail market and found that factors like cleanliness, distance, price, quality, safety and space for shopping are the determinant factors for unorganized retail.

Purohit and Kavita(2013) according to their studies that the traditional retailers are not very much clear about the consequences of the modern retailing the traditional retailers are neutral or undecided, modern retailing will cut the profit margin of the traditional retailers; the modern retailing will lead healthy competition in the market, modern retailing will reduce the sales volume of the traditional retailers and traditional retailers should improve customer care services in the era of modern retailing. Shaoni Shabnam (2013): It is important to highlight that in organized retail, the status of employment is much better than that in unorganized retail. Hence it is definitely desirable that more and more labor gets absorbed in this sector of retail. In the current context, the labor employed in unorganized retail stands unfit for finding employment in organized retail. If appropriate training and skills could be imparted to them, it is possibly feasible to offer better forms of employment to them in the organized retail sector.

If appropriate training and skills could be imparted to them, it is possibly feasible to offer better forms of employment to them in the organized retail sector. Meeta Punjabi (2013): According to their study they suggest that the development efforts in this area are based on three grounds: First, farmers associated with the modern value chains earn higher returns than selling to the traditional markets. Second, the modern supply chains have specific quality requirements which are easier to meet by the large and medium farmers and the small farmers tend to get left out of these markets.Third, there are several successful examples of linking small farmers to these modern value chains with effort from government agencies, NGOs and development agencies. This knowledge presents strong grounds for a closer look at the emerging sector in India. Mathew Joseph (2013): Unorganized retailers in the vicinity of organized retailers experienced a decline in their volume of business and profit in the initial years after the entry of large organized retailers. The adverse impact on sales and profit weakens over time. There was no evidence of a decline in overall employment in the unorganized sector as a result of the entry of organized retailers. There is some decline in employment in the North and West regions which, however, also weakens over time. The rate of closure of unorganized retail shops in gross terms is found to be 4.2% per annum which is much lower than the international rate of closure of small businesses. The rate of closure on account of competition from organized retail is lower still at 1.7% per annum. There is competitive response from traditional retailers through improved business practices and technology up gradation. A majority of unorganized retailers is keen to stay in the business and compete, while also wanting the next generation to continue likewise. Small retailers have been extending more credit to attract and retain customers.

4.2 :- BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The Indian Retail Industry is the fifth largest in the world. Comprising of organized and unorganized sectors, Indian retail industry is one of the fastest growing industries in India, especially over the last few years. Though initially the retail industry in India was mostly unorganized, however with the change of taste and preferences of consumers, the Industry is getting more popular these days and getting organized as well. The Indian Retail Industry is expected to grow from US$330 billion in 2007 to US$640 billion by 2015. According to the 10th Annual Global Retail Development Index (GRDI) of A.T. Kearney,India is having a very strong growth fundamental base thats why its the perfect time to enter into Indian Retail Market. Indian Retail Market accounts for 22% of countrys GDP and it contributes to 8% of the total employment. The total retail spending is estimated to double in the next five years. Of this, organized retail currently growing at a CAGR of 22%- is estimated to be 21% of total expenditure. The unorganized retail sector is expected to grow at about 10% per annum with sales expected to rise from $309 billion in 2006-07 to $496 billion in 2011-12. This paper focused on changing face of Retail Industry, organized or unorganized retail industry, major players in retail industry and also highlights the challenges faced by the industry in near future. Indian Retail IndustryIndias Retailing Boom has acquired further momentum, dynamism and vibrancy with international players experimenting in the Indian market and the countrys existing giants taking bold innovative steps to woo the consumer. At the same time, the early entrants are redefining their strategies to stay competitive and suit the new market landscape. The next few years are liking to witness rapid growth in the organized retailing sector with several leading international players establishing their presence in India by adjusting their formats to suit local tastes and buying behaviour while regional players have stepped up their defences and are striving to gain edge over global players by using their knowledge of local markets. Clearly the next wave of the retail boom is upon us. Retailing is one of the pillars of the economy in India. Over the past few years, the retail sale in India is hovering around 33-35% of GDP as compare to 20% in the US. The Indian retail industry is the fifth largest in the world. Comprising of organized and unorganized sectors, Indian retail industry is one of the fastest growing industries in India, especially over the last few years. Though initially, the retail industry in India was mostly unorganized, however with the tastes and preferences of the consumers, the industry is getting more popular these days and getting organized as well. Now with growing market demand, the industry is expected to grow at pace of 25-30% annually. The Indian retail industry is currently growing at a great pace and is expected to go up to US $ 833 billion by the year 2013. In the last four years consumer spending in India has climbed up to 75%. In India though, organized retail accounts for app. 5-6% of total retail revenues, however, with a young population, increasingdisposable income, changing life styles and a robust economy India is set to emerge as one of the fastest growing organized retail markets in the world.Retailing is one of the biggest sectors and it is witnessing revolution in India. The new entrant in retailing in India signifies the beginning of retail revolution. India's retail market is expected to grow tremendously in next few years. According to AT Kearney, The Windows of Opportunity shows thatRetailing in India was at opening stage in 1995 and now it is in peaking stage in 2006. The origins of retailing in India can be traced back to the emergence of Kirana stores and mom-and-pop stores. These stores used to cater to the local people. Eventually the government supported the rural retail and many indigenous franchise stores came up with the help of Khadi & Village Industries Commission. The economy began to open up in the 1980s resulting in the change of retailing. The first few companies tocome up with retail chains were in textile sector, for example, Bombay Dyeing, S Kumar's, Raymonds, etc. Later Titan launched retail showrooms in the organized retail sector. With the passage of time new entrants moved on from manufacturing to pure retailing.Retail outlets such as Food world in FMCG, Planet M and Music world in Music, Crossword in books entered the market before 1995. Shopping malls emerged in the urban areas giving a world-class experience to the customers. Eventually hypermarkets and supermarkets emerged. The evolution of the sector includes the continuous improvement in the supply chain management, distribution channels, technology, back-end operations, etc. this would finally lead to more of consolidation, mergers and acquisitions and huge investments. India's retail market is expected to grow tremendously in next few years. India shows US$330 billion retail market that is expected to grow 10% a year, with modern retailing just beginning. In India, the most of the retail sector is unorganized. The main challenge facing the organized sector is the competition from unorganized sector. Unorganized retailing has been there in India for centuries. The main advantage in unorganized retailing is consumer familiarity that runs from generation to generation. It is a low cost structure; they are mostly operated by owners, have very low real estate and labor costs and have low taxes to pay. Organized retail business in India is very small but has tremendous scope.

Customer Attribute affecting choice of format

Challenges Faced by the Retail Industry:

International Standards: Even though India has well over 5 million retail outlets of different sizes and styles, it still has a long way to go before it can truly have a retail industry at par withInternational standards. This is where Indian companies and International brands have a huge role to play. Inefficient supply chain management: Indian retailing is still dominated by the unorganized sector and there is still a lack of efficient supply chain management. India must concentrate on improving the supply chain management, which in turn would bring down inventory cost, which can then be passed on to the consumer in the form of low pricing. Lack of Retail space:Most of the retail outlets in India have outlets that are less than 500 square feet in area. This is very small by International Standards. Cultural Diversity: India's huge size and socio economic and cultural diversity means there is no established model or consumption pattern throughout the country. Manufacturers and retailers will have to devise strategies for different sectors and segments which by itself would be challenging. Real estate issues: The enormous growth of the retail industry has created a huge demand for real estate. Property developers are creating retail real estate at an aggressive pace. With over 1,000 hypermarkets and 3,000 supermarkets projected to come up by 2011, India will need additional retail space of 700,000,000 sq.ft. (65,000,000 m2) as compared to today. Human resource problems: Trained manpower shortage is a challenge facing the organized retail sector in India. The Indian retailers have difficulty in finding trained person and also have to pay more in order to retain them. This again brings down the Indian retailers profit levels.

Frauds in Retail: It is one of the primary challenges the companies would have to face. Frauds, including vendor frauds, thefts, shoplifting and inaccuracy in supervision and administration are the challenges that are difficult to handle. This is so even after the use of security techniques, such as CCTVs and POS systems. As the size of the sector would increase, this would increase the number of thefts, frauds and discrepancies in the system. Challenges with Infrastructure and Logistics: The lack of proper infrastructure and distribution channels in the country results in inefficient processes. This is a major hindrance for retailers as a non-efficient distribution channel is very difficult to handle and can result in huge losses. Infrastructure does not have a strong base in India. Urbanization and globalization are compelling companies to develop infrastructure facilities. Transportation, including railway systems, has to be more efficient. Highways have to meet global standards. Airport capacities and power supply have to be enhanced. Warehouse facilities and timely distribution are other areas of challenge. To fully utilize India's potential in retail sector, these major obstacles have to be removed.

SWOT Analysis of Retail Sector:1. Strengths: Major contribution to GDP High Growth Rate: High Potential: High Employment Generator: 2. Weaknesses (limitation): Lack of Competitors Highly Unorganized Low Productivity Shortage of Talented Professionals No Industry status, 3. Opportunities (benefits): Healthy Competition will be boosted and there will be a check on the prices (inflation). Create transparency in the system. Intermediaries and mandi system will be evicted, hence directly benefiting the farmers and producers. Quality Control and Control over Leakage and Wastage. Heavy flow of capital will help in building up the infrastructure for the growing population. There will be sustainable development and many other economic issues will be focused upon.4. Threats: Current Independent Stores will be compelled to close Big players can knock-out competition. India does not need foreign retailers. Remember East India Company it entered India as trader and then took over politically. The government hasnt able to build consensus.

In view of the above analysis, if we try to balance opportunities and prospects attached to the given economic reforms, it will definitely cause good to Indian economy and consequently to public at large, if once implemented. Thus the period for which we delay these reforms will be loss for government only, since majority of the public is in favour of reforms. All the above mentioned drawbacks are mostly politically created. With the implementation of this policy all stakeholders will benefit whether it is consumer through quality products at low price, farmers through more transparency in trading or Indian corporates with 49% profit share remaining with Indian companies only.
