Vishal Mega Mart is a retail sector, which is providing good quality of products in very
reasonable price than its competitors. Retailing and wholeselling consist of many
organizations designed to bring goods and services from the point of production to the
point of use.
Retailing includes all the activities involved in selling goods or services directly to final
consumers for their personal, non-business use. Retailers can be classified in terms of
store retailers, non-store retailing, and retail organizations.
Store retailers include many types, such as specialty stores, department stores,
supermarkets, convenience stores, superstores, combination stores, hypermarkets,
discount stores, warehouse stores, and catalog showrooms. These store forms have had
different longevities and are at different stages of the retail life cycle. Depending on the
wheel-of-retailing, some will go out of existence because they cannot compete on a
quality, service, or price basis.
Non-store retailing is growing more rapidly than store retailing. It includes direct selling
(door-to-door, party selling), direct marketing, automatic vending, and buying services.
Much of retailing is in the hands of large retail organizations such as corporate chains,
voluntary chain and retailer cooperatives, consumer cooperatives, franchise
organizations, and merchandising conglomerates. More retail chains are now sponsoring
diversified retailing lines and forms instead of sticking to one form such as the
department store.
Retailers, like manufacturers, must prepare marketing plans that include decisions on
target markets, product assortment and services, store atmosphere, pricing, promotion,
And place. Retailers are showing strong signs of improving their professional
management and their productivity, in the face of such trends as shortening retail life
cycles, new retail forms, increasing intertype competition, and polarity of retailing, new
retail technologies, and many others.
Wholesaling includes all the activities involved in selling goods or services to those who
are buying for the purpose of resale or for business use. Wholesalers help manufacturers
deliver their products efficiently to the many retailers and industrial users across the
nation. Wholesalers perform many functions, including selling and promoting, buying
and assortment-building, bulk-breaking, warehousing, transporting, financing, risk
AIMS COLLEGE, Dharwad.10

bearing, supplying market information, and providing management services and
counseling. Wholesalers fall into four groups. Merchant wholesalers take possession of
the goods and include full-service wholesalers (wholesale merchants, industrial
distributors) and limited-service wholesalers (cash-and- carry wholesalers, truck
wholesalers, drop shippers, rack jobbers, producers' cooperatives, and mail-order
wholesalers). Agents and brokers do not take possession of the goods but are paid a
commission for facilitating buying and selling. Manufacturers' and retailers' branches
and offices are wholesaling operations conducted by non-wholesalers to bypass the
wholesalers. Miscellaneous wholesalers include agricultural assemblers, petroleum bulk
plants and terminals, and auction companies.
Wholesalers, too, must make decisions on their target market, product assortment and
services, pricing, promotion, and place. Wholesalers who fail to carry adequate
assortments and inventory and provide satisfactory service are likely to be bypassed by
manufacturers. Progressive wholesalers, on the other hand, are adapting marketing
concepts and streamlining their costs of doing business.

industry in India.
Retail sector is expected to create 2 million jobs up to 2010.
According to Indian Retail Report top 10 players in modern retail trade are going

Sector Details
In India, the most of the retail sector is unorganized. In India, the retail business
contributes around 10 percent of GDP. Of this, the organized retail sector accounts only
for about 5 percent share, and the expected annual growth rate is 5% per annum and
remaining share is contributed by the unorganized sector. The main challenge facing the
organized sector is the competition from unorganized sector. Unorganized retailing has
AIMS COLLEGE, Dharwad.13
-
7/28/2019 19800517-big-bazar
14/87
been there in India for centuries, theses are named as mom-pop stores. 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, has very low
real estate and labor costs and has low taxes to pay. And it also gives 8% Employment
to the country annually.
In late 1990's the retail sector has witnessed a level of transformation. Retailing is being
perceived as a beginner and as an attractive commercial business for organized business
i.e. the pure retailer is starting to emerge now. Organized retail business in India is very
small but has tremendous scope. The total in 2005 stood at $225 billion, accounting for
about 10% of GDP. In this total market, the organized retail accounts for only $8 billion
of total revenue. According to A T Kearney, the organized retailing is expected to be
more than $23 billion revenue by 2010.
In organized retailing will grow faster than unorganized sector and the growth speed will
be responsible for its high market share, which is expected to be $ 17 billion by 2010-11.
The organized sector is expected to grow faster than GDP growth in next few years
driven by favorable demographic patterns, changing lifestyles, and strong income
growth. This organized retail sector mix includes supermarkets, hypermarkets
discounted stores and specialty stores, departmental stores. For example, Spencer
network has 69 stores, which includes seven Spencer hypermarkets, three Spencer super
markets and 49 Spencer Dailys. Now the company is planning to open 20 stores in 10
cities in six months. The top 10 retailers account only for 2% of total market, today
modern retailing is expected to enter a boom phase, which has major players and these
players might capture 10% of total market, within next five years. The retail sales in
India for future are shown below (data from 2005-2008 is based on estimates)
The trend in the Industry
1. Low share of organized retailing2. Falling real estate prices3. Increase in disposable income and customer aspiration

Increase in expenditure for luxury items (CHART)
Another credible factor in the prospects of the retail sector in India is the increase in the
young working population. In India, hefty pay packets, nuclear families in urban areas,
along with increasing working-women population and emerging opportunities in the
services sector. These key factors have been the growth drivers of the organized retail
sector in India which now boast of retailing almost all the preferences of life - Apparel &
Accessories, Appliances, Electronics, Cosmetics and Toiletries, Home & OfficeProducts, Travel and Leisure and many more. With this the retail sector in India is
witnessing rejuvenation as traditional markets make way for new formats such as
departmental stores, hypermarkets, supermarkets and specialty stores.

Mark and Spencers.
The untapped scope of retailing has attracted superstores like Wal-Mart into India,
leaving behind the kiranas that served us for years. Such companies are basically IT
based. The other important participants in the Indian Retail sector are Bata, Big Bazaar,
Pantaloons, Archies, Cafe Coffee Day, landmark, Khadims, Crossword, to name a few.
Evolution of Indian Retail Industry
Indian Retail Industry is standing at its point of inflexion, waiting for the boom to take
place. The inception of the retail industry dates back to times where retail stores were
found in the village fairs, Melas or in the weekly markets. These stores were highly
unorganized. The maturity of the retail sector took place with the establishment of retailstores in the locality for convenience. With the government intervention the retail
industry in India took a new shape. Outlets for Public Distribution System, Cooperative
stores and Khadi stores were set up. These retail Stores demanded low investments for
its establishment. International Brand Outlets, Hyper or Super markets, shopping malls
and departmental stores
Retailing in India: a forecast
Future of organized retail in India looks bright. According to recent researches it is
projected to grow at a rate of about 37% in 2007 and at a rate of 42% in 2008. It will
capture a share of 10% of the total retailing by the end of 2010.
INDIA: A Hot Spot
India retail industry is the largest industry in India, with an employment of around 8%
and contributing to over 10% of the country's GDP. Retail industry in India is expected
to rise 25% yearly being driven by strong income growth, changing lifestyles, and
AIMS COLLEGE, Dharwad.16
-

17/87
favorable demographic patterns.
It is expected that by 2016 modern retail industry in India will be worth US$ 175- 200
billion. India retail industry is one of the fastest growing industries with revenue
expected in 2007 to amount US$ 320 billion and is increasing at a rate of 5% yearly. A
further increase of 7-8% is expected in the industry of retail in India by growth in
consumerism in urban areas, rising incomes, and a steep rise in rural consumption. It has
further been predicted that the retailing industry in India will amount to US$ 21.5 billion
by 2010 from the current size of US$ 7.5 billion.
Shopping in India has witnessed a revolution with the change in the consumer buying
behavior and the whole format of shopping also altering. Industry of retail in India which
have become modern can be seen from the fact that there are multi- stored malls, huge
shopping centers, and sprawling complexes which offer food, shopping, and
entertainment all under the same roof.
India retail industry is expanding itself most aggressively; as a result a great demand for
real estate is being created. Indian retailers preferred means of expansion is to expand
to other regions and to increase the number of their outlets in a city. It is expected that by
2010, India may have 600 new shopping centers.
In the Indian retailing industry, food is the most dominating sector and is growing at a
rate of 9% annually. The branded food industry is trying to enter the India retail industry
and convert Indian consumers to branded food. Since at present 60% of the Indian
grocery basket consists of non- branded items.
As the contemporary retail sector in India is reflected in sprawling shopping centers,
multiplex- malls and huge complexes offer shopping, entertainment and food all under
one roof, the concept of shopping has altered in terms of format and consumer buying
behavior, ushering in a revolution in shopping in India. This has also contributed to

large-scale investments in the real estate sector with major national and global players
investing in developing the infrastructure and construction of the retailing business.
Growth Drivers
Growth drivers in India for retail sector

markets and accelerating the convergence of consumer tastes.
Liberalization of the Indian economy

India's retail industry is the second largest sector, after agriculture, which provides
employment. According to Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India
(ASSOCHAM), the retail sector will create 50,000 jobs in next few years.
Retail companies are starting retail management courses in partnership with management
institutes, roping in talent from other sectors and developing comprehensive career
growth and loyalty plans for existing employees.
Top players like Pantaloon Retail India Limited, Trent, Shopper's Stop, RPG Group and
ebony are virtually on their toes.
Consider the plans of largest player, The Pantaloon Retail India Ltd, the company has
developed a comprehensive strategy, where in it expects that in 2years, it will not recruit
any new managers from outside.
"The estimated need is 1 lakh of employees till 2011", said Mr. Sanjoy Jog, HR Head at
Pantaloon Retail India Ltd. Pantaloon has the concept of partnership with educational
Institute to run retail courses across the entire chain. Trent has also started in-house
learning programmers and now goes to under graduate colleges to recruit students.
Since, the job market is hugely receptive to this with more and more business schools
focusing on the sector and large retailers setting up retail academics.
Challenges of Retailing in India
In India the Retailing industry has a long way to go, and to become a truly flourishing
industry, retailing needs to cross the following hurdles:
* The first challenge facing the organized retail sector is the competition from
unorganized sector.
* In retail sector, Automatic approval is not allowed for foreign investment.
* Taxation, which favors small retail businesses.
* Developed supply chain and integrated IT management is absent in retail sector.
* Lack of trained work force.
AIMS COLLEGE, Dharwad.19
-
7/28/2019 19800517-big-bazar
20/87
Low skill level for retailing management.
Intrinsic complexity of retailing- rapid price changes, threat of product
obsolescence and low margins.
* Organized retail sector has to pay huge taxes, which is negligible for small retailbusiness.
Many agencies have estimated differently about the size of organized retail market in
2010. The one thing that is common amongst these estimates is that Indian organized
retail market will be very big in 2010. The status of the retail industry will depend
mostly on external factors like Government regulations and policies and real estate
prices, besides the activities of retailers and demands of the customers also show
impact on retail industry.
Competition in retail
India RetailBiz attempts to capture excitement of Retail Business in India by aggregating
the best in news, views, research, analysis, trends, technology, and competition dents
retail sector growth.
The performance of the retail sector in the last quarter of financial year 2008-09 has been
a gloomy one. Not only has the quarter-on-quarter growth declined by 700 basis point,
on year-on-year (YoY) basis, sales growth fell drastically from 67.8% to 49.1%.
Including the recently listed Koutons and Vishal Retail, all big retailers continue to be on
an aggressive expansion mode. This kind of competition is having a negative impact on
margins of retailers, as the target audience for all of them, more or less, remains the
same.
The slowdown has triggered a volume game in the industry. Strategies like promotional
campaigns, freebies, promoting private labels and online discounts are just some of the
avenues that retailers are looking at to lure customers. According to analysts, this is a
knee-jerk reaction by the industry to fight the inflation-induced dent in the purchasing
power of customers. As they say, retail is a number game, so, big retailers are trying to
push volumes. For some, it comes at the cost of profit. Meanwhile, in contrast to YoY
AIMS COLLEGE, Dharwad.20
-
7/28/2019 19800517-big-bazar
21/87
sales growth of 49% for the sector, the interest cost has registered a whopping 96%
growth. Though growing at a lesser 39%, depreciation cost has also been impacting
margins.
The cost factor too is adding to the woes. For instance, during the quarter, Shoppers Stop
opened its new stores in various formats. Provogue and Pantaloon followed soon. The
companies are increasing their geographical presence in the wake of increasing
competition. Launch of new formats continues to catch the attention of these retailers. In
fact, a couple of these new formats are already generating profit at the operating level,
thus showing a positive sign towards growth.
Like for Shoppers Stop, the average transaction size increased by about 7% for the
current quarter over the same quarter in the previous year. Players like Provogue and
Pantaloons too have witnessed a similar upward movement. Also, though growth in total
expenses as a whole has almost been equivalent to the growth in sales at about 47%,
some individual cost items like staff costs, selling and administration costs are under
control. On a YoY basis, staff cost has grown at 26% against 44% in the corresponding
quarter of the previous year.
Nonetheless, raw material cost continues to remain high - it grew by 66% in the last
quarter and now is equivalent to 74% of the industry's aggregate net sales. This is the
reason why operating margins have reduced to 4.8% of the revenue sale compared with
5.7% during the corresponding quarter of the previous year.
Among individual retailers, Pantaloon Retail continues to outgrow the industry - it
recorded 57% a YoY growth in net sales during March 2008 quarter. Although it is
lower compared with the 63% growth recorded during the December quarter,
momentum continues to favour the company. New stores drove the growth in value-for-
money format - strategies such as KB's Fair Price and online shopping are picking up.
Their home store division has also been doing well. Next on growth charts is Provogue,
which grew 40% in the last quarter, similar to the previous quarter.
AIMS COLLEGE, Dharwad.21

7/28/2019 19800517-big-bazar
22/87
In short, setting up of new stores has resulted in higher working capital funding, which
has raised the industry's interest outgo. For Pantaloon, interest cost has almost doubled
during the current quarter - as a proportion of sales, it has increased from 2.7% to 3.2%
on a YoY basis. Provogue seems to be an exception in this as it recorded the highest
increase of 100 basis points in interest cost for March 2008. Overall, the profitability
margin has seen a sharp decline.
Only Shoppers Stop has registered some profit compared with its performance in the
corresponding quarter of the previous year. The company's net profit margin now stands
at 0.7% of net sales as compared to -1% in March 2007 quarter. It can be concluded that
margins of retail companies seem to have been hit by costs related to their ambitious
expansion programmer. Expansion plans for some of them are running behind schedule.
It has led to higher interest cost, yet retail companies are trying hard to cut costs by
keeping inventory and carrying costs under control.

Big retailers at loggerheads with MNCs over brands
A serious conflict is brewing between Indian retailers and multinationals over imports of
global brands. To stay afloat in the dog-eat-dog world of retail, local retailers have
reached arrangements with overseas players to bring in some international brands,
rattling many MNCs who manufacture or market these products locally. In some cases,
these brands have not yet been introduced in India.
Several major MNCs with a long presence in India are invoking the Intellectual Property
Rights (imported goods) Enforcement Rules 2007 to stop retailers from importing
foreign brands. Hindustan Unilever, LOreal, Lancome Perfumes, Oakley Inc, Nivea and
Mico have already registered several brands with the Customs department. Sources said
other MNCs are expected to follow suit.
AIMS COLLEGE, Dharwad.22

23/87
Market circles perceive this as a move to prevent Indian retailers from getting first
access to these brands. Some of the retailers are debating plans to legally contest the
move, since they possess a free sale certificate from the source of import. Retailers like
Big Bazaar & Food Bazaar, Reliance Retail, Spencers and Sankalp Retail
(MyDollarStore), among others, have begun importing sizeable consignments of leading
consumer brands and their variants for better fill rates, product variety and higher
margins.
However, the multinationals are not amused, and claim that it leads to loss of business
opportunity, unfair competition and product cannibalization. The fundamental issue
here, according to analysts, is that the Indian arms of the leading FMCG companies
would like to control the way their brands are marketed and sold. They would also like
to determine when new products and variants of existing products should be introduced
in India.
A key reason for retailers to step up imports is bottom lines. Profit margins on imported
products are around 20% more than local brands, where producers and retailers are at
loggerheads over sharing margins.
We are concerned over issues like protecting the properties of our brands, including
quality and consumer perception. Such unplanned imports create brand confusion in the
minds of consumers, since the properties of an imported brand are completely different
from the domestic ones, which are localized to suit the specific regions requirements.
An unpleasant experience may work against our brand, said a high-ranking official in a
leading multinational, which makes personal care products.
Retailers claim they are creating demand in advance for the multinationals, which
would otherwise have to invest heavily in marketing and ad spends to promote the
brands. Analysts say the developments are the natural effects of a globalised market that
India is moving towards, which upsets the conventional distribution and trade practices.

State of Competition in the Wholesale and Retail Sector
The study assesses the state of competition in the Philippine wholesale and retail sector,
focusing on the distribution of specialized goods and pharmaceutical products. It uses
the traditional tools of analysis like concentration ratios and price-cost margins in
determining the competitive state of the sector. The study also analyzes the other
dimensions in retail competition like price, geographical location, and retail product and
retail service. Industry data from the National Statistics Office were used in the analysis,
aided by a small-scale survey conducted in the Metro Manila area.
The department store and grocery sub sector appears to operate in a competitive
environment despite the presence of two big dominating firms in the market. No price or
quantity leader-follower behavior was observed, as validated by the tools used in the
analysis. On the other hand, one firm, whose strategic advantages include economies of
scope and space, retail image and consumer loyalty, dominates the distribution of
pharmaceutical products. Potential market entrants face these forms of challenges--
factors that are not regarded as anti-competitive and are welfare enhancing to the general
public.
The need for competition policy is recommended to guard against possible merger of the
giant firms in the department store and grocery sub sector. Any possible collusion
between the big firms could result to a monopolistic outcome.
The study observes that the apparent high price of pharmaceutical products is mainlyattributed to the manufacturing process, and not at the distribution of these goods.
Hence, it is recommended that a study analyzing the state of competitiveness of
manufacturing pharmaceutical products be conducted. Thing else that is timely,
authentic Electronics retail sector could get new competition

Types of Retailing
There are several types we can see in Retailing. They are like:
Specialty Store:
Narrow product line with deep assortment, viz apparel stores, book stores etc. A clothingstore would be a single line store, men's clothing store would be limited line store&men's custom-shirt store would be a super specialty store.
Example: The limited, The Body Shop.
Departmental Store:
Several products lines-typically clothing, household goods, home furnishings- with each
line operated as a separate department managed by specialist buyers or merchandisers.
Example: Sears, Bloomingdale's.
Supermarkets:
Relatively large, low-cost, low-margin, high volume, self-service operation designed to
serve total needs for food, laundry & household maintenance products.
Example: Kroger, Safeway.
Convenience Stores:
Relatively small store located near residential area, open long hours, seven days a week
and carrying a limited line of high-turnover convenience products at slightly higher
prices.
Example: 7-Eleven, Circle K.
Discount Store:
AIMS COLLEGE, Dharwad.25

7/28/2019 19800517-big-bazar
26/87
Standard merchandise sold at lower prices with lower margins and higher volumes. True
discount stores regularly sell merchandise at lower prices and offer mostly national
brands.
Example: Wal-Mart, Kmart.
Off-price retailer:
Merchandise bought at less than regular wholesale prices & sold at less than retail;
often-leftover goods, overruns and irregulars obtained at reduced prices from
manufacturers or other retailers.
Factory outlets are owned and operated by manufacturers and normally carry the
manufacturer's surplus, discontinued or irregular goods.
Example: Mikasa (dinnerware), Dexter (shoes)
Independent off-price retailers are owned & run by entrepreneurs or by divisions of
larger retail corporations.
Example: T.J.Maxx, Filene's Basement.
Superstore:
Averages 35,000 square feet of selling space traditionally aimed at meeting consumers'
total needs for routinely purchased food and non-food items. Usually offer services such
as laundry, dry cleaning, shoe repair, check cashing & bill paying.
A new group called "category killers" carries a deep assortment in a particular category
& a knowledgeable staff.
Example: Borders books & Music, IKEA.
Combination stores are a diversification of the supermarket store into the growing drug-
and-prescription field. Combination food & drug stores average 55,000 square feet of

selling space.
Example: Jewel & Osco stores.
Hypermarkets range between 80,000 and 220,000 square feet and combine supermarket,
discount & warehouse retailing principles. Product assortment goes beyond routinely
purchased goods & includes furniture, large & small appliances, clothing items and
many other items. Bulk display & minimum handling by store personnel with discounts
offered to customers who are willing to carry heavy appliances and furniture out of the
store. Hypermarkets originated in France.
Example: Carrefour and Casino (France), Pyrca, Continente and Alcampo (Spain).
Emerging trends in Indian organized retail sector
BPO industry in India
BPO (Business Process outsourcing) is one of the fastest growing segments of the
Information Technology Enabled Services (ITES) industry in India. Business Process
Outsourcing refers to the delegation of one or more IT-intensive business process to an
external provider that in turn owns administers and manages the selected process based
on defined and measurable performance criteria. The Indian BPO industry is constantly
growing and a lot of fortune 500 companies are outsourcing services to India. There are
several reasons for Indias emergence as one of leading outsourcing destinations. India is
very rich in educated and talented human resource. India is one of the pioneers in
software development. India has an excellent technical facilities and infrastructure for
setting up call centers. Time zone difference between India and America has also worked
to the advantage of Indian BPO industry. India has an 8-12 hour time zone difference
with respect to the US and other developed markets. Most of the Indian cell centers
servicing American customers have timings between 5:30 pm to 9:30 am this time zonedifference allows Indian companies BPOs to service American clients by working in the
nights. last but not the least India has huge pool of English speaking workforce that
provides excellent voice based services at extremely competitive costs resulting in huge
savings for companies. Some of the leading BPO companies in India are

Inflation in India
Inflation in India is at an acceptable level and remains much lower than in many other
developing countries. But off late prices of essential commodities such as food grain,
edible oil, vegetables etc have risen sharply and in the process driving up the inflation
rate.
Inflation is defined as a sustained increase in the general level of prices for goods and
services. It is measured as an annual percentage increase. As inflation rises the value of
currency goes down. The current rise in inflation has its roots in supply-side factors.
There was shortfall in domestic production vis--vis domestic demand and hardening ofinternational pieces, prices of primary commodities, mainly food items. Wheat, pulses,
edible oils, fruits and vegetables, and condiments and spices have been the major
contributors to the higher inflation rate of primary articles. The inflation was also
accompanied by buoyant growth of money and credit. While GDP growth zoomed to 9.0
per cent per annum, the board money (M3) grew by more than 20 per cent.
Inflation is calculated on the bases of Wholesale Price Index (WPI) while in other
countries it is calculated on Consumer Price Index (CPI).
The emerging trends in the Indian organized retail sector would help the economic
growth in India.

There is a fantastic rise in the Indian organized retail sector in a very short period of time
between 2001 and 2006. Eventually, out of the shadows of the unorganized retail sector,
India has a chance of tremendous economic growth, both in India and abroad.
The emerging trends in the Indian organized retail sector are also adding up to the
development of the Indian organized retail sector. The relaxation by the government on
regulatory controls on foreign direct investments has added to the process of the growth
of the Indian organized retail sector.
The infrastructure of the retail sector will evolve radically in the recent future. The
emergences of shopping malls are increasing at a steady pace in the metros and there are
further plans of expansion which would lead to 150 new ones coming up in India by
2008. As the count of super markets is going up much faster than rate of growth in retail
sector, it is taking the lions share in food trade.
The growth of the Indian organized retail sector is anticipated to be heavier than the
growth of the gross domestic product. Alterations in people's lifestyle, growth in income
levels, and encouraging conventions of demography are proving favorable for the new
emerging trends in the Indian organized retail sector.
The success of this retail sector would also lie in the degree of penetration into the lower
income strata to tap the possible customers in the lowest levels of society. The demands
of the buyers would also be enhanced by more access to credit facilities.
With the arrival of the Transnational Companies (TNC), the Indian retail sector will
undergo a transformation. At present the Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) is not
encouraged in the Indian organized retail sector but once the TNC'S get in they
inevitably try to oust their Indian counterparts. This would be challenging to the retail
sector in India.
The trends to follow in the future:
AIMS COLLEGE, Dharwad.29

30/87
The Indian Organized retail sector will grow up to 10% of total retailing by 2010.
No one single format can be assumed, as there is a huge difference in cultures
regionally. The most encouraging format now would be the hyper marts.
The hyper mart format would be further encouraged with the entry of the TNCs
