History of Reliance Fresh

The Reliance Retail had to face various difficulties before the launch of Reliance fresh, because of the various circumstances prevailing in Orissa, West Bengal and UP, along with the news focusing on the dearth of vegetables and fruits stocks. The retail business of Reliance then minimized its exposure in vegetable and fruit business, as a result established Reliance fresh positioning a pure super market play focusing on various categories like IT, consumer durables, home, FMCG and food.

The retail company of Reliance may not supply the vegetables and fruits in a few states, the Reliance Fresh decided to not to race with local wholesalers partly because of the political reasons as well as its incapability to maintain a healthy supply chain.

Growth of Reliance Fresh

This was the idea, which was anticipated by the company was to take the supply direct from the farmers and then sell straightaway to the consumers removing the middle-men off the beaten track. Reliance introduced several formats in the marketplace to cater to needs of common people, which includes Reliance Fresh, Reliance Super, Reliance Footprint, Reliance Timeout, Reliance Jewels, Reliance wellness, Reliance Mart and Reliance Digital, to name a few.

In addition to this, the Reliance Retail also entered into a treaty with Apple, which is a leading Information Technology company, to set up a series of Apple Specialty Outlets branded as IStore, with its first ever store in Bangalore.

With an idea to produce inclusive prosperity and growth for farmers, consumers, small shopkeepers and vendor partners, Reliance Retail was set up in order to lead the foray of Reliance Group into an organized retail.

Secondary data :- some data about the reliance fresh is collected through the various e journals, magazines & also from various websites.

Recommendations (as per observations at selected location)

Reliance fresh super value must concentrate more on the fruit & vegetable section.

With reference to the Indian shopping mentality the store has to ensure that the quality of fruits & vegetables is to be maintained as per the unorganized retail sector.

Reliance fresh must concentrate more on Customers Service Associates (CSA) because of lack of communication with customers.

If we talk about Indore then there are only 9 Reliance fresh. So the company must focus on opening more outlets because they are in the business of selling daily fruits & vegetables.
