INTRODUCTION OF INDIAN RETAIL INDUSTRY


Retail is Indias largest industry, accounting for over 10 per cent of the countrys GDP and around 11 per
cent of the employment. Retail industry 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. But because of the heavy
initial investments required, break even is difficult to achieve and many of these players have not tasted
success so far. However, the future is promising; the market is growing, government policies are
becoming more favorable and emerging technologies are facilitating operations. Retailing in India is
gradually inching its way toward 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 in India.
Modern retail has entered India as seen in Sprawling shopping centers, multi-storied malls and huge
complexes offer shopping, entertainment and food all under one roof.

EVOLUTION OF THE INDIAN RETAIL SECTOR


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 to come 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.

2018, with a compound annual growth rate (cagr) of 10% - which is quite lucrative. Al
these estimations are due to the fact that the consumer spending has seen a rise of
around 75%, in the past four years. The organized indian retail market is slated to grow
at a cagr of 40%, touching us$ 107 billion by 2013. 5% of the indian retail market is
occupied by the organized retail sector, which is all slated to witness the majority
number of large format malls and branded retail stores. The increase in the number of
such malls would be first seen in south india, followed by north, west and the east over
the coming two years. Another latest research shows that more than 100 malls spanning
a space of over 30 million sq feet is estimated to open in india between 2009 and 2010
end. Investment in the organized retail market would be around us$ 503.2 million in
2009. This could go further up to us$ 1.26 billion in the next four to five years, at a
cagr of 40%.

over the years. In india, apparel is the second largest retail category and will have a 1215% growth rate every year. Apparel, food and grocery is expected to lead the organized

GROWTH OF RETAIL IN INDIA:Organized Share of retail sector is expected to increase to 8-9 percent in 2010-11
from 6 percent in 2008.
The Indian retailing market, it is a very fast growing sector. One reason that can be attributed to this rapid
entry of the foreign retail giants is that the Western Countries have reached a point of saturation in their
retail sector. Another reason as already mentioned earlier is the change in the tastes and preferences or the
psychographic of the consumers that is bent in their favour.
Although the retail sector in India contributes to about 10% in the GDP, it is the most underdeveloped
sector in terms of investments that are made in this sector. The organized sector is growing at 25-30 %
per annum. Developed market in US, Taiwan, Malaysia is still a dream to the Indian retail market. They
have registered a growth of 50% per annum.

UNORGANIZED RETAIL IN INDIA


Unorganized retailing is characterized by a distorted real-estate market, poor infrastructure and inefficient
upstream processes, lack of modern technology, inadequate funding and absence of skilled manpower.
Therefore, there is a need to promote organized retailing.
Facing stiff competition from corporate retail outlets, hawkers and small shopkeepers are not only
witnessing decline in business but also increased harassment and eviction drives. The 400 hawkers and
100 shopkeepers surveyed across five cities by India FDI Watch and Action Aid, about 85% of them said
their business was on a slide. Competition (from corporate retail outlet) was the number one reason cited
by the respondents for the decline of their business.
Shopkeepers have increased their work hours to compete with big retailers. About 60% of hawkers and
64% of shopkeepers are working 10-12 hours per day, while 24% worked for 13 hours or more. Incidents
of extortion and eviction have also increased because of the entry of big retailers, the study pointed out.
45% of those surveyed said the levels of harassment and/or evictions had increased recently.6%said it
was a cause of decline in business.
India FDI Watch also slammed a think-tanks report that says the organized and unorganized sectors can
co-exist. Just because organized retail might grow nationwide does not mean that it will grow and coexist with unorganized retail especially given the anti-competitive practices that corporate retailers are
already employing.

ABOUT RETAILING

1. What is Retail?

The word retail is, in fact, derived from the French word RETAILER, which means
to cut off a piece or break bulk. A retailer may be defined as a dealer or trader who sells
goods in small quantities or one who repeats or relates. Retailing can hence, be
considered as the last stage in the movement of goods and or services to the consumers.
put simply, any firm that sells products to the final consumer is performing the function of
retailing .it thus consists of all the activities involved in the marketing of goods and
services directly to the consumers, for their personal, family or household use.

The past century has been witness to many changes occurring in our everyday
world. Industrial and technological growth has made a significant impact on our lives as
consumers. One such industry, which has made a phenomenal impact on our daily lives, is
retail. This industry touches our lives as end consumers, by providing us with the products
or services that we need.

Almost everything we use in our daily lives including the feed we eat, the clothes
we wear, and the things we need for our homes or for ourselves, are bought from retail
stores. Goods are manufactured all over the world but are ultimately sold to us through
these retail stores.
27

(V-MART)

Varin Commercial Pvt. Ltd.

India has already proven its mettle as superpower in the arena of information
technology. The retail industry offers to bloom to the same level if conductive
environment and support is provided it. Indias one billion populations make the country
the second largest in the world in terms of population which is the very basis for
successful organized retailing. We should take heart from the fact that most of the worlds
successful retail stories in the developed as well as developing countries have shaped up in
small towns and villages.

Retailing is a green pasture not just for individuals or companies but also comes
with job opportunities in all aspects of the operations. Professionalisms in retail while still
in its infancy does show some promising future for those keen to make a career in this
fascinating world.

2. What is Retailing?

Retailing consists of those business activities, which are involved, in the


sale of goods or services to consumers for their personal, family or household
use. It is the final stage in the distribution process for good and services from
manufacturers to final consumers.

Retailing involves

(V-MART)

Varin Commercial Pvt. Ltd.

Interpreting needs of the consumers


Developing good assortments of merchandise
Presenting them in an effective manner so that consumer find it easy and attractive
to buy.

Retailing differs from marketing in the sense that refers to only those activities, which
are related to marketing goods and/or services to final consumers for personal, family
or household use.

Whereas marketing , according to American Marketing Association, refers to the


process of planning and executing the conception, pricing, promotion and distribution
of ideas, goods and services to create exchanges that satisfy individual and
organizational objectives.

Organizational buyers purchase in order to perform a task or sell a product effectively,


efficiently and at a profit. They could be industrial buyers or intermediary buyers.
Industrial buyers are those who purchase good and services to be used in or to aid
manufacturing process. Intermediary buyers atr include street vendors, local
supermarkets, department stores, restaurants, hotels, barbershops, airline and every
bike and car showrooms. Still retailing may or may not involve the use of a physical
location. Mail and telephone orders, direct selling to consumers in their homes and
offices and vending machines all fall within the purview of retailing. In addition to it
, retailing may or may not involve a retailer. Manufacturers, importers, non-profit
firms and wholesalers are acting as retailers when they sell goods and/or services to
final consumers.

Whatever the form of retailing, a retail marketing strategy defines the execution of the
marketing process and facilitation of customer satisfaction. This retail marketing
strategy involves selecting a retail target market (i.e. the carefully/exactly identified
group of final consumer that a retailer sees to satisfy) and then implementing the
30

corresponding retail marketing mix (i.e. a combination of product, price, promotion


and distribution strategies that will satisfy the retail target market). The table depicts
consumer service as the crux of the whole activity.

3. RETAILING IN INDIA

RETAIL SALES

The retail market in India is estimated to be worth around USD 180 billion. It is
Indias largest source of employment in the country after agriculture, employing more than
20 million people. The retail industry in India is largely unorganized with small and
individually owned businesses accounting for more than 98% of total retail sales.

There are nearly 12 million retail outlets in India, with a majority of them located
in rural areas. Though India has one of the highest numbers of retail outlets as a
percentage of population in the world, the retail space at 2 sq .ft per capita is amongst the
lowest. There has been a growing shift towards organized retailing in India in recent years.

32

(V-MART)

Varin Commercial Pvt. Ltd.

At present, organized retail in India is estimated to be 2% of the total retail sales.


Experts have predicted high growth in organized retailing and some have projected
organized retail to grow by 30% until 2005.

Recent years have seen the entry of several new players in the retail industry;
chains such as Westside, Shoppers Stop, Foodworld, Crossroads, Wills Lifestyle and
Lifestyle have been establishing themselves in the retail market. In addition several of the
existing players such as Nilgiris and Subhiksha, have been focusing on expanding their
operations. With per capita incomes rising and disposable income rising too, retail
industry is likely to witness high growth. Established retail brands, due to their image of
consistent quality and service, may be the most from these trends.

LIMITATION:Although it would have been nice to conduct a perfect research study, but this study is conducted under
certain limitations, which were faced while doing this research. So it is highly recommended to consider
these limitations while going through the project study.

These limitations are as follows


1. LIMITATION OF DATA
The statistical data regarding the city was not available to us on secondary source of data and to generate
such data on the primary source was a task, which cannot be achieved in such a short time.
2. LIMITATION OF TIME
The limitation of time was another constraint in the study as the study had to be conducted in few months
therefore many aspects have been left unexplored. Locating the target customers is very time consuming.
Research period is not just much enough to know fully about the Price strategies & consumers perception
about Vishal mega mart, Jalandhar-II.
3. INHIBITIONS OF THE RESPONDENTS
The respondents did not reply the question with precision as they were busy with their own work or they
were not interested in taking part in such a research. Employees sometimes feel hesitated while telling
about their view about their marketing strategies.

Other Limitations are:4. Sample size is limited due to the limited period allocated for the survey.
5.
Getting accurate responses from the respondents due to their inherent problem is difficult. They may
6.
7.

be partial or refuse to cooperate.


Respondents may not be interested to give the data.
Sometime respondents are not taking interest in such type of surveys therefore there is chance that

8.

they might be giving wrong information.

customers spend 2000 to 5000 Rs. In Vishal mega mart which shows that people mostly spend their

Model House Jalandhar-II.and 8% customer who spend more than 8000 Rs in Vishal store.
The observation shows that Vishal mega mart, model house Jalandhar-II dont have big customer in terms
of money which is not good for them. Because Jalandhar, Model town is a neighbor town for Vishal. And
model town is that area where very rich families are living. This is good opportunity for Vishal mega
mart. If they want to increase their sale in high level or they want to make big or heavy customer in their
store so they need to do so many things like keep better quality product, good display, better assortment
& variety and make their employees professional & helpful in terms of service. Then they can make their
sale bigger as compare before.

LITERATURE REVIEW

ARTICLE NO. 01
DISCOUNTS MALL LOCAL STORES
Knight Ridder Tribune Business News. Washington: Jul 29, 2009. pg. 1

ABSTRACT (SUMMARY)
An ET survey on the retail market shows that retail chains such as Big Bazaar and Vishal Mega Mart are
offering attractive schemes and selling products at cheaper rates. For instance a kg of bottled Maggi
tomato ketchup costs Rs 74 at Big Bazaar as against a maximum retail price of Rs 84, which a mom-andpop store would charge. Also one can buy a two litre bottle of Sprite for Rs 38 at Vishal Mega Mart
instead of paying a market price of Rs 42 at a local store.

S WO T ANALYS I S

(based on above analysis)

Some of the strengths and weaknesses of Vishal Mega Mart, Model House, and Jalandhar-II are outlined
below. Most of the weaknesses & strengths has been given by customers through to questionnaire..

1. STRENGTHS:

Understanding of the value retail segment


Logistics and distribution network.
Model Town is neighbor town. And Model town is the richest area in the Jalandhar.
New or best locations
Private labels
It sells product at cheaper prices also with discount.
Garment sector of the Vishal is much more superior to other retail stores.
It offers wide range of products under one roof.
It is the only store in Modal house, Jalandhar-II where you can exchange the goods after purchase.

(On selected items).


The Vishal Mega Mart is situated at the good market place Model house.
It segments on middle and lower middle income groups.

2.

WEAKNESSES: Lack of parking space because parking area is not clean & there has been so many things kept on

that area which is not require.

71

(V-MART)

Varin Commercial Pvt. Ltd.

Information technology systems are not working properly like- CCTV. CEMERAS, PRINTERS &

SCANERS etc.
Layout of the Vishal mega mart, Model house Jalandhar-II is quite average.
Lighting system in not good. Because many lights are not working in the stores.
In Vishal Jalandhar-II store A.C. sound is very noisily inside the store. Which irritate the customers..
Music system is not good. Because there has been playing two-2 songs at the same time. This makes

noise in the store.


Absolutely no brand awareness for the product. (Z-Line).
Need to incorporate many new features as per customer requirement.
Lack of proper extraction of work from staff.
Need to include more assortment & varieties of the same item.
Need to provide more offers/ discounts on FMCG. Here the perception of the people is quite low,
because from my consumer behavior survey I have found out that most of respondents think that
Vishal Mega Mart is not providing good offers/discounts on FMCG in comparison of Big bazaar,

VISHAL MEGA MART, Easyday & V-Mart.


Need to improve store layout according to customer facility.
People are not so modern in Model house, Basti Chowk, Jalandhar-II.

3.

OPPORTUNITIES: Increasing penetration in the Jalandhar city by leveraging their supply chain, distribution and

logistics network
Emphasis on Backward Integration.
Expansion of FMCG.
Increasing customer satisfaction and our base of loyal customers
Continue to upgrade information technology systems and processes
Continue to train employees and seek entrepreneurship from employees.
To increase the customer satisfaction by providing different variety of products.

Z-line (Manufacturing unit of Vishal) if we create the brand image of it. It will get additional sales

in the future.
Coming era is of knowledge and information if we sell our manufacturing unit product through
internet so we can create its brand image + additional sales in future.
There is a boom of retail in future according to current scenario. If Vishal creates brand image of its
Z-line product, so it can give direct competition to the other branded products in future.

Making stalls in corporate melas like trade fair, maybe beneficial to create brand image of its

product
Need to provide additional offers and discounts as per customer requirements.
Need to include varieties of similar item.
Provide more discounts on FMCG.

Maintained proper display to create impulse. (It is assumed that near about 70% sales comes from

impulse marketing and if proper display is not maintained impulse cannot be created).
Better if we provide filtered information about Vishal Mega Mart.
Customer facility should always be under watch.
Store should provide free home delivery facility.
Company should ensure that quality and quantity of the commodity is accurate.
Company should provide regular training to their staff and aware him with the modern technique of

selling and customer dealing.


To be improved the parking facility.
Need to include varieties of similar item.
Provide more discounts on FMCG.
Music which creates a environment should be soft and play only one music in the store.
Cleanness and hygiene should be maintained regularly.
Display is very important in store so display should be improved.
Proper signage should be there so that customer can locate the products easily.
Proper packaging and provide contrast labeling in displays of product.
There is a long delay at the billing payment counter mainly because of less number of billing
machines.

CONCLUSION:After completing this research I come to know that Vishal Mega mart is ahead of Easy Day Jalandhar-II
and VISHAL MEGA MART, Jalandhar-II & V-Mart Retail in terms of sales. Only Big Bazaar & Easy
Day Jalandhar-I is ahead of Vishal Mega Mart because of its prime Location and higher product range. .
