1.1 GENERAL INTRODUCTION OF THE SECTOR Retail in India is on a cusp of transformation. Organized retailing as a professional service-oriented set-up, is a recent phenomenon in India but is growing at a tremendous pace with a potential of creating over 2 million new (direct) jobs within the next six years, assuming an 8 to 10 per cent share of organized retailing in the total retail business. The fast changing retail environment demands that professionals learn new skills, improve their efficiency, learn to compete and think out of the box. As retailers work directly with customers and there is need for good managerial talent to interpret and satisfy the needs and desires of customers. All this requires an education that is intensive,

comprehensive and closely linked to the retail business world. The need is to have a program which has all the inherent features of a business management program and includes experiential learning throughout the program. Market Trends, Challenges & Opportunities 1. Across BRIC countries, the food and grocery (F&G) segment is clearly driving retail growth. For eg, retail food sales dominate the total retail market in Brazil, accounting for almost 54 percent of the total retail sales, while Russia is the fastest growing retail

OGLOBAL BUSINESS SCHOOL, HUBLI

food sales market in the world, with the potential to again double in size by 2008. 2. The prevalence of English as a language of communication to a very great extent facilitates material sourcing and business communication. While India and Russia pose no problems in this regard, Brazil and China present communication problems for foreign companies. 3. The importance of governments that are quick on decisionmaking and passing liberal trade laws cannot be emphasized enough. In China, for instance, being a non-democratic country makes it easier for foreign investors to do business sans bureaucratic red-tapism (in comparison to a democratic country like India), the obvious reason being that the political

establishment is not directly accountable to the people. 4. Growing urbanization and metropolitan saturation is leading to the expansion of retail formats and investment opportunities towards tier-II cities and rural hubs across all four countries.

5.

Continued economic reforms together with the growth of

organised retail (especially in the F&G segment) has led to growing rural incomes, triggering off far-reaching, social impacts. The upcoming Golden Quadrilateral' plan for roadways in India, which is to connect the four cities of Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai, will have massive economic and social repercussions

OGLOBAL BUSINESS SCHOOL, HUBLI

on rural and semi-rural clusters along the vast network. In China too, the government plans to create a rural retail network covering 70 percent of all villages by 2008. Retail means selling goods and services in small quantities directly selling to customers. Retailing consists of all activities involved in marketing of goods and services directly to consumer for their personnel family and household use. The Indian retailing industry is becoming intensely competitive, as more and more payers are Vying for the same set of customers. The major retail players are Pantaloon Retail, Shoppers Stop, Reliance,etc.., 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 that Retailing in India was at opening stage in 1995 and now it is in peaking stage in 2006. 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. India ranks first in 2005. In fact, in 2005 and 2006, India is the most compelling opportunity for retailers, because now India is in peaking stage.

OGLOBAL BUSINESS SCHOOL, HUBLI

This window of opportunity is useful for executives who plan their market-specific strategies; the four stages are as follows:

Opening: An opening market is one that is just entering the GRDI, that is, in this stage all, which are outside the top 30 markets, falls in this stage. At this stage, retailers should monitor and performing high-level assessments, they should plan for their entry strategies. India in the late 1990's is a good example in the opening stage, while in 2006, Kazakhstan is the country in opening stage* See figure a. Peaking: In peaking stage, the market is developing quickly and also ready for modern retailing. Countries, which are in Peaking stage, are India, Ukraine and Vietnam. Retailers entering this stage have the best chance for long-term success. Retailers at this stage should enter through local representations, sourcing offices and new stores. WalMart success in china in the late 1990's and early 2000's gives us the importance of committing to a promising high-growth market at right time. Declining:

OGLOBAL BUSINESS SCHOOL, HUBLI

In this stage the market is still big and growing, but the space for new entrants will become tighter and retailers should act quickly at this stage because retailers at this stage have limited time to explore, and laso their margin for error is thin. In general , they should act according to the established rules and should be open to face the competition from international retailers. Closing: The window of opportunity is closing fast and modern retail share is reaching 40 to 60 percent. Though the opportunity is closing the existing retailers can enter with new formats such as discount models or nonfood formats such as consumer electronics and apparel. Window of opportunity ends for about 5 to 10years before a market enters the closing phase and reaches saturation level. India for example, was in the opening stage in 1995 and entered peaking stage in the year 2003 and reached number 1 rank in2005. Unorganized retailing in India In India, the most of the retail sector is unorganized. In India, the retail business contributes around 11 percent of GDP. Of this, the organized retail sector accounts only for about 3 percent share, and the remaining share is contributed by the unorganized sector. The main challenge facing the organized sector is the competition from unorganized sector.

OGLOBAL BUSINESS SCHOOL, HUBLI

Unorganized retailing has 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. Organized retailing in India 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 11% 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. Retailing will show good prospects in cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, kolkata, Banglore and Kanpur. After Dubai, Singapore and Hong Kong, In India Delhi will be the next big retail destination, According to Confederation of Indian Industries whose findings have shown that

OGLOBAL BUSINESS SCHOOL, HUBLI

Delhi has the good resources and good conditions for the retail sector. Out of the total earnings of the Government of Delhi Rs 11,000 crore, Rs 6,500 crore is achieved from the retail sector. 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 Big bazaars, hypermarkets discounted stores and specialty stores, departmental stores. For example, Spencer network has 69 stores, which includes seven Spencer hypermarkets, three Spencer Big Bazaars and 49 Spencer Daily's. 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): Growth drivers in India for retail sector Rising incomes and improvements in infrastructure are enlarging

Advent of dual income families also helps in the growth of retail

Shift in consumer demand to foreign brands like McDonalds,

Sony, Panasonic, etc. Consumer preference for shopping in new environs The Internet revolution is making the Indian consumer more

accessible to the growing influences of domestic and foreign retail chains. Reach of satellite T.V. channels is helping in creating awareness about global products for local markets. About 47% of India's population is under the age of 20; and this

will increase to 55% by 2015. This young population, which is technology-savvy, watch more than 50 TV satellite channels, and display the highest propensity to spend, will immensely contribute to the growth of the retail sector in the country. Availability of quality real estate and mall management practices Foreign companies' attraction to India is the billion-plus

OGLOBAL BUSINESS SCHOOL, HUBLI

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. The company has tied up with 11-B schools including K J Somaiya , Welinkars, Narsee Monjre and IISWBM. "The students joins the course and they are given an appointment letter by Pantaloon to become employees" said Mr. Jog, Pantaloon. Pantaloon is also planning to tie up with Ahmadabad-based National Institute of Design to start a course in visual merchandising. "The apex body of Indian

organized retailers, Retailers Association of India( RAI) is also lending help hand to tide over the shortage of employees in organized retail sector. 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.

12

OGLOBAL BUSINESS SCHOOL, HUBLI

* 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 retail business. Retail and India India's imminent urbanization process has implications for demand for housing, urban infrastructure, location of retail, and demand for consumer durables. The on-stream infrastructure development will drive growth in the transportation sector, spur demand for vehicles, increase real estate values along the Golden Quadrilateral corridor, and potentially boost construction of suburban homes as people escape congested cities. Plus, it will open up thousands of villages en route to a global audience and effectively integrate them with the growing Indian economy. Growth of the Retail market, to a great extent, is the dependent on the size of the country's consuming class and the rate of growth of GDP, especially disposable incomes. India is the world's second most populous country and its GDP growth is likely to surpass that of China by 2015.

13

OGLOBAL BUSINESS SCHOOL, HUBLI

It is estimated that India's GDP will surpass that of the US before 2050, to make it the world's second largest economy. Reflecting on the robust growth in India's GDP, consumer expenditure (in current prices) grew at a relatively high pace of nearly 10 percent per annum over the past two years. India's advantage lies in the fact that it has the largest young population in the world over 890 million Indians are below 45 years of age. The median age for India is 25 years as compared to 28 years for Brazil, 33 years for China and 38 years for Russia. There are more English speaking people in India than on the European continent. The retailing industry in India, estimated at USD 270 Billion in 2006, is expected to double to USD 440 Billion by 2010. The size of the organized retailing market in 2006 stood at USD 12.4 Billion in 2006, thereby making up a mere 4.7 percent of the total retailing market. Of the total retail market, food and grocery retail is by far the single largest block estimated to be worth a whopping Rs.642, 200 core, but more than 99 percent of this market is dominated by the neighborhood mom & pop stores.

14

OGLOBAL BUSINESS SCHOOL, HUBLI

Clothing, textiles and fashion accessories constitute the second largest block. For the year 2007, the India Apparel Report 2007 expects growth of organized retail to touch 40 percent. From 2008 onwards (until at least 2010), organized retail is expected to register around 45 percent YoY growth in India. Total retail in India, which registered 5.7 percent YoY growth from 2004-2006, to range between that and 6 percent YoY growth over the next 3-4 years. With these growth percentages and following from our estimates for 2006, the future estimates* for organized retail in India: 2007 Rs.77, 000 crore; 2008 Rs.111, 500 crore; 2009 Rs.162, 000 crore; and 2010 Rs.235,000 crore. (*Estimates based on 2006 prices). In terms of formats, the energy in terms of new investments is expected to be driven towards the Big bazars and hypermarket segments. All new players Reliance Industries, Bharti Retail/ Wal-Mart, AV Birla Group have shown interest towards developing these two formats, along with wholesale, cash & carry outlets, while India's largest retailer Pantaloon Retail India Ltd. has a continuous store rollout schedule for its Big Bazaar hypermarkets and Food Bazaar Big bazaars.

21

OGLOBAL BUSINESS SCHOOL, HUBLI

as industry standards. For instance, the company integrated backwards into garment manufacturing even as it expanded its retail presence at the front end, well before any other Indian retail company attempted this. It was the first to introduce the concept of the retail departmental store for the entire family through Pantaloons in 1997. The company was the first to launch a hypermarket in India with Big Bazaar, a large discount store that it commissioned in Kolkata in October 2001. And the company introduced the country to the Food Bazaar, a unique 'bazaar' within a hypermarket, which was launched in July 2002 in Mumbai. Embracing our leadership value, the company launched all in July 2005 in Mumbai, making us the first retailer in India to open a fashion store for plus size men and women. Today we are the fastest growing retail company in India. The number of stores are going to increase many folds year on year along with the new formats coming up. The way we work is distinctly "Pantaloon". Our courage to dream and to turn our dreams into reality that change peoples lives, is our biggest advantage. Pantaloon is an invitation to join a place where there are no boundaries to what you can achieve. It means never having to stop asking questions; it means never having to stop raising the bar. It is an opportunity to take risks, and it is this passion that makes our dreams a reality. Come enter a world where we promise you good days and bad days, but never a dull moment!

Biyani to hive off Big Bazaar early next fiscal The roar of retail is getting louder. As Reliance Retail pumps in rs 25,000 croer into the countrys retail artery and Bharti-Wal-Mart lines up $2.5 billion, Kishore Biyanis Future Group is also switching to battle gear.

27

OGLOBAL BUSINESS SCHOOL, HUBLI

The Rs 2,500-crore retail major is hiving off one of its popular formats Big Bazaar - by early next fiscal, as part of its plan to split businesses and raise money separately for each format. Sources said a team has been on the job for the last few months and work to hive off Big Bazaar as a separate company is in the last stage. Biyani is focusing on the metros and wants to dominate the top eight metros in the country. It needs truckloads of money to expand in these cities. Biyani wants to have 11 Big Bazaars in Bangalore, eight in Mumbai and seven in Kolkata by the end of current calendar year. In all these new upcoming stores, Big Bazaar will place its own private label products. The Big Bazaar network contributed Rs 2,000 crore to the Future Groups turnover in 2005-06. Kishore Biyani, CEO, Future Group, told DNA Money, We have plans to hive off Big Bazaar as a separate company. Biyani to hive off Big Bazaar early next fiscal Analysts say Biyani knows huge markets remain untapped in small cities, but the evolving competitive scenario and aggressive entry of Reliance Retail and Bharti-Wal-Mart will change the dynamics in retailing. So it would make sense to dominate the big cities first. In last six months, the group had opened nine Big Bazaars, three Food Bazaars, two Brand Factory outlets, two Pantaloons stores and five

28

OGLOBAL BUSINESS SCHOOL, HUBLI

other stores across formats, taking its total retail space to 3.8 million sq ft across 32 cities. The company plans to increase the size of Big Bazaar network from 41 at present to 100 by the end of current calendar year, with an investment of Rs 1,000 crore. It is planning to cover 15 more cities, including tier-II cities such as Vijayawada and Visakhapatnam. It will invest an average of Rs 15 crore on each outlet, depending on the space and real estate prices in various cities. The size of outlets will range from 40,000 square feet to 1.7 lakh square feet. 2.3 Present status of the Organization: Big Bazaar last week concluded its three day weekend sales , which it had done last year as well. 'Sabse sasta' , or cheapest weekend. Last year we remember there was chaos at their stores as people simply jammed the aisles and roads. Apparently, they sold Rs 450 crore worth of merchandise in just three days- possibly equal to 3 months sales. This year too, we await some numbers. They were also advertising solidly on radio- and once you order, they would deliver home. We can only imagine the supply chain magnitude for such events- a spike that takes everything thru the roof- planning, purchasing, people, IT et al. Interesting though, and from what we gather they could handle it well enough last year, which suggests that the company is getting more IT and systems sav

5.2 CONCLUSSIONS AND RECOMMEANDATIONS


Since the store is located outer part of the city and near by there are no good restaurants so Big Bazaar has a good opportunity to

70

OGLOBAL BUSINESS SCHOOL, HUBLI

introduce a restaurant. Customers which are visiting the store they may give good business. As the Brand name is positioned in the minds of the customers again it has to focus on its Tag line which says ISSE SASTA AUR ACHA KAHIN NAHI. To support this it has to introduce various offers and concentrate on prices they should not be more. Most of the customers agree that services are good and some of them says it is not good again while interacting with customers they were complaining that services are very poor specially in case of exchanging of damaged products the sales executives takes too much time. So the store has to concentrate the customer should not get irritated with the store. Most of the customers are satisfied with the organized retailing so store has to provide best dealing to the customers. It has to identify the needs of the customer through continuous feed back and according to the customers feed back it has to act. The technology mostly affects the buying behavior of the customer so employees should be trained properly and while recruiting the manpower a special care should be taken that the applicant should be of sound of technically.

71

OGLOBAL BUSINESS SCHOOL, HUBLI

Since most of the customers find promotions of the store in News Papers so Big Bazaar has to concentrate on other medias like Television, Radio and Internet. The response towards the pre and post services of the store is Moderate and while interacting with the customers they were telling that it is not good specially after sales store doesnt concentrate on customers so the store should concentrate on Post sales service.

Conclusion

Big Bazaar is a chain of department stores in India, currently with 75 outlets. It is owned by the Pantaloon Retail India Ltd, Future Group. It works on the same economy model as Wal-Mart and has considerable success in many Indian cities and small towns. The idea was pioneered by entrepreneur Kishore Biyani, the CEO of Future Group. Currently Big Bazaar stores are located only in India. It is the biggest and the fastest growing chain of department store and aims at being 350 stores by the end of year 2010. During the process of my project in big bazaar with respect to in store offers, I found that more of an activity is required with regular feed back and update is the key success to any decision relating to the increase in the output that is the results. Indian retail is having a very good opportunity even though rise in food prices and inflation; it hardly matters when it comes to optimum utilization of resources and growing with fast changing market. To conclude with results obtained from the survey of customers I feel Big Bazaar has got very good positioning in the customers of HUBLIDHARWAD, The promotions drag the customers and this the main reason why customers Big Bazaar, most of the customers came to know by ads in news papers.
