The word "Retail" originates from a French-Italian word. Retailer-someone who cuts off or
sheds a small piece from something. Retailing is the set of activities that markets products or
services to final consumers for their own personal or household use. It does this by
organizing their availability on a relatively large scale and supplying them to customers on a
relatively small scale. Retailer is a Person or Agent or Agency or Company or Organization
who is instrumental in reaching the Goods or Merchandise or Services to the End User or
Ultimate Consumer.
Retailing is the most active and attractive sector of last decade. While the retailing industry
itself has been present since ages in our country, it is only the recent past that it has witnessed
so much dynamism. The emergence of retailing in India has more to do with the increased
purchasing power of buyers, especially post-liberalization, increase in product variety, and
increase in economies of scale, with the aid of modern supply and distributions solution.
Indian retailing today is at an interesting crossroads. The retail sales are at the highest point in
history and new technologies are improving retail productivity. Though there are many
opportunities to start a new retail business, retailers are facing numerous challenges.

Traditional retail scene in India:
India is the country having the most unorganized retail market. Traditionally the retail
business is run by Mom & Pop having Shop in the front & house at the back. More than 99%retailers function in less than 500Sq.Ft of area. All the merchandise was purchased as per the
test & vim and fancies of the proprietor also the pricing was done on ad hock basis or by
seeing at the face of customer. Generally the accounts of trading & home are not maintained
separately. Profits were accumulated in slow moving & non-moving stocks which were to
become redundant or consumed in-house. Thus profits were vanished without their
knowledge. The Manufactures were to distribute goods through C & F agents to Distributors
& Wholesalers. Retailers happen to source the merchandise from Wholesalers & reach to
end-users. The merchandise price used to get inflated to a great extent till it reaches from
Manufacturer to End-user. Selling prices were largely not controlled by Manufacturers.
Branding was not an issue for majority of customers. More than 99% customers are price
sensitive & not quality or Brand Sensitive at the same time they are Brand conscious also.
Weekly Bazaar in many small tows was held & almost all the commodities were on the scene
including livestock. Bargaining was the unwritten law of market. Educational qualification
level of these retailers was always low. Hence market was controlled by handful of
distributors &/or Wholesalers. Virtually there was only one format of retailing & that was
mass retail. Retailer to consumer ratio was very low, for all the categories without exception.
Varity in terms of quality, Styles were on regional basis, community based & truly very low
range was available at any given single place. Almost all the purchases / (buying) by mass
population was need oriented & next turn may be on festivals, Marriages,
Birthdaysl&Asomekspecifickoccasions.
Impulsive buying or consumption is restricted to food or vegetables etc. Having extra pair of
trousers or Shirts or Casuals & Formals & leisure wear & sports wear & different pair of
shoes for occasions is till date is a luxury for majority population except for those living in
Metros. Purchasing power of Indian urban consumer is very low and that of Branded
merchandise in categories like

Apparels, Cosmetics, Shoes, Watches, Beverages, Food, Jewellery, are slowly seeping into
the lifeline of Indian City folks. However electronic & electrical home appliances do hold
appropriate image into the minds of consumers. Brand name does matter in these white goods
categories. In the coming times also majority of organized retailers will find it difficult to
keep balance with rest of the unbranded retail market which is very huge.
Retail is Indias largest industry, accounting for over 10 per cent of the countrys GDP and
around eight 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-storeyed malls
and huge complexes offer shopping, entertainment and food all under one roof. The Indian
retailing sector is at an inflexion point where the growth of organized retailing and growth in
the consumption by the Indian population is going to take a higher growth trajectory. The
Indian population is witnessing a significant change in its demographics. A large young
working population with median age of 24 years, nuclear families in urban areas, along with
increasing working-women population and emerging opportunities in the services sector are
going to be the key growth drivers of the organized retail sector in India.

ADITYA BIRLA RETAIL LIMITED - more.
Mission
Our mission is to change the way people shop. We will give them more
The Groups foray into the retail sector began in 2006, when the Aditya Birla Group acquired
Trinethra, the south-India based chain of stores. Trinethra has over 170 outlets spread across

4. Store Locations:1. Thane Mohan Heritage2. Kalyan Shelar ParkThese are the stores in Central Mumbai. At present there are 16 stores here and at present
there are no plans to open any more store in or beyond this area.
ABRL is looking out for store locations in areas like Ghatkopar, Kurla and in the suburban
areas like Vile Parle and Worli.
5. Store Docket:Store dockets are prepared so as they serve as a bible for the present Store Manager and alsohelp the coming Managers to understand the store and the catchment around the store in a
better way.
It contains Shopper Profile that helps to know the number of households in the area and also
their purchase preferences as in the store name and the category that they prefer to purchase
from the particular store. It helps to understand customers buying behaviour. It also consists
of identifying the recreation areas, clubs, multiplexes, malls and restaurants in the area to
help identify areas where any promotional activities are to be conducted. It also includesidentifying target shopper congregation points which includes educational institutes, petrol
pumps, mandals, govt. organizations where they can again target the customers.
The next section in the docket is that ofCompetition Stores. In this there is a mention of
organized stores (modern trade), unorganized stores (traditional kiranas), mandis or
wholesale market in the catchment from where the potential customers buy. Details required
for organized and unorganized stores are
1.Name

4.Average Walkins
5.Average Ticket Value (Avg. sales / Avg. walkins)

These details for the modern as well as traditional trade helps understand our position in
terms of competition and also helps know consumer purchase preferences.
This section also includes marketing activities at competition so as to understand their
promotional activities and their actions so as to do well in the market.
The next part in the docket is the Marketing Activities of our store. Here there is a mention
of number of leaflets that are currently being distributed in the catchment area. Leaflets are of
A4 and A5 size. It also includes a door drop activity that has the name of the building or
society and the quantity of leaflets that they require. Also is there are areas where in
awareness is still required then for such areas banners have to be put up. Here we need to
mention the quantity and the size of banners along with communication element, meaning the
language in which communication in the area has to carry out. Also in certain areas that are
far away from our stores and we have some potential customers in the area than we need
some directional banners. Directional banners are also required in case the store is not on the
main road and visibility of the store is a problem. For these reasons we put up directional
banners that help guide way to the customers coming to the store.
It also includes mention of prominent bus shelters, gantries, traffic kiosks which will serve as
prominent hoarding sites.

Then a section comes wherein the stores needs to be scored. The Score Card consists of 5
parameters which are-
Location- location of the store in terms of area around, residential areas is a
preferred area. It also includes the number of competitors around.
Store size- here the store size is rated as per the no. of residents in the area. The
store should be able to accommodate the customers coming in the
store. It also sees the ease with which customer can shop in the
store.ie. whether trolley moving space is available or no and other
such factors.
Sales- rating has to be given as per the areas potential. For this we
Need to see the competitors sales and also the SEC of the
people residing in the catchment.
Footfalls- for this again the potentials is seen. The no. of people residing in the
area and the no. coming to our store for purchase has to be seen.
Visibility space- this includes visibility from outside as well as inside. Outside visibility
means the ease with which the store can be located and seen from the
road. Inside visibility would mean the placement of the products on the
shelves. How easily are they visible to the customers coming in the
store how convenient is it for any customer to locate any item that he
wants.
Once this is done a total has to be taken and an average rating is found out. Then it is to be
decided in this basis whether the store is a lead or a lag store.
The next section includes the Map. This map is the catchment map which includes the area
up to 1.5 to 2 kms radius from the store. It includes the societies, competitors stores and any
other recreational areas around the area.

The next section that follows is the Questionnaire Analysis. The analysis is in the form of
pie-chats that helps to understand the buying pattern of the consumers. It has questions like
the buying preferences in terms of regular store or any store and their buying patterns like
packed items or loose items. Through these questions we come to know the needs of the
catchment. It also helps to understand the demographics of the areas and the SEC of the
catchment. This helps to understand the kind of products required to be kept in the particular
area. For e.g. if it is Maharashtrian dominated catchment than more of poha, shingdana, tur
dal and rice is required. Likewise it also helps to understand the benchmarking product for
the catchment.

1. Stock problems in the store- there is a huge stock issue in this area. The stores are outof stocks for a major and very important period of the buying cycle.ie. in the month
start.
There are 2 reasons associated with the same-
a. The system is not taking the inventory count on its own and so replenishmentof stock is not happening
b. The other reason being that the store has been given a C grade, so the storesare not sent stocks on time
For the reason 1, the IT system has to be updated regularly and for the other reasons
the performance and the catchment be reviewed and to be given grades again. As the
stores that are ranked C grades have a potential to grow if given right support.
2. In both the stores the required stock is not sent and if sent then the MBQ is very lessfor the store. In such cases, the areas to be identified and the demographics to be
understood well so that the category availability is proper and fulfills the catchment
need. For the same reason, I have mentioned the areas along with the demographics
and the SEC classification. This will help deciding the products and the category that
has to be kept in the store.
3. We at our stores are not able to provide sufficient discounts for categories. Here ourcompetitors have a stronger hold and advantage over our stores. For the same reason
we need to offer more or at least same discounts as our competitors. Moreover the
discounts that we have are only very 0.25paise on products that actually gets rounded
off when the bill is made. So this aspect needs a major attention as far as pricing isconcerned to attract customers. The pricing has to be competitive.
8/8/2019 Final Copy of Final Project
57/68
57
4. We also have a disadvantage over our competitors in these areas as there are majorpeople here who are non vegetarians and we at our stores do not keep non vegetarian
food except eggs. Though in certain stores we have decided to come up with
providing non vegetarian food.
5. Other major problem that we have is home delivery. We require to have a stronghome delivery for the customers. As this is what is required by the customers now-a-
days.
6. We should start up with some competitions or activities in the fore court areas or inthe society and try and spread awareness about the store. The activities could include-
a. Having some competitions like painting or quiz or childrenb. Some recipe competition for house wives
7. We at present have a very poor IT System and it has it improve over a period of time.The billing takes too long, there are some errors in the bills taking up the discounts.
However this shall improve over time.
8. We have to be more clear and specific with the membership card that we offer to thecustomers. The surprise gifts have to contain some redemption points and not any
kind of surprise gifts. As these gifts if not be liked by the customers than the
membership card may hold no meaning.
9. In Shelar Park store where a loose staple are required and is preferred more. So forthis area we will have to keep loose staples for the customers.
10.The CSAs in the store are required to know the language that is used most commonlyin the catchment area. It helps to attract more customers and helps create a friendly
environment in the mind of customers and also ensures that the customers shall come
again to the store. As what finally matters in retail industry is the kind of service that
one provides. Service is the only distinguishing feature that helps retail sector.

11.Our stores can work on some themes. Like seasonal themes and the store be keptcolourful and attractive for the kids to be attracted to the store.
12.We shall start keeping stationary materials like children study material-books, pencils,erasers in the store. The locations of the store are such that they are away from the
station and in these areas there is at present very little development that has actually
taken place. For the same reason if we can provide these people with such children
needs then we will be able to attract children more to the stores. Specially the stores
which are located very near to schools and colleges.
13.Also store location for another more store to be carefully studied. There are areaswhere a more has become a competitor for an existing more store. For e.g. In Kalyan,
Shelar Park is at a distance of less than 500mts than Mohan Heights.

55.. CCoonncclluussiioonn::
After interviewing the customer in the catchment area , marketing team , store people
i.e. SM, CSS, CSA and analyzing the data. I came to know that the customer in the
Central Mumbai belong to middle class and usually this people are attracted towards
offers , assortment, quality , price , fresh F&V . So for achieving the mentioned objective
there is needed to work upon the customer need. All the store in the Central Mumbai has
a potential to perform 100% just need little efforts. For e.g., In the month of January
Shelar Park has achieved 84% of the target i.e. target was Rs. 16,40,000 , Mohan
Heights has achieved 91% of the target i.e. target was Rs. 15,00,000. There is needed to
run fresh marketing activities in this area.
