INTRODUCTION
The Indian retail industry is now beginning to evolve in the line with the
transformation that has swept other large economies. There is a change a foot inIndian retail too, the liberalization of the consumer goods industry initiated in the
mid-80s and accelerated through the !0s has begun to impact the structure and
conduct of the retail industry.
The Indian retail landscape is evolved from the bric"-and-mortar model to adopt
technology for connecting with consumers. The aim is to achieve a complete seamless
customer e#perience. The Indian retail sector accounts for over $0% of the countrys
gross domestic product &'()* and contributes 8% to total employment. The
cumulative foreign direct investment &+(I* inflows in single-brand retail trading,
during pril $000 to une $011, stood at !.$ million /(. The current estimated
value of the Indian retail sector is about 00 billion /( and is pegged to reach 1.2
trillion /( by $0$0.
India is the
th
largest retail mar"et in the world. The country ran"s fourth among thesurveyed 20 countries in terms of global retail development. The current mar"et size
of Indian retail industry is about /3 00 billion &ource4 I56+* and is e#pected to
grow at the rate of 1-$0% p.a. The retail industry is e#pected to increase to /3 70-
80 billion by $01 &according to a report by (eloitte*. etailing has played a ma9or
role the world over in increasing productivity across a wide range of consumer goods
and services. In the developed countries, the organized retail industry accounts for
almost 80% of the total retail trade. In contrast, in India organized retail trade
accounts for merely 8-10% of the total retail trade. This highlights a lot of scope for
further penetration of organized retail in India.
The sector can be broadly divided into two segments4 :alue retailing, which is
typically a low margin-high volume business &primarily food and groceries* and
;ifestyle retailing, a high margin-low volume business &apparel, footwear, etc.*. The
sector is further divided into various categories, depending on the types of products
offered. +ood dominates mar"et consumption with 0% share followed by fashion.
The relatively low contribution of other categories indicates opportunity for organized

retail growth in these segments, especially with India being one of the worldonstore etailing as
the direct selling, direct mar"eting, automatic vending.
Therefore, this concept of retail mar"eting through organised retail stores, which is
coming up in a big way in India was decided to be studied in detail.
The ob9ective being to assess the various parameters that influences a buyer to shop at
organised retail food and grocery store thereby contributing to its turnover &in terms
of sales and profits* hence leading to its overall success.
The e#tensive research brought me to conclude that departmental stores are soon
emerging on the top priority lists, amongst the shopping spree in 5angalore, as they
seem to derive immense pleasure as shopping is considered as a e#perience now
rather than a tas" and e#posure to variety under one roof, in their e#tremely busy
lives, when they dont have time for things.
The organised retail food and grocery stores ma"e constant efforts to induce
customers to visit the store by discount offers.
?ost of these stores believe in creating not 9ust a mar"eting activity with its
customers, but rather favour relationship building with him so as to convert first time

customers into a client. They provide better par"ing facilities to customers and the
facility to e#amine the product. They also offer a wide range of payment options to
customers.
=ence this document entails me through these aspects in great detail, helping me to
understand the concept of retail mar"eting through departmental stores in 5angalore.

etailing is the final stage of distribution process in which the retailer, as an
intermediary, collects an assortment of goods and services from various sources and
offers them to the customer. fter 0 years of unorganized retailing and fragmented
"irana stores, the Indian retail industry has finally begun to move towards
modernization, systematization and consolidation. Today, modernization is the catch
phrase and the "ey to understanding retail in the ne#t decade. The total retail trade in
India is estimated at about 3200 billion out of which organized business accounts for
only 3! billion.
Arganized retail is new format for Indian consumers and it is having only 2% share of
retailing in India. Be see tremendous increase in organized retail stores now but the
big Cuestion is that would these organised retail stores succeed. Bhat are the factors
that will ma"e them succeed if at all or the factors that could result in their failureD It
is very hard for organised retail store to attract customer from the "irana stores which
are decades of old compared to new organised retail store.
Bith the help of my study I would try to predict the success of organised retail in
India if at all which is dominated by Eirana shops. Bould the organised retail store be
able to attract customers also in future and succeedD
etail business is lin"ed to consumption patterns of the consumers and hence
dependent not only upon li"es and disli"es and changing preferences regarding goods
and services but also on availability of disposable income in their hands. Thus, the
growth of the sector is lin"ed to discretionary income in the hands of the people,
which is lin"ed to economic growth.

To study the impact of emerging trends of retailing on shopping behaviour.
Aur grandparents used to go to mandi to purchase merchandise. The ne#t generation
moved on to the neighbourhood G"irana stores, and couldnt do without delivery at
the doorstep. Todays shoppers have big spacious hypermar"ets to shop in or if thats
too far away, now, they have neighbourhood convenience stores li"e ubhi"sha.
To investigate how Indian organised retail has been customised according
shopping behaviour of Indian consumer.
The organised retail outlets in India are different from the 6uropean and merican
organised retail in a number of ways. This change was brought about because the
taste of Indian customer is different.

LITERATURE REVIE%
ccording to )hilip Eotler4 etailing includes all the activities involved in selling
goods or services to the final consumers for personal, non-business use. retailer or
retail store is any business enterprise whose sale volume comes primarily from
retailing.
ny organization selling to final consumers whether it is a manufacturer, wholesaler
or retailer is doing retailing. It does not matter how the goods or services are sold &by
person, mail, telephone, vending machine or internet or where they are sold- in a
store, on the street or in the consumers home.*J
The word retail is derived from the +rench word retaillier, which means to cut off a
piece or to brea" bul". retailer may be defined, as a Gdealer or trader who sells
goods in small Cuantities or Gone who repeats or relates.
etailing thus may be understood as the final step in the distribution of merchandise,
for consumption by the end consumers. )ut simply, any firm that sells products to the
final consumer is performing the function of retailing. It thus consists of all activities
involved in the mar"eting of goods and services directly to the consumers for their
personal, family or household use.
etailing consists of the sale of goodsKmerchandise for personal or household
consumption either from a fi#ed location such as a department store or "ios", or away
from a fi#ed location and related subordinated services. In commerce, a retailer buys
goods or products in large Cuantities from manufacturers or importers, either directly
or through a wholesaler, and then sells individual items or small Cuantities to the
general public or end user customers, usually in a shop, also called store. etailers are
at the end of the supply chain. ?ar"eters see retailing as part of their overall
distribution strategy.
hops may be on residential streets, or in shopping streets with little or no houses, or
in a shopping centre. hopping streets may or may not be for pedestrians only.
ometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from
precipitation.

7/26/2019 Gowtham Final Project

hopping is buying things, sometimes as a recreational activity. @heap versions of the
latter are window shopping &9ust loo"ing, not buying* and browsing.
etail is the final stage of any economic activity. 5y virtue of this fact, retail occupies
an important place in the world economy. In an attempt to understand the scope of the
term retail, various definitions of the term have been e#amined.
It is necessary to understand that in the comple# world of trade today, retail would
include not only goods but also services, which may be provided to the end consumer.
In an age where the customer is the "ing and mar"eters are focusing on customer
delight, retail may be redefined as the first point of customer contact.
There are three ma9or types of retailing. The first is counter service, now rare e#cept
for selected items. The second, and more widely used method of retail, is self-service.
Luic"ly increasing in importance are online shops, the third type, where products and
services can be ordered for physical delivery, downloading or virtual delivery.
6ven though most retailing is done through self-service, many shops offer counter
service items, e.g. controlled items li"e medicine and liCuor, and small e#pensive
items.
large shop is called a superstore. shop with many different "inds of articles is
called a department store.
?any shops are part of a chain4 a number of similar shops with the same name selling
the same products in different locations. The shops may be owned by one company, or
there may be a franchising company that has franchising agreements with the shop
owners.

tore retailing provides consumers to shop for goods and services in a wide variety of
stores and it also helps the @onsumers to get all the needed goods and services from
one shop only. The different types of store retailing are given below4
S'e*ialt+ Stores, These stores focus on leisure tastes of different individuals. They
have a narrow product line with deep assortment such as apparel stores, sporting
goods stores, furniture stores, florists and boo"stores. These stores are usually
e#pensive and satisfy the needs of selected consumers who have li"ing or preference
for e#clusive things.
De'art(ental Store, These stores are usually build in large area and "eep variety of
goods under one shed. It is usually divided into different sections li"e clothing, "ids
section, home furnishings, electronic appliances and other household goods. In a
departmental store a consumer can buy variety of goods under one shed.
S-'er(aret, These stores are relatively large, low cost, low margin, high volume,
self service operations designed to serve total needs for food, laundry
and household maintenance products.
Con/enien*e Stores, These are relatively small stores located near residential
area, open for long hours seven days a wee", and carrying a
limited line of high turnover convenience products at slightly
higher prices than departmental stores. ?any such stores also
have added ta"eout sandwiches, coffee and pastries.
O00 Pri*e Retailer, These stores sell goods at low price with lower margins M
higher volumes. These stores sell goods with deteriorated Cuality. The defects are
normally minor. This target at the persons belonging to the lower income group,
though some have a collection of imported goods aimed to target the younger
generation. The company owned showroom selling the seconds products is a typical
e#ample of off - price retailer.
Dis*o-nt Store, These stores sell standard merchandise at lower prices by accepting
lower margins and selling higher volumes. The use of occasional discounts or specials

lower prices, offering mostly national brands, not inferior goods.
In recent years, many discount retailers have traded upJ. They have improved decor,
added new lines and services, and opened suburban branchesNall of which has led to
higher costs and prices. nd as some department stores have cut their prices to
compete with discounters.
>ot only that, discount stores have moved beyond general merchandise into specialty
merchandise stores, such as discount sporting goods stores, electronics stores, and
boo"stores.
Catalog S2o3roo(, @atalog showrooms generally sell a broad selection of high-
mar"-up, fast-moving, brand-name goods at discount prices. These include 9ewellery,
power tools, cameras, luggage small appliances, toys, and sporting goods. @atalog
showrooms ma"e their money by cutting costs and margins to provide low prices that
will attract a higher volume of sales. @atalog showrooms have been struggling in
recent years to hold their share of the retail mar"et.

(ifferent types of non-store retailing are given below4
Dire*t Selling, (irect selling which started centuries ago with itinerant peddlers has
burgeoned into a 3! billion industry, with over 00 companies selling door to door,
office to office, or at home sales parties. variant of direct selling is called multilevel
mar"eting, whereby companies such as mway recruit independent businesspeople
who act as distributors for their products, who in turn recruit and sell to sub
distributors, who eventually recruit others to sell their products, usually in customer
homes.
Dire*t areting, (irect mar"eting has its roots in mail-order mar"eting but today
includes reaching people in other ways than visiting their homes or offices, including
telemar"eting, television direct response mar"eting, and electronic shopping.

The pricing techniCue used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing. This involves adding
a mar"-up amount &or percentage* to the retailers cost. nother common techniCue is
suggested retail pricing. This simply involves charging the amount suggested by the
manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer.
In Bestern countries, retail prices are often so-called psychological prices or odd
prices4 a little less than a round number, e.g. 3.!. In @hinese societies, prices are
generally either a round number or sometimes a luc"y number. This creates price
points.
Aften prices are fi#ed and displayed on signs or labels.
C2ain stores 7also *alle retail *2ains8are a range of retail outlets, which
share a brand and central management, usually with standardized business methods
and practices. They are a type of business chain. uch stores may be branches owned
by one company or franchises owned by local individuals or firms and operated under
contract with the parent corporation. +eatures common to all chains are centralized
mar"eting and purchasing, which often result in economies of scale, meaning lower
costs and presumably higher profits.
These characteristics also apply to chain restaurants and some service-oriented chain
businesses. ome argue that the standardized products which result from such
centralization are culturally detrimentalO for e#ample, chain music stores are frowned
upon by some for stoc"ing wor"s of more popular music if they e#clude less well
"nown, usually independent artists. @ritics of chains allege that they are economically
damaging to communities because they e#tract capital that otherwise would
recirculate in the local economy with independently owned businesses.

Pharp showroom display is always money well spent.P
In developing an effective store design, a most critical element is how the store is
organized for a logical unfolding or discovery of merchandise by the browser. Is your
store easy to shopD
There are several approaches to retail store organization and merchandise display. The
first and most common are to display similar merchandise all in the same area. Hou
might, however, want to consider as an alternate presentation method, ;ifestyle
?erchandising. This is a more thematic interpretation of Gcross merchandising,
presenting products in this manner can also increase the perceived value of items that
normally would seem unconnected with any other merchandise. +inally, you may find
that a combination of the two merchandising styles may best be suited to your mar"et
area or target customer. @reating room settings in highly visible focal areas of your
store and positioning commodity products in convenient locations ma"e it easy for the
customer to stoc" up and help you achieve the best of both methods of display.

layout creates an image in the shopper>I>'
)lanning a store is how to allocate scarce resources, pace. The retailer must create a
store layout, which shows the location of all the merchandise departments and the
placement of circulation aisles to allow customers to move through the store. The
merchandise presentation must be e#citing to catch and hold the customers attention,
be easy to understand, and encourage shoppers to browse, evaluate and buy.
Therefore, the presentation of the merchandise is a critical factor in the sales power of
a store and significant on the store image.
Bith pace )lanning, etailers can boost their return on inventory investment by
Cuic"ly analyzing inventory data to "eep the right amount of product on-hand and

;ocation is considered to be a "ey component of the retail strategy of the any store. It
also guides the direction and success of retailing industry in general. Indian retail
units have to struggle on account of the shortage of real estate for new pro9ects and
even retail space in central business districts is out of reach for retailers due to price
and high demand. ome of the new retail pro9ects initiated by private houses are
suffering on account of lac" of cooperation form the local bodies in respect of
security, hard infrastructure &power, roads*, and public transportation facilities. In
such conditions, retailers are ending up with incompatible retail property at high price.
)oor state of retail estate in India can be attributed to the following factors.
tamp duties on transfer of property are very high and inconsistent throughout
India. tamp duties are ta#ed payable of every conceivable documented
transaction. It is a form of revenue for a state, which is why it varies form state to
state.
The /rban ;and @eiling ct and ent @ontrol cts were repealed 9ust a few years
bac", but it has distorted property mar"ets in urban centres, leading to
e#ceptionally high property prices, particularly of retail property in central
business districts.
The presence of pro-tenancy laws ma"es it difficult to remove a tenant or tenants.
The problem is multiplied by tedious and long drawn procedures to clear titles of
ownership.
;and use conversion is time consuming and comple#, particularly in case of new
shopping centres, which are coming up on out of town agricultural land.
=uge costs are involved in terms of time and money in legal processes for
property disputes.
@ity urban planning pro9ects smaller commercial plots and this, together with rigid
building and uncertain zoning laws, hinders the procurement of retail property.
>on-residents are not allowed to own property e#cept if they are of Indian origin.
+oreign-owned Indian companies can own property for business purposes.

The traditional independent retailers that practice child labour have come under
stringent provisions of the law forbidding child labour. Therefore, dependence on
adult and e#perienced wor"force will definitely increase their cost of operations. An
the other hand, the organized retailers are facing multiple challenges on this front,
such as limited supply of trained wor"force and labour laws hindering operations in
accordance with their business reCuirements. The labour laws that protect storewor"ers are not fle#ible enough to support the organized formats of retailing.
ome local government bodies, after a series of reCuest, recently e#tended permission
to shopping centres to operate up to !.20 p.m. on all days including national holiday.
+or e#ample, the >ew (elhi government provided such permission to nsal )laza.
5ut e#tended wor"ing hours stand contrary to e#isting labour laws. Ane of them is
that wor"force can only be employed for a specified number of hours and, therefore,
to operate stores for a longer interval of time the retails have to depend on multiple
shift duties. 5eing sub9ect to seasons demand cycle &festive and end of year*, these
stores prefer to have part-time arrangement, which is not permissible under the
e#isting laws. The increases of stores cost of operation
It is fact that the retailing industry is in its starting phase in our country. The benefits
of organized retailing will only be felt once an eCuitable scale is achieved. This, to a
large e#tent, depends on the store size, bills per customer per year, average bill size,and the revenue earned per sC. ft. 5ut, besides resources and bottom-line, a variety of
other aspect need to be in place for tasting success. The need for Cualified and trained
manpower is of utmost importance.
In order to survive in todays tough retail climate, companies must continually
innovate ways to create stronger, more direct lin"s with their customers. t the same
time, retailers must focus on the most demanding customers who want customization,
value, and service.

>ew store design must assault the consumers sense of sight, sound, taste, touch, and
smell- preferably all at the same time. In the environment merchandising and
especially displays are more important than ever as being on top-to-of-mind will "eep
the brand growing.
ccording to a ?cEinsey report, if appropriate reforms are carried out, this sector is
capable of creating eight million 9obs in the ne#t two years, and it can also provide 9ob
opportunities for people transitioning from agriculture. An the +(I &foreign direct
investment* front, although a number of retail players have been advocating +(I in
retail one should not e#pect the investments to pour into this sector in India. The +(I
policy needs to be framed in such a way that it attract foreign players to invest in
India. +(I will bring in not only the much needed capital to fuel growth but also
sophisticated systems and "now how and will shorten the learning curve.
In fact, the challenges of urban and rural retailing will "eep mar"eters, busy for much
of this millennium.
The retail industry in India is high unorganized and predominantly consists of small,
independent, owner-managed shops. etailing is Indias largest industry, accounting
for 12% of the '() &gross domestic product*. There are around million retail
outlets in India. +ood sales constitute a high proportion of total retail sales.
There are three aspects of Gboom in retail in India. &a* The emergence of newer,
specialized, and bigger retail formats in urban India with greater focus on
Ge#periential aspects of shopping. This has been promoted by a more demanding
consumer, higher disposable incomes, entry of foreign brands in the Indian mar"ets,
and entry of Indian business houses in the retail sector. &b* (eeper and wider
penetration of retail networ" in rural India promoted by greater recognition of the
potential of rural mar"ets especially in the +?@' and consumer durables sector. &c*
edesigning the retail mi# by the traditional retailers as a sign of greater maturity of
the sector and also the rub-off effect of the development in the organized sector.
The traditional retail formats refer to retail formats that have long been part of the
retail landscape of India. They include formats li"e "irana and independent stores that
are typical of the unorganized retail sector and also the most administratively

The total concept and idea of shopping has undergone a vast drawing change in terms
of format and consumer buying behaviour, ushering in a revolution in shopping in
India. ?odern retailing has entered into India as is observed in the form of sprawling
shopping centres, multi-storied malls and the huge comple#es that offer shopping,
entertainment and food all under one roof.
The Indian retail industry has e#perienced growth of 10.% between $010 and $01$

fter a challenging +H1$, the retail sector recorded increase in sales volumes on y-o-
y basis in +H12. It also pared some losses through efficient cost and supply
management. (espite best efforts, operating margin of the retailers failed to improve
during +H12, primarily due to increase in input cost. lso, high interest rates and
scarcity of funds proved to be a ma9or constraint to the growth of the sector.
(uring +H12, the Indian government provided some impetus to the sector by
announcing +oreign (irect Investment &+(I* in retail. It allowed 100% +(I in single
brands and 1% in multi-brand. =owever, it continues to face strong opposition from
farmers, "irana shop owners and ?6s &small to medium enterprises* as entry of
foreign players will increase competition and may impact their businesses. The
government has now left the decision to the respective states to decide if and when
they would li"e to allow +(I in the sector.
etail industry has been on a growth tra9ectory over the past few years. The industry
is e#pected to be worth /3 1.2 billion by $0$0. Af this, organized retail is e#pected
to grow at a rate of $% p.a. significant new trend emerging in retail sector is the
increase in sales during discount seasons. It has been observed over the past few
months, that sales numbers in discount seasons are significantly higher than at other
times. This is prompting retailers to start discounts earlier and have longer than usual
sale season.
nother crucial structural change is e#pected to come in the form of implementation
of +(I in multi-brand retail. The industry players are strongly in favour of entry of
foreign retailers into the country. This will help them in funding their operations and
e#pansion plans. The e#pertise brought in by the foreign retailers will also improve
the way the Indian retailers operate. It is e#pected to bring in more efficiency in the
supply chain functions of retailers. =owever, fear of loss of business for "irana salas
is still a cause of concern and is posing hurdles in +(I implementation across
country. Ironically, it has been more than a year since the government opened the
door for +(I in multi-brand retail. 5ut no international retailer has shown interest incoming to India yet. =urdles such as reCuirement of clearance from individual states,

(eloitte*. etailing has played a ma9or role the world over in increasing productivity
across a wide range of consumer goods and services. In the developed countries, the
organized retail industry accounts for almost 80% of the total retail trade. In contrast,
in India organized retail trade accounts for merely 8-10% of the total retail trade. This
highlights a lot of scope for further penetration of organized retail in India.

shopping on an average due to poor transport condition in India. This implies that
more number of retail stores have to be opened in a given area compared to merican

categories available to the consumer. The choices open to the consumer would not
be restricted to those available in at the store
