The Road To No Where

The road to no where: Subhiksha Retail 13 th February 2009

Views expressed hereby are mine . I formed these views initially through interactions with Subhiksha on business levels and later through follow ups of the newspaper reports and conversations with sources from the industry and employees at Subhiksha. This is a follow up on my earlier presentation “The Anatomy of a Bust: Subhiksha Retail” http://www.slideshare.net/Manas.Ganguly/the-anatomy-of-a-bust

Or so it would seem! In Other words, “That’s not BUSINESS! Where are the returns?”

Option 4: Option 1 + Option 2 ,[object Object],[object Object],In Other words “ More investments in a business, which was already struggling and not performing” “ HARDLY GOOD BUSINESS SENSE”
