PREFACE

We are lucky that, we got the opportunity for making the project report
on “Comparative Study on Profitability Drivers of Indian Retail Industry
and their formats” and “challenges to unorganized retails in the current
scenario”. For this study we visited the Malls, Hyper Markets and
Departmental Stores and in New Delhi and Noida and talk to various
unorganized retailers (Kirana stores) to study the problems defined. This
report is written account of what we learnt and experienced during the
survey. We wish, those going through it will not only find it readable but
also get as useful Information. The main limitation of our experience
was that as the above said organised retails industry is reserved with
corporate formalities, we had faced a little bit difficulties to fill the
questionnaire completely.




                                                                         5
Executive Summary


Retailing is emerging as a sunrise industry in India and its presently the
largest employer after agriculture. In the year 2004, the size of Indian
organized retail industry was Rs 28,000 Crores, which was only 3% of
the total retailing market.


The sunrise of the organised retailers in India creates a major turn in
the retail industry. Top major organised retail players are increasing
their market share day by day. Their main focus is based on FMCG and
consumer durables. With modernization, Indian culture is aping the
western dressing sense and lifestyle and these techniques is promoting
by the Retailers and by this they are generating a remarkable revenue
from the Indian consumers.




                                                                          6
Today’s Retail in India
Comprised of organized and traditional retail formats, Indian Retail
market is estimated to be worth US$ 511 billion, and is poised to grow
to US$ 833 billion by 2013. The organised retail that currently accounts
for less than 5 per cent of the total retail market is expected to register
a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 40 per cent and swell to US$
107 billion by 2013.

A report by global consultancy firm, AT Kearney said quot;The consumer
spending in India has increased by an impressive 75 per cent in the last
four years and will quadruple in the next 20 years.quot; Moreover, India
recently topped the Nielsen Global Consumer Confidence study,
conducted by Nielsen, a market research company. The biannual report
revealed that Indians are quot;the most optimistic lot globally who think that
their country will be out of the economic recession in the next twelve
months.quot;


However the size of Organised Retail in India will exceed US$22bn mark
from current level of about US$4bn with its space requirement touching
over 220mn sq. ft., by 2010, according to The Associated Chambers of
Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM). In a Paper brought out
by ASSOCHAM on `Retail Scenario in India and Its Related Issues’, it
has been stated that approx. 40mn sq. ft. is currently generating a
business of about US$4bn in organized retail.


India’s vast middle-class and its almost untapped retail industry are key
attractions for global retail giants wanting to enter newer markets and
India provides for the ideal locations. Since, Delhi and its suburbs have
so far seen the growth of 100 bigger and smaller malls, roughly 600
new malls are coming up in other metropolis and large townships in
which less than 35% of retail business is going to be transacted.

It is seen that over 1000 malls are in the pipelines for smaller townships
in which the retail sector is projected to grow at over 60% because of
ample availability of land and increased purchasing power of the folks
living in those areas because of increased economic activities. Naturally,
the large players will prefer to go there and put up their shops by
sourcing their supplies from the places convenient to them.



                                                                          7
Some of the key areas in which retail boom will prevail in towns beyond
metros and even large cities will include food items, FMCG products,
grocery, sportswear, outerwear, tailored clothing, eyewear, watches,
footwear and accessories and the like. The retail business that will pre-
dominantly stay with malls put up in metros and large cities will include
apparel, pharmaceuticals, luxury goods and consumer durables.

Changes should be brought about in Agricultural Produce Marketing
Committee (APMC) Act (a key contributor to the large number of
intermediaries) such as the introduction of contract farming and allowing
direct procurement from farmers by retail owners so that a direct chain
is established between the user and farmers for their equal benefits. It
also highlights, pointing out that even in the case of non-agricultural
products such as apparel, FMCG and general merchandise, the situation
is far from ideal.

The key cause for inefficiency is the poor integration between the
retailer and supplier. None of the retailers, in view of ASSOCHAM has so
far an automated system for information exchange with their suppliers.
In developed countries, retailers practice Vendor Management Inventory
(VMI) systems, where the supplier has access to the point of sales data
of the retailer and plans automatic replenishments responding to the
stocks available at the retailer.




                                                                            8

Formats in Indian Organized Retail Sector

1. Supermarkets: A supermarket, also called a grocery store is a self-
service store offering a wide variety of food and household merchandise,
organized into departments. It is larger in size and has a wider selection
than a traditional grocery store and it is smaller than a hypermarket or
superstore.

2. Hypermarkets: A hypermarket is a superstore which combines a
supermarket and a department store. The result is a very large retail
facility which carries an enormous range of products under one roof,
including full lines of groceries and general merchandise. In theory,
hypermarkets allow customers to satisfy all their routine weekly
shopping needs in one trip.

3. Department Stores: A department store is a retail establishment
which specializes in satisfying a wide range of the consumer's personal
and residential durable goods product needs; and at the same time
offering the consumer a choice multiple merchandise lines, at variable
price points, in all product categories. Department stores usually sell
products including apparel, furniture, appliances, electronics, and
additionally select other lines of products such as paint, hardware,
toiletries, cosmetics, photographic equipment, jewelery, toys, and
sporting goods. Certain department stores are further classified as
discount department stores. Discount department stores commonly
have central customer checkout areas, generally in the front area of the
store. Department stores are usually part of a retail chain of many
stores situated around a country or several countries.


4. Shopping malls: A shopping mall or shopping centre is a building or
set of buildings which contain retail units, with interconnecting walkways
enabling visitors to easily walk from unit to unit.

5. Specialty Chains: A Specialty Chains is numbers stores which are
specialized in a specific range of merchandise and related items. Most
stores have an extensive width and depth of stock in the item that they
specify in and provide high levels of service and expertise. They differ
from department stores and supermarkets which carry a wide range of
merchandise.

                                                                        12
PHASE-I




          13
SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The scope of my study restricts itself to analyze the organised retailer’s
profitability drivers on the basis of Garments, Gifts, Cards and Music
Department where as in the recent trend its seen that the key players in
this Industry are more emphasizing on the Garments, Personal
Grooming, Home furnishings, Life style and Footwear Departments in
their Stores.




                                                                       14
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

This chapter describes the methodology of the study. This project is
based on information collected from primary sources. After the detailed
study, an attempt has been made to present comprehensive analysis of
four major organised retailers. The data had been used to cover various
aspects like inter-departmental customer flows, revenue per customer
and value of the stock in the various departments. In collecting requisite
data and information regarding the topic selected, we went to the Vishal
Mega Mart, Life Style, and Big Bazaar of New Delhi and Noida and
collected the data.



Research design:
The study is based on descriptive research design because the data
were collected to reveal accurate descriptions of variables related to the
decisions being faced, without demonstrating that some relationship
exists between variables. For the purpose of present study a related
sample of stores were selected on the basis of convenience.



Sample Size and Design:
A sample of 4 stores was taken on the basis of convenience.



Research Period:
Research work is only carried for 1 week.




                                                                        15
Research Instrument:
This work is carried out through self-administered questionnaires. The
questions included were close ended with Ordinal-polytomous response
scale.



Data Collection:
The data, which is collected for the purpose of study, is divided into 2
bases:


    Primary Source: The primary data comprises information
         survey of “Comparative Study on Profitability Drivers of
         India’s Retail Industry”. The data has been collected directly
         from respondent with the help of structured questionnaires.


    Secondary Source: The secondary data was collected from
         internet and references from Library and various journals on retail
         industry.



Data Analysis:
The data is analyzed on the basis of suitable tables by using
mathematical techniques. The technique that we have used is bar
graphs, pie charts, with MS-EXCEL and SPSS.




                                                                         16
LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

In attempt to make this project authentic and reliable, every possible
aspect of the topic was kept in mind. Nevertheless, despite of fact
constraints were at play during the formulation of this project. The main
limitations are as follows:


    Due to limitation of time only few retail stores are taken into
      consideration of this study. So the sample of retailers was not
      enough to generalize the findings of the study.


    The main source of data for the study was primary data with the
      help of self-administered questionnaires. Hence, the chances of
      unbiased information are less.


    Concern person from the organised retail stores were hesitant to
      disclose the true facts as the data related to strategic secrets.


    The chance of biased response can’t be eliminated though all
      necessary steps were taken to avoid the same.




                                                                          17

VISHAL MEGA MART

                   20
What started as a humble one store enterprise in 1986 in Kolkata is
today a conglomerate encompassing 183 showrooms in 110 cities / 24
states. India’s first hyper-market has also been opened for the Indian
consumer by Vishal. Situated in the national capital Delhi this store
boasts of the singe largest collection of goods and commodities sold
under one roof in India.

The group’s philosophy is integration and towards this end has initiated
backward integration in the field of high fashion by setting up a state of
the art manufacturing facility to support its retail endeavors.

Vishal is one of fastest growing retailing groups in India. Its outlets
cater to almost all price ranges. The showrooms have over 70,000
products range which fulfills all your household needs, and can be
catered to under one roof. It is covering about 29, 90, 146 sq. ft. in 24
states across India. Each store gives you international quality goods and
prices hard to match. The cost benefits that is derived from the large
central purchase of goods and services is passed on to the consumer.

There are three classes of consumers the lower class is restricted only to
unorganized retail, upper class consumers are limited and scattered.
According to the Vishal Retailing Strategy, they are targeting middle
class as it is the largest consumer base in India and can be sold off then
in large volumes because with the increasing purchasing power the
middle class is shifting towards organized retail.

The group had a turnover of Rs. 1463.12 million for fiscal 2005, under
the dynamic leadership of Mr.Ram Chandra Agarwal . The group had a
turnover of Rs 2884.43 million for fiscal 2006 and Rs. 6026.53 million
for fiscal 2007.




                                                                         21
ANALYSIS OF THE STUDY



    Types of Customer:

    There are three types of consumer in the Indian retail market. Vishal
    mega mart is a firm believer of that the Middle class and upper middle
    class are the potential customer in their product categories.

    Here we are analyzing which income level of customers are generally
    tend to purchase the products department wise:

    From the above details its found that the customer flows in the garment
    section is relatively high rather than the other sections. The focus
    customer group is basically medium level income group of customers.

    Flow of customers in different departments:



                                                                             22
Here we have analyzed the flow of customers per day basis. For this
reason we have studied customer flows on an average of high customer
flow days.

From the above study its revealed that at the time of inception of the
organised retail in India in the year of 2004-05, only the high grade and
upper medium grade income level customers were tends to go to the
retails. So the maximum portion of revenues generated from these two
groups only.


In the case of garments, gifts and music departments as the stock is
increased, the revenue is also increased with the market demand study
of the year of 2004-05 to
2008-09. and also its seen that the product category in the gifts and
music department is relatively changing with the increasing demand of
new innovated products.


A measurable changes found in the cards department is that the
revenues as well as the stock is decreasing day by day because of



                                                                                        26
changing customer preferences towards information technology enabled
services like SMS, MMS & E-mails.




                FACTS AND FINDINGS

                                                                  27
From the above analysis its found that the average customers in the all
departments are the Middle Grade income level customers as Vishal is
mainly focusing in this segment of customers.




Garment Department

Overview:
Product lines and the quality of the products in the Garment Section are
basically for the medium and average grade income level people and
price range in this section is averagely lies between Rs.250 to 600.

Findings:
In the garment section we have found that products categories are not
focusing the high grade income level customers as the brand
consciousness not presents in the floors. The high grade income level
people are very conscious about the brand that they are using. Basically
they are very conscious about the brand rather than the quality which
isn’t present in this department.

Suggestions:
Vishal is strategically targeting the middle class customer but there is
also a rash of high grade income level customers in their stores. They
should focus on this aspect that they can turn this mob into potential
customer by introducing a various range of high class products in the
garment department.




Gifts Department



                                                                           28
Overview:
Product lines and the quality of the products in the Gifts Section are
basically for the high and medium grade income level people and price
range in this section is averagely lies between Rs.500 to 800.

Findings:
In the gifts section we have found that stock of gift items is very low
and also products categories are not focusing to low grade income level
customers and the gifts department is referred to high class products.

Suggestions:
They should focus on this aspect by introducing more stocks and also a
lower price range products in the gifts section so that they can also
generate revenue from lower grade income level customers.




Music Department

Overview:
Music section consist of Music CD’s, Game CD & DVD’s and also Movie
DVD’s. Product lines and the quality of the products in the Music Section
are basically for the high and medium grade income level people and
price range in this section is averagely lies between Rs.150 to 500.

Findings:
In the Music section we have found that they are mainly focusing on the
Game CD’s and DVD’s and also the price range is also high. Again the
collection of game cd and dvd’s is considerable but in the case of Indian
Music CD’s the stock level is not also upto the customer’s satisfactory
level.




Suggestions:
Vishal should concentrate on that the music industry is passing through
a high competitive market with piracy world so the price range should
be such as the customer feel free to buy original cd’s. Another point is


                                                                         29
that there should be a balance between the stock of their product lines
in the music department.




Cards Department

Overview:
In the Indian scenario cards are not very popular and a seasonal
business according to the floor managers and management of the store.
Also the demand is decreasing day by day with the increase of ITES.

Findings:
In Vishal’s prospect we have found that it’s a seasonal business and
they only give an emphasized focus at the time of Christmas Day and
New Year. Also the high grade income level people tends to go
specialized cards stores so only a few numbers of middle and average
income level customers who come to others departments sometimes
seek for the cards.

Suggestions:
Though the demand of cards decreasing day by day but there are also
some others events rather than the 25th & and 31st eve. So a step can
be taken by introducing low range of cards attached with the gifts
section to greet the wishes all the time.

       From the above details its found that the in the Garment section they
       are targeting the middle and average level of customers. They are not
       promoting any major brands and they have their own brand towards the
       major brands in garments industry. Flow of high level of customers in
       music section is better than the others departments. Generally upper
       medium and medium class and also a good percentage of average
       income level customer visits their all departments.




                                                                             33
Flow of customers in different departments:

      Here we have analyzed the flow of customers per day basis. For this
      reason we have studied customer flows on an average of high customer
      flow days.

      With the study of customer flow in Big Bazaar on an average of high
      customer flow day we came to know that it’s basically lies between
      2000-2500 customers per day. Here we are taking the customers who
      are generating revenues for these departments.

      From the above figures its executed that flow of customer in garment
      departments is relatively higher than the others departments. One
      significant difference is noted from the others retail is that they have
      placed their music department at the front of cash counters and
      introduced low range of music cds’ and game dvd’s for the all category
      customers which increased customer the flow in the music department.




                                                                                    34

The garment section is divided into Men, women and kids section. They
have also a discount section only for the garments. In this section they
are selling the old or rejected stocks of major brands at a 40-50 percent
discount rate. The value of stock in garment is being overflowed at the
time of winter season. Winter garments are costlier than the others
seasons and tends to double the value of stock. Normally they are
maintain a stock value of 16.3 to 17 crore value of stock bus it increase
at the time winter to more than 40 crore.

From the above study its revealed that at the time of inception of the
organised retail in India in the year of 2004-05, only the high grade and
upper medium grade income level customers were tends to go to the retails.
So the maximum portion of revenues generated from these two groups only
in the year of 2004-05.

The change in revenue of garment department and in gifts department from
the year 2004-05 to 2008-09 is significant because Big Bazaar is shifted
products towards the own manufactured brands and they became successful
to establish their own brands in the garment retail industry.
A measurable changes found in the cards department is that the revenues as
well as the stock is decreasing day by day because of changing customer
preferences towards information technology enabled services like SMS, MMS
& E-mails.




                                                                                  37
FACTS AND FINDINGS
From the above analysis its found that the average customers in the all
departments are the all income level people in Big Bazaar. Meanwhile
their main customer base is upper middle, middle and average level
income level customers.


Garment Department

Overview:
In Garment department the products are mainly their own brands an
price ranges lies between Rs.99 to Rs.800 averagely which is very
reasonable for the middle class,
average and also low level income group peoples. The stock in this
section is fair to satisfy its customer needs and attracts window
shoppers to become a potential customer.

Findings:
The main facts that we have found in the garment section is that Big
Bazaar mainly focusing on the low range of products with their own
brands. All the times they are giving special discounts on all the
garments products. They have adopted tricks like “Buy 2 get 3”, Buy 3
get 5” which looks like as if you buy 2 will get more 3 but the actual fact
is that if you buy 2 products will get 1 free as total you will get 3. It’s a
very strategic and attractive offer specially adopted by Big Bazaar. They
have also a section named ‘LOOT MART’ in the garments department. In
this section they are selling the branded high-class garments at a high
discount rate of 50 to 60 percent.

Suggestions:
After discussing all the profit factors it can be suggest that as they have
a good high income level customer flow in the others departments like
in the furniture and grocery department they can introduce a wider
range of branded products in the garment section as this income is
conscious about the brand that they are using.




                                                                           38
Gifts Department

Overview:
Gifts department is consisting of various product categories from home
furnishing products to personal using products. According to Big Bazaar
now a days no one can define which section should be referred as a gifts
section. Customer preference is changing day by day with the increased
product categories.


Findings:
In Big Bazaar we have found that they are also referring home
furnishing products, personal care and low range electronic products as
gift products and basically it depends on the customers need and choice.
The whole gift section is able to satisfy the all level of income groups as
they have a large collection of product categories but with a limited
stock of same products. A noted strategy is taken in the gifts
department is that they are selling a large varieties of products with a
limited stock which helps them to implement a good stock turn over
ratio and generating good revenue from this department.

Suggestions:
Big Bazaar can focus on the stocks of the gifts though the stock of
varieties is remarkable but within the same category the stock is not
appreciatable.




Music Department

Overview:
Music section consist of Music CD’s, Game CD & DVD’s and also Movie
DVD’s.

Findings:
Big Bazaar has introduced very low range cd & dvd’s like ‘Moserbaer’
music and movie cd-dvd’s and price range lies in between Rs.30 to 100.
Basically they are gaining a competitive business at the age of piracy
products in this industry. Also they have a very good collection in games
cd-dvd category at a low price range of Rs.100 to 200 whereas if
anyone go to the open market the average price range is Rs.300 to 400
for the copyright product.


                                                                         39
Suggestions:
In the music its found that the collection of movie cd’s and educational
cd’s is low than the music and games cds. They are emphasizing on the
low price mp3 and game cds where as there is also a demand for
educational and movies cd-dvd’s.




Cards Department

Overview:
In the Indian scenario cards are not very popular and a seasonal
business according to the floor managers and management of the store.
Also the demand is decreasing day by day with the increase of
information technology enable services.

Findings:
We have found that it’s a seasonal business and they only give focus at
the time of Christmas Day and New Year. Also the high grade income
level people tends to go specialized cards stores so only a few numbers
of middle and average income level customers who come to others
departments sometimes seek for the cards.

Suggestions:
Though the demand of cards decreasing day by day but there are also
some others events rather than the 25th & and 31st eve. So a step can
be taken by introducing low range of cards attached with the gifts
section to greet the wishes all the time.

                  FACTS AND FINDINGS

                                                                                       46
From the above analysis its found that the average customers in the all
departments are basically high grade income level customers. All the
products ranges in the both departments significantly refers to premium
customers.


Garment Department

Overview:
In Garment department the products are mainly the major international
readymade brands and price ranges lies between Rs.800 to Rs.2000
averagely which is meant for a few Indians customers.

Findings:
The products exclusively for a certain income level customers. Maximum
products are unreachable for the medium and average income level
peoples. Whatever the stock is quite efficient to satisfy their potential
customers.

Suggestions:
They are focusing a very few Indian customers and the most of the
Indian consumers can’t afford this price ranges. So if they want to
increase their market share in the Indian retail Industry they should
introduce such product ranges also which can be affordable for the
medium level income groups and the main customer in the retail
industry lies within it.


Gifts Department

Overview:
Gifts department is consisting of various product categories from home
furnishing products to personal grooming products.

Findings:
In the Lifestyle we have found a wider range of glass made and metal
products which are exclusive and also the quality isn’t upto the price
levels. Whatever, the stock is sufficient to satisfy its customers but the
price range is found very high as a gift product in this department.



Suggestions:



                                                                             47
Again the Indian retail industry is targeting the medium level income
group people as its increasing day by day but the products in the
Lifestyle store is meant only for the high class consumers which is very
low in population in India. Also an important point is noted that though
the volume is sufficient but the varieties in product categories as a gift
isn’t sufficient.




                                                                         48

 Vishal Mega Mart: They are not focusing on the gifts stock for the
 result customer flow and revenue from this section is very low and no
 point is gaining for the customer satisfactory level.

 Life Style: A very large investment in the gifts section is found at the
 time of study. They are basically emphasizing on introduction of
 personal grooming products and home furnishing products in the gifts
 section. This department is solely for the upper class consumers and
 customer satisfactory level is remarkable.

 Big Bazaar: A wider range of products is found in gifts section for the
 all income level people. Though the variety in the product categories is
 high but the volume of stock in the same product is low. How ever
 customers are happy with the large number of collection of gifts items.

IN 2004-05:
At the time of sunrise of organised retail industry in India, the scenario
was not been like present days. At that time it was a very new concept
of marketing for the Indian consumers. Only the high class level and a
few upper medium class income group customers were visiting to those
retail markets. The perception of middle and lower class peoples was
that these stores had over-valued their products and to some extent it
was right also.

IN 2008-09:
Now a days shopping in the retail stores is a very common things.
Peoples are habituated to go into the retails in the weekends. Day by
day the organised retailers are becoming stronger to attract customers.
Hyper- markets like Vishal mega mart, Big Bazaar, Home town have the
stock to fulfill all the needs of customers from alpine to elephant.




On the basis of Revenue per customer:

 Vishal Mega Mart: Though the revenue per customer of the Vishal
 mega Mart increased from 2004-05 to 2008-09 but the revenue per
 customer is significantly low than others. As their main customer base is
 medium and average income group customers and also customer flow is
 low so it generates significantly low revenue per customer.

 Life Style: The customer flows in this store is basically refers to the
 high and upper medium income level customers and though their
 customer flow is lower but their return on investment is high so it helps
 to earn a high income per customer.




 Big Bazaar: They are focusing on the all income level customers with a
 high customer flows per day and have a base of brand consciousness
 amongst the customer which’s helping them to increase their revenue
 per customer. Also there is a major contribution of the others
 departments like grocery and vegetables department towards the per
 customer revenue.

  • 4. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT First of all we would like to thank Mrs. Ambika Rathi (Faculty Member) for giving us the opportunity to do the project on comparative study on “Indian organised Retail Industry and their formats” and “threats to unorganized retails in the current scenario in India.” Her extended views on the Indian Retail Industry help us with assistance, support and council without, which this project would not have been materialized. We would also like to express our special thanks to all the Staffs of the Vishal Mega Mart, Big Bazaar, Life Style and Pantaloon Retails and also the various owners of Kirana Stores for their excellent support and co- ordination without which this study could not be fulfilled. Thanks GROUP-8 H-SECTION. Asia Pacific Institute of Management Studies. 4
  • 5. PREFACE We are lucky that, we got the opportunity for making the project report on “Comparative Study on Profitability Drivers of Indian Retail Industry and their formats” and “challenges to unorganized retails in the current scenario”. For this study we visited the Malls, Hyper Markets and Departmental Stores and in New Delhi and Noida and talk to various unorganized retailers (Kirana stores) to study the problems defined. This report is written account of what we learnt and experienced during the survey. We wish, those going through it will not only find it readable but also get as useful Information. The main limitation of our experience was that as the above said organised retails industry is reserved with corporate formalities, we had faced a little bit difficulties to fill the questionnaire completely. 5
  • 6. Executive Summary Retailing is emerging as a sunrise industry in India and its presently the largest employer after agriculture. In the year 2004, the size of Indian organized retail industry was Rs 28,000 Crores, which was only 3% of the total retailing market. The sunrise of the organised retailers in India creates a major turn in the retail industry. Top major organised retail players are increasing their market share day by day. Their main focus is based on FMCG and consumer durables. With modernization, Indian culture is aping the western dressing sense and lifestyle and these techniques is promoting by the Retailers and by this they are generating a remarkable revenue from the Indian consumers. 6
  • 7. Today’s Retail in India Comprised of organized and traditional retail formats, Indian Retail market is estimated to be worth US$ 511 billion, and is poised to grow to US$ 833 billion by 2013. The organised retail that currently accounts for less than 5 per cent of the total retail market is expected to register a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 40 per cent and swell to US$ 107 billion by 2013. A report by global consultancy firm, AT Kearney said quot;The consumer spending in India has increased by an impressive 75 per cent in the last four years and will quadruple in the next 20 years.quot; Moreover, India recently topped the Nielsen Global Consumer Confidence study, conducted by Nielsen, a market research company. The biannual report revealed that Indians are quot;the most optimistic lot globally who think that their country will be out of the economic recession in the next twelve months.quot; However the size of Organised Retail in India will exceed US$22bn mark from current level of about US$4bn with its space requirement touching over 220mn sq. ft., by 2010, according to The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM). In a Paper brought out by ASSOCHAM on `Retail Scenario in India and Its Related Issues’, it has been stated that approx. 40mn sq. ft. is currently generating a business of about US$4bn in organized retail. India’s vast middle-class and its almost untapped retail industry are key attractions for global retail giants wanting to enter newer markets and India provides for the ideal locations. Since, Delhi and its suburbs have so far seen the growth of 100 bigger and smaller malls, roughly 600 new malls are coming up in other metropolis and large townships in which less than 35% of retail business is going to be transacted. It is seen that over 1000 malls are in the pipelines for smaller townships in which the retail sector is projected to grow at over 60% because of ample availability of land and increased purchasing power of the folks living in those areas because of increased economic activities. Naturally, the large players will prefer to go there and put up their shops by sourcing their supplies from the places convenient to them. 7
  • 8. Some of the key areas in which retail boom will prevail in towns beyond metros and even large cities will include food items, FMCG products, grocery, sportswear, outerwear, tailored clothing, eyewear, watches, footwear and accessories and the like. The retail business that will pre- dominantly stay with malls put up in metros and large cities will include apparel, pharmaceuticals, luxury goods and consumer durables. Changes should be brought about in Agricultural Produce Marketing Committee (APMC) Act (a key contributor to the large number of intermediaries) such as the introduction of contract farming and allowing direct procurement from farmers by retail owners so that a direct chain is established between the user and farmers for their equal benefits. It also highlights, pointing out that even in the case of non-agricultural products such as apparel, FMCG and general merchandise, the situation is far from ideal. The key cause for inefficiency is the poor integration between the retailer and supplier. None of the retailers, in view of ASSOCHAM has so far an automated system for information exchange with their suppliers. In developed countries, retailers practice Vendor Management Inventory (VMI) systems, where the supplier has access to the point of sales data of the retailer and plans automatic replenishments responding to the stocks available at the retailer. 8

  • 10. Formats in Indian Organized Retail Sector 1. Supermarkets: A supermarket, also called a grocery store is a self- service store offering a wide variety of food and household merchandise, organized into departments. It is larger in size and has a wider selection than a traditional grocery store and it is smaller than a hypermarket or superstore. 2. Hypermarkets: A hypermarket is a superstore which combines a supermarket and a department store. The result is a very large retail facility which carries an enormous range of products under one roof, including full lines of groceries and general merchandise. In theory, hypermarkets allow customers to satisfy all their routine weekly shopping needs in one trip. 3. Department Stores: A department store is a retail establishment which specializes in satisfying a wide range of the consumer's personal and residential durable goods product needs; and at the same time offering the consumer a choice multiple merchandise lines, at variable price points, in all product categories. Department stores usually sell products including apparel, furniture, appliances, electronics, and additionally select other lines of products such as paint, hardware, toiletries, cosmetics, photographic equipment, jewelery, toys, and sporting goods. Certain department stores are further classified as discount department stores. Discount department stores commonly have central customer checkout areas, generally in the front area of the store. Department stores are usually part of a retail chain of many stores situated around a country or several countries. 4. Shopping malls: A shopping mall or shopping centre is a building or set of buildings which contain retail units, with interconnecting walkways enabling visitors to easily walk from unit to unit. 5. Specialty Chains: A Specialty Chains is numbers stores which are specialized in a specific range of merchandise and related items. Most stores have an extensive width and depth of stock in the item that they specify in and provide high levels of service and expertise. They differ from department stores and supermarkets which carry a wide range of merchandise. 10

  • 13. PHASE-I 13
  • 14. SCOPE OF THE STUDY The scope of my study restricts itself to analyze the organised retailer’s profitability drivers on the basis of Garments, Gifts, Cards and Music Department where as in the recent trend its seen that the key players in this Industry are more emphasizing on the Garments, Personal Grooming, Home furnishings, Life style and Footwear Departments in their Stores. 14
  • 15. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY This chapter describes the methodology of the study. This project is based on information collected from primary sources. After the detailed study, an attempt has been made to present comprehensive analysis of four major organised retailers. The data had been used to cover various aspects like inter-departmental customer flows, revenue per customer and value of the stock in the various departments. In collecting requisite data and information regarding the topic selected, we went to the Vishal Mega Mart, Life Style, and Big Bazaar of New Delhi and Noida and collected the data. Research design: The study is based on descriptive research design because the data were collected to reveal accurate descriptions of variables related to the decisions being faced, without demonstrating that some relationship exists between variables. For the purpose of present study a related sample of stores were selected on the basis of convenience. Sample Size and Design: A sample of 4 stores was taken on the basis of convenience. Research Period: Research work is only carried for 1 week. 15
  • 16. Research Instrument: This work is carried out through self-administered questionnaires. The questions included were close ended with Ordinal-polytomous response scale. Data Collection: The data, which is collected for the purpose of study, is divided into 2 bases:  Primary Source: The primary data comprises information survey of “Comparative Study on Profitability Drivers of India’s Retail Industry”. The data has been collected directly from respondent with the help of structured questionnaires.  Secondary Source: The secondary data was collected from internet and references from Library and various journals on retail industry. Data Analysis: The data is analyzed on the basis of suitable tables by using mathematical techniques. The technique that we have used is bar graphs, pie charts, with MS-EXCEL and SPSS. 16
  • 17. LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY In attempt to make this project authentic and reliable, every possible aspect of the topic was kept in mind. Nevertheless, despite of fact constraints were at play during the formulation of this project. The main limitations are as follows:  Due to limitation of time only few retail stores are taken into consideration of this study. So the sample of retailers was not enough to generalize the findings of the study.  The main source of data for the study was primary data with the help of self-administered questionnaires. Hence, the chances of unbiased information are less.  Concern person from the organised retail stores were hesitant to disclose the true facts as the data related to strategic secrets.  The chance of biased response can’t be eliminated though all necessary steps were taken to avoid the same. 17
  • 18. RESEARCH PROBLEM AND ITS RELEVANCE RESEARCH PROBLEM: Determine the profitability drivers on the basis of: (a) Customer flows. (b)Revenue per Customer. Stocks value of the store. (c) RELEVANCE OF THE RESEARCH: Understand the value of Indian organised retail Industry on the basis of how customer flow generates the revenue related to its value of stock and analyze the ways to improve each of three dimensions. 18
  • 19. Name of the Stores The study is being conducted on: (i) Vishal Mega Mart, Sarita Vihar. (ii) Big Bazaar, Noida. (iii) Lifestyle International, Noida. Various unorganized retailers in Delhi. (iv) (v) The Great India Place, Noida. 19
  • 21. What started as a humble one store enterprise in 1986 in Kolkata is today a conglomerate encompassing 183 showrooms in 110 cities / 24 states. India’s first hyper-market has also been opened for the Indian consumer by Vishal. Situated in the national capital Delhi this store boasts of the singe largest collection of goods and commodities sold under one roof in India. The group’s philosophy is integration and towards this end has initiated backward integration in the field of high fashion by setting up a state of the art manufacturing facility to support its retail endeavors. Vishal is one of fastest growing retailing groups in India. Its outlets cater to almost all price ranges. The showrooms have over 70,000 products range which fulfills all your household needs, and can be catered to under one roof. It is covering about 29, 90, 146 sq. ft. in 24 states across India. Each store gives you international quality goods and prices hard to match. The cost benefits that is derived from the large central purchase of goods and services is passed on to the consumer. There are three classes of consumers the lower class is restricted only to unorganized retail, upper class consumers are limited and scattered. According to the Vishal Retailing Strategy, they are targeting middle class as it is the largest consumer base in India and can be sold off then in large volumes because with the increasing purchasing power the middle class is shifting towards organized retail. The group had a turnover of Rs. 1463.12 million for fiscal 2005, under the dynamic leadership of Mr.Ram Chandra Agarwal . The group had a turnover of Rs 2884.43 million for fiscal 2006 and Rs. 6026.53 million for fiscal 2007. 21

  • 28. From the above analysis its found that the average customers in the all departments are the Middle Grade income level customers as Vishal is mainly focusing in this segment of customers. Garment Department Overview: Product lines and the quality of the products in the Garment Section are basically for the medium and average grade income level people and price range in this section is averagely lies between Rs.250 to 600. Findings: In the garment section we have found that products categories are not focusing the high grade income level customers as the brand consciousness not presents in the floors. The high grade income level people are very conscious about the brand that they are using. Basically they are very conscious about the brand rather than the quality which isn’t present in this department. Suggestions: Vishal is strategically targeting the middle class customer but there is also a rash of high grade income level customers in their stores. They should focus on this aspect that they can turn this mob into potential customer by introducing a various range of high class products in the garment department. Gifts Department 28
  • 29. Overview: Product lines and the quality of the products in the Gifts Section are basically for the high and medium grade income level people and price range in this section is averagely lies between Rs.500 to 800. Findings: In the gifts section we have found that stock of gift items is very low and also products categories are not focusing to low grade income level customers and the gifts department is referred to high class products. Suggestions: They should focus on this aspect by introducing more stocks and also a lower price range products in the gifts section so that they can also generate revenue from lower grade income level customers. Music Department Overview: Music section consist of Music CD’s, Game CD & DVD’s and also Movie DVD’s. Product lines and the quality of the products in the Music Section are basically for the high and medium grade income level people and price range in this section is averagely lies between Rs.150 to 500. Findings: In the Music section we have found that they are mainly focusing on the Game CD’s and DVD’s and also the price range is also high. Again the collection of game cd and dvd’s is considerable but in the case of Indian Music CD’s the stock level is not also upto the customer’s satisfactory level. Suggestions: Vishal should concentrate on that the music industry is passing through a high competitive market with piracy world so the price range should be such as the customer feel free to buy original cd’s. Another point is 29
  • 30. that there should be a balance between the stock of their product lines in the music department. Cards Department Overview: In the Indian scenario cards are not very popular and a seasonal business according to the floor managers and management of the store. Also the demand is decreasing day by day with the increase of ITES. Findings: In Vishal’s prospect we have found that it’s a seasonal business and they only give an emphasized focus at the time of Christmas Day and New Year. Also the high grade income level people tends to go specialized cards stores so only a few numbers of middle and average income level customers who come to others departments sometimes seek for the cards. Suggestions: Though the demand of cards decreasing day by day but there are also some others events rather than the 25th & and 31st eve. So a step can be taken by introducing low range of cards attached with the gifts section to greet the wishes all the time. 30

The change in revenue of garment department and in gifts department from the year 2004-05 to 2008-09 is significant because Big Bazaar is shifted products towards the own manufactured brands and they became successful to establish their own brands in the garment retail industry.

It’s a very strategic and attractive offer specially adopted by Big Bazaar. They have also a section named ‘LOOT MART’ in the garments department. In this section they are selling the branded high-class garments at a high discount rate of 50 to 60 percent. Suggestions: After discussing all the profit factors it can be suggest that as they have a good high income level customer flow in the others departments like in the furniture and grocery department they can introduce a wider range of branded products in the garment section as this income is conscious about the brand that they are using. 38
  • 39. Gifts Department Overview: Gifts department is consisting of various product categories from home furnishing products to personal using products.
