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


                                                               4

                           PREFACE

We are lucky that, we got the opportunity for making the project
report on “Comparative Study on Profitability Drivers of Indian Retail


                                                                       5
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.




                    Executive Summary




                                                                      6
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.




                                                                          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 "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." Moreover,
India recently topped the Nielsen Global Consumer Confidence study,
conducted by Nielsen, a market research company. The biannual
report revealed that Indians are "the most optimistic lot globally who
think that their country will be out of the economic recession in the
next twelve months."


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


                                                                           8
to them.

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.




                                                                            9

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.




                                                                        11
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.

                        PHASE-I




                                                                        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.




                                                                     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


                                                                      16
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.




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.




                                                                      17
 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.




         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.


                                                                          18
 The chance of biased response can’t be eliminated though all
      necessary steps were taken to avoid the same.

VISHAL MEGA MART




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

                                                                          22
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.

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




                                                                                         28
FACTS AND FINDINGS



                     29
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

Overview:



                                                                       30
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


                                                                          31
range should be such as the customer feel free to buy original cd’s.
Another point is 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.

      Types of Customer:

      In the Indian Retail Scenario Big Bazaar has a great success to create
      a revaluation. Basically they have differentiated their customers on
      the basis of needs of customers rather than their income level. Later

      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


                                                                           35

      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.




      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.

                            Inter-Department Customer Flow

      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.




                                                                                     36
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.

the valuation of average stock with the assumption details provided by

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.




                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


                                                                        40
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.




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.



                                                                         41
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.

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.



                                                                      42
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.




                                                                   43

                 FACTS AND FINDINGS
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.


                                                                                  49
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:
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.

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.

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.

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. PREFACE We are lucky that, we got the opportunity for making the project report on “Comparative Study on Profitability Drivers of Indian Retail 5
  • 6. 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. Executive Summary 6
  • 7. 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. 7
  • 8. 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 "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." Moreover, India recently topped the Nielsen Global Consumer Confidence study, conducted by Nielsen, a market research company. The biannual report revealed that Indians are "the most optimistic lot globally who think that their country will be out of the economic recession in the next twelve months." 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 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. 9

  • 11. 17. Having almost 1,20,000 shops, across the length and breadth of the country. 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. 11
  • 12. 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.

PHASE-I 14
  • 15. 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. 15
  • 16. 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 16
  • 17. 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. 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. 17
  • 18.  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. 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. 18
  • 19.  The chance of biased response can’t be eliminated though all necessary steps were taken to avoid the same. RESEARCH PROBLEM AND ITS RELEVANCE RESEARCH PROBLEM: Determine the profitability drivers on the basis of: (a) Customer flows. (b) Revenue per Customer. (c) Stocks value of the store. RELEVANCE OF THE RESEARCH: 19

  • 23. 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. 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: 23

The focus customer group is basically medium level income group of customers. 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.

To determine the above study we have considered the customers who are spending their money on purchase of products of the above said departments. Its revealed at the time of study that they have 10 cash counters and they are making bills of more than 280 bills per day per counter on the above said days. Value of Stock in the different departments: We have chosen 4 departments from Vishal Mega Mart and estimated the valuation of average stock with the assumption details provided by the branch operation stuffs.

The value of the stock in the garments department is relatively much higher than the others departments. The value of stock in winter season jumps to 18 to 20 crore and its 3times higher than others season as normally they are maintaining a stock of 6 crore in the others time. Value of the stock of the others departments: Value of t he St ock in Ot her s Depar t m ent 300000 250000 200000 150000 100000 50000 0 GIFTS DEPARTMENT CARDS DEPARTMENT MUSIC DEPARTMENT 26
  • 27. The value of the stock of the others departments are relatively lower than garments departments. The stock maintained in the gifts section, basically maintained for the high and medium level income customers. In the cards department the stock increases at the time of Christmas an New year eve as it’s a seasonal business according to the Vishal Mega Mart. Music department is consisting of Music, movie and game cd & dvd’s. Its found that the stock of game cd & dvd’s is higher than the others. Revenue generated by the different departments: To find out the profitability drivers we have compared the revenue generated by different departments on the basis of 2004-05 to 2008- 09. For this study we have considered average revenue of a high customer flow day by the all income level customers. DEPARTMENT 2004-05 2008-09 GARMENTS DEPARTMENT 50000 180000 27

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 changing customer preferences towards information technology enabled services like SMS, MMS & E-mails. 28
  • 30. 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 Overview: 30
  • 31. 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 31
  • 32. range should be such as the customer feel free to buy original cd’s. Another point is 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. 32
  • 34. Pantaloon Retail (India) Limited, is India’s leading retailer that operates multiple retail formats in both the value and lifestyle segment of the Indian consumer marker.

Pantaloon Retail is the flagship company of Future Group, a business group catering to the entire Indian consumption space. 34
  • 35. ANALYSIS OF THE STUDY Types of Customer: In the Indian Retail Scenario Big Bazaar has a great success to create a revaluation. Basically they have differentiated their customers on the basis of needs of customers rather than their income level. Later on we will analyze these aspects. Here we are analyzing which income level of customers are generally tend to purchase the products in Big Bazaar department wise: PERCENTAGE OF CUSTOMER FLOWS DEPARTMENT WISE GARMENT GIFTS MUSIC CARDS TYPES OF CUSTOMER SECTION SECTION SECTION SECTION HIGH GRADE INCOME LEVEL 10% 15% 50% 7% MEDIUM GRADE INCOME LEVEL 50% 55% 40% 53% AVERAGE GDARE INCOME LEVEL 40% 30% 10% 40% TYPES OF CUSTOMER DEPARTMENT WISE 100% 80% 60% AVERAGE GDARE INCOME LEVEL MEDIUM GRADE INCOME LEVEL 40% HIGH GRADE INCOME LEVEL 20% 0% GARMENT GIFTS MUSIC CARDS SECTION SECTION SECTION SECTION From the above details its found that the in the Garment section they are targeting the middle and average level of customers.

  • 36. 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. 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. Inter-Department Customer Flow DEPARTMENT Number of Customer GARMENTS DEPARTMENT 1600 GIFTS DEPARTMENT 600 CARDS DEPARTMENT 250 MUSIC DEPARTMENT 800 INTER-DEPARTMENT CUSTOMER FLOW MUSIC DEPARTMENT CARDS DEPARTMENT GIFTS DEPARTMENT GARMENTS DEPARTMENT 0 200 400 600 800 1000 1200 1400 1600 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. 36

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. 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 40
  • 41. 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. 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. 41
  • 42. 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. 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. 42
  • 43. 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. 43

Whatever the stock is quite efficient to satisfy their potential customers. 49
  • 50. 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: 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. 50
