and Hyderabad within a period of 22 days.
Started by Kishore Biyani, Big Bazaar was launched mainly as a
fashion format selling apparel, cosmetics, accessories and general
merchandise. Over the years, the retail chain has included in its
portfolio a wide range of products and services, ranging from
grocery to electronics.
The current retail formats of the Future Group include Big Bazaar,
Food Bazaar, Electronic Bazaar and Furniture Bazaar. According to
Kishore Biyani, the inspiration behind this entire retail format was
from Saravana Stores, a local store in T. Nagar, Chennai. Big Bazaar
is popularly known as the „Indian Walmart‟ today
