PREFACE
I want to express my gratitude for the experience and practical knowledge
that I gained during the summer internship project at DIGIWORLD (An enterprise of
VIDEOCON group).It was my first experience when I went to the market not to buy
anything but to do the survey and to Study of Market Potential and Customer
Preferences at Mumbai with reference to DIGIWORLD . The basic need of this
survey is to interact with customers and employee. On first day I was nervous, but
because of the good image of the DIGIWORLD in the market the people reacted
positively.
For accomplishment of the project report I think about the conditions and
views and then I used to compose the whole thing on computer. In making the project
report theoretical knowledge was needed more than the practical which was given to
us by my professors in my institutes. In the market the experience relating to the
practical knowledge was very good which realized me about the real conditions of the
marketing.
The project flows logically consisting of market research, data collection
method and questionnaire. It hoped that the findings and the suggestions will help the
company, confidently to formulate its strategy in comparison to its competitors. I have
enjoyed my summer internship at DIGIWORLD and have learnt lots of new things,
which will be helpful to me during my work in any organization. I thank
DIGIWORLD for giving this opportunity at their office and being good to me all the
time.
I am please to work in this esteemed organization. I have tried my best to
make this report a reader friendly & also did my level best to fulfill the objective of
the summer training.
Lastly I am giving thanks to IMIS, BBSR family who gave me their
precious time to make project successful.

RetailingCustomer is King
A Customer is the most important visitor on our premises. He is not dependent on us.We are dependent on him. He is not an interruption on our work. He is the purpose of
it. He is not an outside of our business. He is a part of it and we are not doing him a
favour by servicing him. He is doing us a favour by giving us an opportunity to do
so.

outlets).
India has the highest number of outlets per capita in the world - widely spreadretail network but with the lowest per capita retail space (@ 2 sq. ft. per person)
Annual turnover of Wal-Mart (Sales in 2001 were $219 billion) is higher thanthe size of Indian retail industry. Almost 100 times more than the turnover of
HLL (India's largest FMCG Company).
Wal-Mart - over 4,800 stores (over 47 million square meters) where as none ofIndia's large format store (Spencers, Big Bazaar, Shoppers' Stop, Westside,
Lifestyle) can compare.
The Wal-Mart sales per hour of $22 million are incomparable to any retailer inthe world. Numbers of employees in Wal-Mart are about 1.3 million where as
the entire Indian retail industry employs about three million people.
One-day sales record at Wal-Mart (11/23/01) $1.25 billion - roughly two thirdof HLL's annual turnover.
Developed economies like the U.S. employ between 10 and 11 percent of theirworkforce in retailing (against 7 percent employed in India today).
60% of retailers in India feel that the multiple format approach will besuccessful here whereas in US 34 of the fastest-growing 50 retailers have just
one format

%).The stock-out levels among Indian retailers surveyed ranged from 5 to 15
percent.

after agriculture. Some economists say that Retailing is one of the pillars of the
economy in India, and some say it is gold mine of Indian economy. Retailing in its
present form started in the latter half of 20th century in USA and Europe. Retail
industry is divided into organized and unorganized sectors. Over 12 million outlets

families. Residents are well educated and holding jobs. Their monthly incomes are
ranging from 10,000-20,000 and above. They mostly prefer to buy their Consumer
Durables And Home Appliances from well established Brands and well known
electronic shops.
The factors which attract the respondents to an electronic shops are home delivery,
parking facilities, accepting debit/ credit cards, fast billing, booking counters,
customer service, courteous and friendly behavior and ambience.

2.Introduction to retailing

7/31/2019 project report on digiworld at mumbai
16/77
INTRODUCTION
The word retail has its origin in French word retaillierand means to cut a piece off
or tobreak bulk.The term Retailing is defined as All activities involved in selling
goods and services directly to final consumers for their personal and non-business
use. In simple terms, it implies a first-hand transaction with customer. Retailing
involves a direct interface with the customer and the coordination of business activities
from end to end right, from the concept or design stage of a product or offering, to its
delivery and post delivery service to the customer. The industry has contributed to the fastest
changing and dynamic industries in the world today.
Retailing, it is an emerging trend in the India and Mubai is far ahead behind which is also
witnessing the stupendous growth and opportunities presented by this sector. Many
institutions- Manufacturing, Wholesalers and retailers do retailing, but most retailing is
done by Retailers. A business wholesales come from primarily from retailing. It is a proven
fact that in India the retail industry has become the 2nd largest employer after agriculture.
Indian retail sector is in boom period and many reasons are contributing to it.
The retail scenario in India is unique. Much of it is in the unorganized sector, with over 12
million retail outlets of various sizes and formats. Almost 95% of these retail outlets are less
than 500 sq. ft. In size, the per capita retail space in India being 2 sq. ft. compared to the US
figure of 16 sq. ft. Thus Indias per capita retailing space is the lowest in the world.
With more than 9 outlets per 1000 people, India has the largest number of outlets in the
world. Most of them are independent and contribute as much as 95% to the total retail sales.
Because of the increasing number of nuclear family, working women, greater work pressure
and increased commuting time, convenience has become a priority for the Indian consumers.
The growth and development of organized retailing in India is driven by two main factors lower
price and benefits the consumers cant resist. According to experts, economies of scale drive down the
cost of supply chain, allowing retailers to offers more benefits offered to the customers. Globally,
retailing is customer-centric with an emphasis on innovation in products, process and services. In
short, the customer is the king.
The Indian retail market is the 5th largest retail destination globally. It is estimated to grow from the
US $ 330 billion in 2007 to US $ 427 billion by 2010 and US $ 637 billion by 2015.

RETAIL SECTOR AND ITS SCOPE IN INDIA
Structure of Indian Retail Sector
The retail industry continued in India in the form of Kirana stores till 1980. Soon,
following the modernization of the retail sector in India, many companies started
pouring in the retail industry in India like Bombay Dyeing, Grasim etc. From that time
the retail sector in India can be widely split into the organized and the unorganized
sector.
Organized Retail Sector
After 50 years of unorganized retailing and fragmented Kirana stores, the Indian retail
industry has finally begun to move towards modernization, Systematization and
consolidation. Today, modernization is the catch phrase and the key to understanding
retail in the next decade.
There has been a boom in retail trade in India owing to a gradual increase in the
disposable incomes of the middle class households, as a result of good performance of
IT, Service and Infrastructure sectors. More and more players are entering the retail
business in India to introduce new formats like malls, supermarkets, discount stores,
department stores and even changing the traditional looks of bookstores, chemist shops,
and furnishing stores.
Organized retail formats prevalent globally
Malls
Supermarkets Hypermarkets Discount Stores Department Stores Specialty Stores Internet Retailing Convenience Stores MBO

7/31/2019 project report on digiworld at mumbai
29/77
Unorganized Retail Sector
The unorganized retail sector basically includes the local Kirana stores, hand
cart, the vendors on the pavement (sidewalk) etc. This sector constitutes about 95% of the
total retail trade. As 70% of the employment is generated in Agriculture sector, hence this
form of retailing is widely seen in those areas and of course to some parts of the urban.
There is a lot of hue and cry in the sector for opening of sector for direct investment from
the foreign players, but government cannot neglect the interests of small players. One of
main reason of not opening this sector to FDI is it may shrink the employment in the
unorganized sector and expand that in the organized.

CURRENT SENARIO OF INDIAN RETAIL SECTOR
With a contribution of 14% to the National GDP(Gross Domestic Product) and
employing 7% of the total workforce or two million employees ,the retail industry is
definitely one of the pillars of the Indian economy.Postliberalization the retail sectorin India is heralded as one of the sunrise industry. With more than US$ 450 billion
sales and an average growth rate of 11.2% for the market and 35% average annual
growth rate for organised retail business. Though organised retail has been growing at
an impressive 35% to 40% year-on-year in the last few years compared to 9-10%
growth in the over all retail industry. it accounts for just around 5% of the total retail
market. While India has one of the highest densities of shops per population with 15
million small retail outlets(14 shops per 1000 people) the organised retail is still at an
embryonic stage in the growth process. It is probably for this reason India has been
ranked as the third most attractive nation for retail investment among emergingmarket.
A McKinsey report 'The rise of Indian Consumer Market', estimates that the Indian
consumer market is likely to grow four times by 2025. Commercial real estate services
company, CB Richard Ellis' findings state that India's retail market is currently valued at
US$ 511 billion.
Indian retail on the fast-track
The Indian retail market is the fifth-largest retail destination globally. It isestimated to grow from the US$ 330 billion in 2007 to US$ 637 billion by
2015. Indian retail showed a growth rate of 49.73% with a turnover of US$
25.44 billion in 2007-08 as against US$ 16.99 billion in 2006-2007.
Retail contributes to 14 per cent of Indias Gross Domestic Product andprovides employment to 7 per cent of Indias working population.
Higher disposable incomes, easy availability of credit and high exposure tomedia and brands considerably increased the average propensity to consume
over the years.

12. Suggestions and
Recommendations
-
7/31/2019 project report on digiworld at mumbai
71/77
People at DIGIWORLD, say that DIGIWORLD should employ experienced salesstaff so that they can better explain the quality and features of the products.
Some of the people find in-store environment of digiworld very dull, so try tomaintain nice store image which attracts the customers and it works in word of
mouth marketing for attracting more customers.
Variety of products should be increased for better selection by the customers sothat customers can choose from a huge lot of items of different companies having
different features as the customers at DIGIWORLD complained more regarding
variety of products.
Store layout and planogram of vasai coco should be redesigned that a customercan have easy access to the product.
DIGIWORLD should provide membership card ( on that card one unique no.should be there and offer some point system on every purchase that will attract the
customers, through that DIGIWORLD can increase its sales.)
People generally search for the product on offer so the high margin product shouldbe up fronted that mean those item should be in the eye height so that it easily
catches the customers attention and generates impulse purchase.
To improve Product visualization the Company should do visual merchandising inbetter way.
DIGIWORLD should do more intensive advertisement through pamphlets, localnewspaper, banners, FM Radio, Kiosks for creating more awareness.
Variety of products should be increased with deep assortment for better selectionby the customers so that customers can choose from huge lot of items of different
companies having different features.
Customers are very eager to know about offers, discount schemes provided onconsumer durable and home appliances then DIGIWORLD should do better
marketing for creating awareness about offers and discount schemes.
Complained and feedback should be taken care in well manner to create theloyalty and goodwill.
Merchandise should be arranged properly. Company should give information to the customers through the marketing
gimmick (sms) using database of customers.

CONCLUSION
In the organized consumer durable and home appliance market of Mumbai and its
sub-urb, VIDEOCON has come up with DIGIWORLD , giving good competition to
its competitors like Vijay Sales,Croma,Reliance Digital, Snehanjali and other
electronic outlets. In the near future, it plans to open many stores in Mumbai and its
sub-urbs. Many more competitors has entered the market and many are about to enter
the market, making DIGIWORLDs journey even tougher. Hence, DIGIWORLDs
has to take some important steps to overcome its problem areas and implement the
suggestions before the existing and new retailers grab the opportunity making
DIGIWORLDs existence even more challenging.
To sum up, DIGIWORLD is facing tough competition from its competitors Vijay
Sales, Croma, Reliance Digital, etc, who have grabbed half of the market by
