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.

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.

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 to them.

Page 8: Project Report organised retails in India

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.

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.

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

Page 16: Project Report organised retails in India

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.

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

16

Page 17: Project Report organised retails in India

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.

VISHAL MEGA MART

Page 21: Project Report organised retails in India

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.

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.

Page 28: Project Report organised retails in India

FACTS AND FINDINGS

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

Page 29: Project Report organised retails in India

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:

29

Page 30: Project Report organised retails in India

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 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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

REVENUE PER DEPARTMENT 2004-05 2008-09

GARMENTS DEPARTMENT 90000 300000

GIFTS DEPARTMENT 42000 180000

CARDS DEPARTMENT 2000 1800

MUSIC DEPARTMENT 19000 40000

TOTAL 153000 521800

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 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

38

Page 39: Project Report organised retails in India

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.

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

39

Page 40: Project Report organised retails in India

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.

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: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.

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:For the study of revenue per customer, we have taken the contribution of total customer flow on the total revenue of the stores on an average of high customer flow days.
