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 28,00 0 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 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 Ret ail 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. 20 13. 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, 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). (ASSOCHAM). In a Paper brought out by ASSOCHAM on `Retail Scenario in India and Its Related Issues’, Issues’, it has been stated that approx. 40mn sq. ft. is currently generating a business of about US$4bn in organized retail. r etail. 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 b e 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, Naturally, the large players will prefer to go there and put up their shops by sourcing their supplies from the places convenient to them. 7
Some of the key areas in which retail boom will prevail in towns beyond metros and even large cities will include food items, FMCG products, grocery, sportswear, outerwear, tailored clothing, eyewear, watches, footwear and accessories and the like. The retail business that will pre-dominantly stay with malls put up in metros and large cities will include apparel, pharmaceuticals, luxury goods and consumer durables. Changes should be brought about in Agricultural Produce Marketing Committee (APMC) Act (a key contributor to the large number of intermediaries) such as the introduction of contract farming and allowing direct procurement from farmers by retail owners so that a direct chain is established between the user and farmers for their equal benefits. It also highlights, pointing out that even in the case of nonagricultural 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. 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 th e retailer and plans automatic replenishments responding to the stocks available at the retailer. retailer.

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY In attempt to make this project authentic and reliable, every possible aspect of the topic was kept in mind. Nevertheless, despite of fact constraints were at play during the formulation of this project. The main limitations are as follows:
Due to limitation of time only few retail stores are taken into consideration of this study. So the sample of retailers was not enough to generalize the findings of the study.
The main source of data for the study was primary data with the help of self-administered questionnaires. Hence, the chances of unbiased information are less.
Concern person from the organised retail stores were hesitant to disclose the true facts as the data related to strategic secrets.
The chance of biased response can’t be eliminated though all necessary steps were taken to avoid the same.

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
26
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.
27
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.
28
Gifts Department 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. 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 i ntroducing 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 Game CD & DVD’s DVD’s and also Movie DVD’s. Product lines and the quality of the products in the th e Music Section are basically for the high and medium grade income level people and price range in this section is averagely lies between b etween 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.
29
Suggestions:
Vishal should concentrate on that the music industry is passing pas sing through a high competitive market with piracy world so the th e 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.

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.

The garment section is divided into Men, women and kids section. They have also a discount section only for the garments.

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. industry.

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 it’s a seasonal business and they only give focus at the time of Christmas Day and New Year Year.. Also the high hi gh grade income level people tends to go specialized cards stores so only onl y a few numbers of middle and average 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.

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.

Again the Indian retail industry is targeting targe ting 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.
