GROWTH
In an interview in early 2011, CEO Pearl Uppal was asked what the five year
plans for FNY were. She said she wanted FNY to be the global leader in online
apparel retail and wanted to be responsible for the10% of sales for major
apparel brands.

According to a report by the company itself, within 15 months, the


company had over 1.8 million member. Every 6 minutes they have a new
member registered. They are working with over 400 brands and have an
outreach in over 550 cities.

They also have more than 11,00,000 page views per day with 75,000
members logging on everyday at exact 11AM (start time of a sales
event). FNY has been growing at a rate of 35% since its inception.

INTERNAL STRUCTURE
FUNCTIONING

FNY has an employee base of 250 employees working in different


departments FNY has four major departments Marketing, Sourcing,
Supply Chain and CRM.

The companys Headquarters lie in Gurgaon while its sourcing offices


are in Gurgaon and Bangalore and Mumbai.

Decision making in FNY is centralized which means all departments and


offices report directly to the HQ and receive orders from there.

SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT

FNYs supply chain remains a mystery as the company is very secretive about it.
However, in a company report for the suppliers and prospective suppliers, hints about its
supply chain are provided.

As the company is not into manufacturing and only into retailing, its suppliers are the
brands itself.

FNYs Supply Chain (SC) is an 7 step process.


In its first step, FNY signs an agreement with the supplier the brand for sale of its
product
After this, an e-catalogue is produced in FNYs in house studio. If the catalogue is
approved by the reviewers, promotions to all members via Email/SMS and social
media are delivered about the sales event.
Then, the sales event is launched at 11AM and lasts for 3 straight days.
At the end of the sales event, the company tallies up all orders and a purchase order
is issued and sent to the supplier.
The supplier then sends the products ordered and these are delivered directly to
FNYs processing unit where they are sorted and packed in FNYs packaging.

STRENGTHS
Very Well Funded ($48 million) As mentioned earlier, FNY is one of the most well
funded online retailer in the country.
Early Mover Advantage the fact that FNY set up shop in 2010 and gained
tremendous pace in a short span of time while others were still in their infant phase
attracted a lot of interest from investors and generated a lot of interest amongst
consumers.
Board with a lot of experience in the area Their CEO, Chairman and Director for
Sourcing are all well established and know in the industry.
Excellent investors to add more experience in the pot - FNYs list of investors
incorporates both Indian and foreign investors who have invested in some of the
worlds most famous companies. Their expertise can be of great value to FNY

WEAKNESSES
Website not as easy to operate as others like yebhi.com Yebhi has a very
easy and user-friendly category list and search program.
Consumer doubts over authenticity of products
Slow deliveries FNYs supply chain has a bit of a flaw where they can never
be sure of how many products are available with the supplier as the Purchase
Orders is issued after the sale event ends.
List of products not very well defined FNYs category does not.
Not enough TVC Like Myntra.com, FNY does not involve in a lot of Television
Commercials.

OPPORTUNITIES
Entry into neighboring countries Entering or launching their web-site in Bangladesh, Sri
Lanka, Pakistan, Nepal and Bhutan to attract more customers.
Mobile Application use of internet on mobile phones increasing drastically and FNY can
really benefit from a mobile application which allows customers to purchase products from
their mobile devices.
Global Presence Entering more countries around the world will be a good idea as their
business model of sales events is very unique.
Indian Handicrafts India has a massive handicrafts industry and there is a strong demand
for it. Selling handicrafts on their websites can be a good opportunity.
Different Website Versions FNY can have different website versions for different states or
regions of the country catering to the local market by selling local products.

THREATS
Amazon.coms entry into the Indian Market in early 2012 Amazon.com the worlds largest
online retailer announced its plans of entering the Indian online market in early 2011.This
entry will happen in 2012 and is a major threat to FNY as Amazon have a global reputation
and are a global leader in all product categories.
Rival websites getting equal interest from investors As mentioned above, many pure click
companies are receiving heavy investments from both national and international investors.
This can be a major threat to FNY.
Rival websites advertising heavily Myntra.com new campaign of Television Commercials is
swooping the Indian Commercial space
Indian customer still not confident enough to shop online Indian citizens are still wary of
online retailers disclosing confidential information such as credit card details. They are 17
also not confident in the quality of a product ordered through electronic channels as they still
believe in touch and feel.
