CHAPTER 1: RETAIL SECTOR


1.1 History / evolution of retail sector

With revolutionary changes taking place in the worldwide economy and the growing
importance of 24/7 operation of the business, the retail sector has been undergoing a
paradigm shift across the world.
The world of today has turned into a global village; consumerism is having a huge impact
on the contemporary retail business, and technological advancements have created
opportunities as well as several challenges for the retail industry. With the advent of the
internet, the growth in the retail industry has been impressive due to the benefits of the
economies of scale and also the expansion of business across the geographical boundaries
at B2B (Business to Business) and B2C (Business to Consumer) levels.
Several studies have proven that the Indian Retail Market is one of the top emerging
markets in the world. For Indian Economy, the retail sector is one of the pillars, which
contributes towards a growth rate of approximately 10% of the total GDP and towards the
total employment around 8%. According to the latest studies, Indian retail market is
ranked amongst the top 5 retail markets worldwide estimated around 600 Billion US
Dollars.
Indian Retail industry is expected to have a bright future and offers numerous
opportunities for progress and growth. According to GRDI reports, some favorable
factors which support the growth of retail business are: rise in fashion loving and brand
conscious young population, extensive urbanization, and expansion of opportunities for
new investment in retail sector.
As per the report of FICCI (2011), a positive trend in the Indian retail sector can be
attributed to a sharp rise in the Middle-Income segment and growth in domestic
consumption. Moreover, studies suggest that with changes in the consumer buying
preferences, demographics composition and increasing preference for mall culture, there
has been a transition from the traditional retail formats to a more organized form of

DRB & BCP BBA COLLEGE Page 1


RETAIL SECTOR [CH 1 RETAIL SECTOR]

retailing, as a result of which the Indian Retail market is expected to witness an optimistic
trend in future as well.
The retail sector in Indian context can be subdivided into Organized and Unorganized
retail sectors. Organized retailing constitutes licensed retailers registered under sales and
income tax, involved in carrying out their day-to-day trading functions. This may include
large hypermarkets, large-scale owned retail ventures owned privately or the retail chains
as well. On the other hand, unorganized retailing comprises of a sizeable proportion of
small retailers operating their own Kirana, paan, beedi shops, general stores, chemists,
hawkers, etc. In developed economies, organized retail enjoys a predominant share of
around nearly 75-80% as against traditional retailing, while in developing economies;
unorganized sector enjoys a predominant share in the retail market.
The retail sector in India is highly fragmented or distributed. Unorganized retail
constitutes a significant share of over 90%, while the organized retail segment is just in a
start up stage and has witnessed an impressive growth over last few years. Retail in India
originated with the Mom and Pop Stores and Kirana Stores, which used to cater to the
requirements of the local population. Over a period, the government encouraged rural
retail and provided support for establishing Khadi & Village industries.
During 1980’s, the retail scene in India changed further with the opening up of the
economy, as a result of which leading retail chains in textile sector were established like
Raymond’s, S Kumar’s and Bombay Dyeing. Subsequently, Titan launched its retail
showroom, and the organized retailing started strengthening its grip in the Indian market.
By 1995, major retail outlets such as Food World, Music World, and Planet M,
Crossword entered the Indian retail market. Large retail formats and stores like shopping
malls, hypermarkets and supermarkets came into operation for providing best of the class
experience to the customers. The retail sector evolution witnessed improvements in the
distribution set up, supply chain management, technological innovations, back end
operational support and excellence and increase in business alliances in the form of
collaborative ventures, mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, etc.
Major players in the retail industry like Tata Group, Future Group, Bharti, and Reliance,
etc. have stepped forward with aggressive and ambitious investment plans in the retail
sector as a part of their business expansion strategy across various verticals. Moreover,

DRB & BCP BBA COLLEGE Page 2


RETAIL SECTOR [CH 1 RETAIL SECTOR]

with the introduction of retail reforms by the Government of India which allows FDI of
51% in multi brand stores in India, organized retail sector is expected to capture a major
share of the market in the upcoming future.
According to Assocham study, factors such as globalization and liberalization of
economies, increase in the purchasing power of the consumers, changing lifestyle and
infrastructural developments, have revolutionized the Indian retail market. Studies reveal
that organized retail market which was just at 7% of the total retail market share in 2011-
12, is expected to attain a total share of over 10% across the retail sector by 2016-17. The
estimated growth rate of traditional retail is expected to be around 5% while for
organized retail it is expected to be around 25% by 2020.
Food & Grocery is the major contributor in the entire retail market in India with a total
contribution of almost around 60% of the total retail sector in 2012. This is followed by
Clothing (8%) and Telecom & Mobile (6%) and many others. In organized retailing,
Apparels is the major contributor which accounted for a total contribution of 33% in 2012
to the retail industry followed by food and grocery (11%). Though, the share of Food &
Grocery segment in organized retailing has shown an impressive growth since last few
years. E Commerce and E Tailing in recent years have redefined the retail landscape and
offer a lot of opportunities to various stakeholders.

1.2 Overall working of sector

Indian retail industry has emerged as one of the most dynamic and fast-paced industries
due to the entry of several new players. Total consumption expenditure is expected to
reach nearly US$ 3,600 billion by 2020 from US$ 1,824 billion in 2017. It accounts for
over 10% of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) and around eight% of the
employment. India is the world’s fifth-largest global destination in the retail space.
India ranked 73 in the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development's Business-
to-Consumer (B2C) E-commerce Index 2019. India is the world’s fifth-largest global
destination in the retail space and ranked 63 in World Bank’s Doing Business 2020.
Market Size

DRB & BCP BBA COLLEGE Page 3


RETAIL SECTOR [CH 1 RETAIL SECTOR]

As per Forrester Research, in 2020, India's retail sector was estimated at US$ 883
billion, with grocery retail accounting for US$ 608 billion. The market is
projected to reach ~US$ 1.3 trillion by 2024.
Development Scenario
The Indian retail trading has received Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) equity
inflow totaling US$ 3.47 billion during April 2000-March 2021, according to
Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT).
With the rising need for consumer goods in different sectors including consumer
electronics and home appliances, many companies have invested in the Indian
retail space in the past few months.
India’s retail sector attracted US$ 6.2 billion from various private equity and
venture capital funds in 2020.
Government Initiatives
The Government of India has taken various initiatives to improve the retail industry in
India. Some of them are listed below:
Government may change Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) rules in food
processing in a bid to permit E-commerce companies and foreign retailers to sell
Made in India consumer products.
Government of India has allowed 100% FDI in online retail of goods and services
through the automatic route, thereby providing clarity on the existing businesses
of E-commerce companies operating in India.
The government’s focus to improve digital infrastructure in Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets
would be favorable to the sector.
Road Ahead
E-commerce is expanding steadily in the country. Customers have the ever-
increasing choice of products at the lowest rates. E-commerce is probably creating
the biggest revolution in retail industry, and this trend is likely to continue in the
years to come. Retailers should leverage digital retail channels (E-commerce),
which would enable them to spend less money on real estate while reaching out to
more customers in tier II and tier III cities.

1.3 Challenges faced by the sector in India

Study claims retail productivity in India is very low compared to international peer
measures. For example, the labour productivity in Indian retail was just 6% of the labour
productivity in United States in 2010. India's labour productivity in food retailing is about
5% compared to Brazil's 14%; while India's labour productivity in non-food retailing is
about 8% compared to Poland's 25%.[47]
Total retail employment in India, both organised and unorganised, account for about 6%
of Indian labour work force currently - most of which is unorganised. This about a third
of levels in United States and Europe; and about half of levels in other emerging
economies. A complete expansion of retail sector to levels and productivity similar to
other emerging economies and developed economies such as the United States would
create over 50 million jobs in India. Training and development of labour and
management for higher retail productivity is expected to be a challenge.
[48]

In November 2011, the Indian government announced relaxation of some rules and the
opening of retail market to competition.

To achieve and maintain a foothold in an existing market, a prospective retail


establishment must overcome the following hurdles:
regulatory barriers including:
o restrictions on real-estate purchases, especially as imposed by local
governments and against "big-box" chain retailers
o restrictions on foreign investment in retailers, in terms of both absolute amount of
financing provided and percentage share of voting stock (e.g. common stock)
purchased
unfavorable taxation structures, especially those designed to penalize or keep out "big
box" retailers (see "Regulatory" above)
absence of developed supply-chain and integrated IT management

DRB & BCP BBA COLLEGE Page 5


RETAIL SECTOR [CH 1 RETAIL SECTOR]

high competitiveness among existing market participants and resulting low profit
margins, caused in part by:
o constant advances in product design resulting in constant threat of product
obsolescence and price declines for existing inventory
lack of a properly-educated and/or -trained work-force, often including management,
caused in part by loss in business[clarification needed]
o lack of educational infrastructure enabling prospective market entrants to respond
to the above challenges
direct e-tailing (for example, through the Internet) and direct delivery to consumers
from manufacturers and suppliers, cutting out any retail middle man.[99]

1. Lack of Technology Adoption : The availability, feasibility and adoption of


technology is the major challenge faced by the Indian retail outlets. Technology is being
used for the day to day functioning the retail out lets like billing and payments,
prevention of shrinkage, keeping record of stock, supply chain management. But the
scope of technology is wider . Other softwares can be used like RFID for understanding
customer preference, CRM for customer relationship management and ERP tools for
other activities of the outlets. Indian retail outlets need to adopt technology and use
different high end softwares for managing the functioning of retail outlets.
2. Lack of Infrastructure and Logistics: Lack of infrastructure and logistics is the
another challenge faced by organized retail industry. Inefficient infrastructure and
logistics is resulting in inefficient processes. This is the major hinderance of the retailers
as non-efficient distribution channel is very difficult to handle and results in huge losses.
Infrastructure does not have strong base in India. Organization and Globalization are
compelling companies to develop infrastructure facilities transportation including railway
system has to be more efficient. Highway has to meet global standards. Airport capacities
and power supply has to be enhanced. Warehouse facilities and timely distribution are
other areas of challenge. To fully utilize India's potential in retail sector, these major
obstacles have to be removed.
3. Scarcity of Skilled Workforce: The Indian organized retail players spend more than
7% of the sales towards personnel cost. Huge cost is incurred in training of the

DRB & BCP BBA COLLEGE Page 6


RETAIL SECTOR [CH 1 RETAIL SECTOR]

employees. The retail industry faces attrition rate as high as 50% which is very high as
compared to the other sectors. Industry has to pay more in order to retain the trained man
power. Store operations accounts for 70-80% of the total man power of the organized
retail sector. Unfortunately, there are very few specific courses for retail industry.
Graduates and Post graduates from the other streams are hired and are trained in retail
sector.
4. Frauds in Retail: Retail shrinkage is one of the primary challenge that companies
would have to face. Retail shrinkage is the difference between the value of the stock as
per the books and the actual stock available in the outlet. Frauds, including vendor frauds,
theft, shoplifting and inaccuracy in supervision and administration are the challenges that
are difficult to handle. This is so even after the use of security techniques such as CCTV
and POS system. As the size of sector increases, this would increase the number of thefts,
frauds and discrepancies in the system.
5. Inefficient Supply Chain Management: Delivering the right goods at right time at
right place is very important. In India, there is lack of efficient Supply Chain
Management. In India supply chain management should be improved and more
technology need to be used to make the supply chain management effective and reduce
the inventory cost. .Savings can be used to provide extra discounts and benefits to the
customers and more money can be spent on customer retention.
6. Price War: There is price war between different retail organizations. Every
organization is trying to provide goods at low cost and offers various lucrative
promotional schemes. In such situation, it is difficult to attain customer loyalty and
companies keep marginal profit to provide the goods at competitive prices.
7. Cultural Diversity: India's huge size and socio economic and cultural diversity means
there is no established mode or consumption pattern throughout the country. The
manufacturers and retailers will have to devise strategies for different sectors and
segments which by itself would be challenging.
8. Complexity in Tax Structure: In India tax structure is very complex. This tax
structure complexity is another major challenge for Indian retail outlets. The sale tax
varies from state to state while organized player have to face multiple point control and
system. In many locations, retailers have to face a multi point octroi with the introduction

DRB & BCP BBA COLLEGE Page 7


RETAIL SECTOR [CH 1 RETAIL SECTOR]

of Value Added Tax (VAT) in 2005. Certain anomalies in the existing sale tax system
causing disruption in the supply chain are, however, likely to get corrected over a period
of time.
9. Escalating land and rental prices: Huge growth of retail industry has created a huge
demand for the real estate. This is leading to increase in property prices. Starting a new
store needs huge investment in purchasing a land. This huge investment is also a
challenge for the retail outlets. Rental prices are also increasing, leading to increase in the
overall costing.
10. Competition from Unorganized Retail : Competition from the unorganized retail
sector is the International Journal of Management and Applied Science, ISSN: 2394-7926
Volume-3, Issue-9, Sep.-2017 http://iraj.in Challenges Faced by Indian Organized Retail
Outlets: A Descriptive Study of Delhi / NCR 24 major challenge for the organized retail
outlets. Unorganized retail sector includes mom-and- pop kiryana stores. These are low
cost structures normally operated by the owners and has almost negligible real estate cost,
labor cost and they have to pay no or very less taxes and are very near to the residential
area or generally in the residential areas. They also have started offers and discounts to
attain customer’s loyalty and providing free home delivery facilities. Kiryana stores also
providing credit to the regular customers. So this is the major challenge for the retail
outlets.
11. Online selling companies: These days so many online marketing companies are
coming up. These companies are providing goods to the customer at their door step and at
lesser prices when compared with retail outlets. Online companies are providing so many
lucrative offers to the customers. So this is also a major challenge for the retail outlets.
12. Power Supply Problem: in India Big organized retail outlets requires high volume of
electricity for lighting, air-conditioning, escalators, cold storing, billing system, lifts etc.
In fact in the absence of power organized retail outlets can’t survive. There is a huge
problem of electricity in India. Long power cuts are very often in India. Because of
inadequate power supply retail outlets need to invest huge money on generators for
power backups. Tariff for consumption of power supply is also very high for retail
outlets. This leads to increase in the costing of the retail outlets.

DRB & BCP BBA COLLEGE Page 8


RETAIL SECTOR [CH 1 RETAIL SECTOR]

13. High Cost of Operation: Retail outlets have to incur very high cost of operation.
This is on account of high labor cost, training cost of human resource, social security to
employees, high real estate cost and rentals, air conditioning, power backups cost, high
maintenance cost, high electricity tariffs, high taxes, investment in supply chain and
logistics, investment in technology, high investment in equipments and fixtures to give
modern look to the store, CCTV's cost etc. So retail outlets have to incur high cost of
operation still they have to provide goods to the customers at lower prices. This is a big
challenge for the retail outlet.
14. Government Opposition to FDI: Government opposition to FDI is the other major
challenge for organized retail. Retail is one of the few sectors where FDI is restricted. In
the era of Globalization and liberalization the time is not far when the retail sector has to
face competition from international retailers. FDI in retail will allow the foreign retailers
to operate their functioning in India which will lead to high competition and resulting in
to low price of good in Indian market. This will make Indian economy stronger.
15. Understanding customer: These days it is very difficult to understand the customer
behavior. So many factors plays an important role in effecting te customer behavior and
loyalty such as product quality, service quality, customer satisfaction, promotions, offers
provided by other players in the market. To attain the customer loyalty so much of efforts
are required to understand the customer behavior and regular market survey is required.
16. Ever-increasing customer demand: Ever increasing demand of the customers is also
a challenge to the retail outlets. These days because of Globalization awareness among
the customers is increasing. Customer’s psychology is changing and becoming more
demanding. They want to pay less for more and more. Because of high operating cost it is
very difficult to meet the customer demand. So this is also a great challenge for the retail
outlets of India.

1.4 SWOC analysis of retail sector

Strength
The inherent strength of the Indian economy provides a boost to retail. Following are
some of the factors that strengthen the economy:
1 Purchasing Power

DRB & BCP BBA COLLEGE Page 9


RETAIL SECTOR [CH 1 RETAIL SECTOR]

An increasing number of Indian consumers are ascending the economic pyramid to form
an emerging middle class. Though they still earn modest income between 1.70 and 5
USD per capita, per day, in the coming decade, these consumers will collectively have
around 6 trillion USD worth of purchasing power annually.
In 2010, there were about 470 million people in the emerging middle class. As per PwC
estimate, this segment will grow to 570 million by 2021. This segment, existing between
the lowest-income group and the middle class, will constitute about 42% of India’s total
population.

2 Population Demographics
India’s working population is expected to be 117 million over the next decade as
compared to China’s four million. In the following decade, from 2020, the former will
add 98 million to its workforce, while China will contract 51 million. This is a big
positive for India.
3 Low Retail Penetrations
The penetration of organized retail in India is still very low at 6 to 8%, especially when
compared to developed nations such as the US and the UK which have retail penetration
of 85% and 80%, respectively. With new policy reforms, increasing purchasing power,
and changing spending pattern, we are bound to see a difference in the coming years. As
per the Images Retail research, FY15 will witness a jump in the share of organized retail.
4 Aspiring Middle Class
With a population of 100 million, the tier II and III cities in India are larger than countries
such as Germany and the UK. Besides, the untapped rural population holds immense
potential for retailers. It is estimated that by 2021, approximately 67% of Indians will still
live in rural areas.
Weakness
Despite the positives, there are certain facets of the sector that may dampen growth.
Following are the key areas to consider:
1 Political Uncertainty and Regulatory Requirements

DRB & BCP BBA COLLEGE Page 10


RETAIL SECTOR [CH 1 RETAIL SECTOR]

The announcement of FDI in retail has stirred the political pot. The government faces
stiff opposition with its allies threatening to withdraw support. In case, this policy is
finally implemented, there is another important aspect for the companies to overcome.
The way the policy is currently drafted, a retailer can set up stores only in those states
which have agreed or will agree in the future to allow FDI in multi-brand retail.
2 Poor Infrastructures and Supply Chain Management
Apart from the political and regulatory scenario, infrastructure will play an important role
in deciding how this sector will evolve and retailers will manage the supply chain. While
the FDI regulation states that the retailer will have to invest a substantial amount in
building the infrastructure, this will take time. Meanwhile, due to poor infrastructure,
multiplicity of taxes, high cost of fuel, dependence largely on the road transportation, etc.
logistics still remains a high percentage of the cost of a product, in certain cases going
beyond 15 to 20%.
Opportunity
Retailers in India have been experimenting to arrive at a successful formula, but there is
no ‘one size fits all’ strategy. The market is still undergoing a lot of changes, both from
the regulatory as well as demand side. Following are some of the winning factors that
players could focus on:
1 Innovation
During PwC’s 15th Annual Global CEO Survey, one of the questions posed to the CEOs
in the R&C sector was as follows: To what extent do you anticipate changes at your
company in any of the following areas over the next 12 months? Nearly 73% indicated
that the following two areas will change in the near-term:
• R&D and innovation capacity
• Technology investments
2 Digital Strategies
Going digital is not only about e-commerce but the way interaction will change in a few
major areas including changing business models (e-commerce, e-payments and mobile
transactions), employee and customer engagement and investment in technology.

DRB & BCP BBA COLLEGE Page 11


RETAIL SECTOR [CH 1 RETAIL SECTOR]

Customers are demanding an improved experience in terms of how to search, browse


products and conduct transactions online. R&C organizations need to engage with
customers differently, in terms of using a range of channels. However, the overall
customer experience should be the same-smooth and seamless.
Social media is also becoming a popular tool for consumers to educate themselves about
offerings, seek advice about products and compare brands. For retail companies it is
important to define how social media can support sales activities throughout the various
channels, especially e-commerce. Social media analytics is the focus area for retailers.
3 Customer-centric Approach
The retailer is no longer looking at product innovation at the merchandising level only
but the entire store today is a product that needs to appeal to the customer. The following
are factors that will make a difference:
• Experience design
• Digital change
• Analytical insights
4 Changing the Regulatory Scenario
Recently, the Indian government made the following two significant announcements that
will go a long way in developing the Indian retail sector:
• Permitting foreign investment in multi-brand retail trading
• Simplifying the rules for single brand retail trading to make it more business-friendly
Threat/challenges
The retail sector is marred with many issues. The two most important threats are as
follows:
1. Availability of land and real estate
Retail space and rentals are key considerations in multi-brand retail and getting a feasible
rate in the desired location is important. There are retailers who have exited cities
because of the high rentals that put more pressure on profitability.
2. Human Capitals
With attrition still very high in the industry, human capital management continues to
remain one of the top three agenda points for the retailer. The attrition in the industry can

DRB & BCP BBA COLLEGE Page 12


RETAIL SECTOR [CH 1 RETAIL SECTOR]

be anywhere between 20 and 25% in non-food and grocery business to as high as 60% in
the food and grocery segment.
Thus, the Indian retail sector has its own set of strengths and opportunities. However, the
challenge lies in overcoming the weaknesses and providing an environment that is
conducive to the business, not only for the national players but also the foreign retailers.

DRB & BCP BBA COLLEGE Page 13


RETAIL SECTOR [CH 1 RETAIL SECTOR]

1) The retail sector in the nation of 1.2 billion people is estimated to have annual sales of
$450 billion, with nearly 90 per cent of the market controlled by tiny family-run shops.
2) Organized retail, or large chains, makes up about 10 per cent of the market, but is
expanding at 20 percent a year. This is driven by the emergence of shopping centers and
malls, and a middle class of close to 300 million people that is growing at nearly 2 per
cent a year.
3) India has recently allowed 100 per cent FDI in single-brand retail subject to certain
sourcing restrictions, paving way for global chains to have full ownership of their India
operations. So far US-based coffee giant Starbucks has signed a memorandum of
understanding (MoU) with Tata Coffee
4) Earlier, the government had passed the measure to allow 51 per cent FDI in multi-
brand retail. However, it was forced to be put in on the backburner after vociferous
opposition from other political parties who alleged that they had not been consulted on
the matter. FDI in multi-brand retail is being seen as a key to get much-needed foreign
funds into the country
5) India also allows 100 per cent FDI in cash-and-carry, or wholesale, ventures.
Restrictions on foreign investment in front-end retail exist because of opposition from
millions of small shopkeepers who are valuable vote banks during elections.

corporate and foreign players dominating the organized retailing in top 15 cities. What
they are trying to do now is to build a Profitable and scalable business model based on

Post launch, in a dramatic shift in its positioning and mainly due to the
circumstances prevaling in UP, West Bengal and Orissa, it was mentioned
recently in news Dailies that, Reliance Retail is moving out of stocking fruits

DRB & BCP BBA COLLEGE Page 18


RETAIL SECTOR [CH 2 COMPANY PROFILE ]

and vegetables. Reliance Retail has decided to minimise its exposure in the
fruit and vegetable business and position Reliance Fresh as a pure play super
market focusing on categories like food, FMCG, home, consumer durables, IT
and wellness , with food accounting for the bulk of the business. The company
may not stock fruit and vegetables in some states. Though Reliance Fresh is
not exiting the fruit and vegetable business altogether, it has decided not to
compete with local vendors partly due to political reasons, and partly due to its
inability to create a robust supply chain. This is quite different from what the
firm had originally planned. . When the first Reliance Fresh store opened in
Hyderabad last October, not only did the company said the store’s main focus
would be fresh produce like fruits and vegetables at a much lower price, but
also spoke at length about its “farm-to-fork’’ theory. The idea the company
spoke about was to source from farmers and sell directly to the consumer
removing middlemen out of the way. Reliance Fresh, Reliance Mart, Reliance
Digital, Reliance Trendz, Reliance Footprint, Reliance Wellness, Reliance
Jewels, Reliance Timeout and Reliance Super are various formats that
Reliance has rolled out. In addition, Reliance Retail has entered into an
alliance with Apple for setting up a chain of Apple Specialty Stores branded as
iStore, starting with Bangalore.

Declining net cash flow.
Focus on certain places, slow growth, sustainability of low pricing, no frills.

store experiences and retailers can use Iot, artificial intelligence, etc. to create
value-adding services for their customers for which they can charge a

pay more and boost the quality of services they offer.

the biggest opportunity for the company.
South of India= D-Mart can also open stores in the south and areas where no
store is there.
Threats
Online retailers=People in large cities, in general, are particularly lethargic
about leaving their homes and often tend to shop online. So companies such as
Amazon and Flipkart are now big threats to most retailers.

DRB & BCP BBA COLLEGE Page 26


RETAIL SECTOR [CH 2 COMPANY PROFILE ]

Online start up=Online startups are the hottest trend in India. Many of these
are aggregators that cost-effectively put the manufacturer and the consumer
together. These companies are the emerging threats more so because in the
aggregation industry many new brands are emerging mainly due to lower
entry barriers.
Global competitors
Competition among best price and reliance retail
Unorganized retail is also a big threats
Government policies and regulation related to the retails sector.
International players who are willing to opens stores in india.

VI Brief history
In 1998 Tata sold off their 50% stake in the cosmetic products
company Lakmé to HUL for ₹200 crore (US$48.46 million), and created Trent from
the money it made through the sale. All shareholders of Lakmé were given different
shares in Trent. Simone Tata, the chairperson of Lakmé, went on to head Trent. The
reason behind the sale was that Tata saw a greater growth potential in retail, and
believed that it would be much more difficult for an Indian company to release new
cosmetic products in a market that had opened up to global companies.
In Aug, 2005 Trent acquired a 76% controlling stake in Landmark, a Chennai-based
privately owned books and music retailer, and completed 100% acquisition in April
2008.

RATIOS AND THEIR INTERPRETATION:


RATIOS AND THEIR INTERPRETATION:
What is ratio?
The quantitative relation between two amounts showing the number of times one
value contains or is contained within the other is known as ratio.
Ratios are used by big companies for comparison and companies can also use
ratios to see if there is a trend in financial performance. Established companies
collect data from the financial statements over a large number of reporting
periods. The trend obtained can be used to predict the direction of future financial
performance, and also identify any expected financial turbulence that would not
be possible to predict using ratios for a single reporting period.
The management of a company can also use financial ratio analysis to determine
the degree of efficiency in the management of assets and liabilities. Inefficient use
of assets such as motor vehicles, land, and building results in unnecessary
expenses that ought to be eliminated. Financial ratios can also help to determine if
the financial resources are over- or under-utilized.

Here we have shown four ratios:

1) Liquidity ratio – current ratio


A liquidity ratio is a financial ratio that indicates whether a company's current
assets will be sufficient to meet the company's obligations when they become due
.
Formula:-

DRB & BCP BBA COLLEGE Page 44


RETAIL SECTOR [CH 3 FINANCIAL DEPARTMENT]

Liquidity Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

2) Return ratio
Return on assets Return on assets is a profitability ratio that provides how much
profit a company is able to generate from its assets.
Formula:-
ROA = Net income/ Total assets

3) Valuation ratio- p/e ratio


The price-to-earnings ratio (P/E ratio) is the ratio for valuing a company that
measures its current share price relative to its earnings per share (EPS).
Formula:-
P/E = Earning per share / market value per share.

4) Leverage ratio - debt to equity ratio


The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio is used to evaluate a company's financial leverage
and is calculated by dividing a company’s total liabilities by its shareholder
equity.
Formula:-
Debt/equity = total liabilities/ total shareholders equity.
1) Reliance retail

PARTICULARS 2021 2020 2019


Liquidity 1.34 0.63 0.73
ratio
Return on 3.71 3.37 3.94
asset
Valuation 26.23 17.49 20.21
ratio
Leverage 0.32 0.65 0.70
ratio

As shown here, different types of ratios are compared for last three
financial year of the company
If we focus on liquidity ratio, ratio of year most current year is quite
good
compare to other year
In the current year value of company in increased means the per share
price has also increased.

DRB & BCP BBA COLLEGE Page 45


RETAIL SECTOR [CH 3 FINANCIAL DEPARTMENT]

Here in return on asset ratio, difference in ratio is no big. Year 2019


has highest ratio of return.
A good leverage ratio is 0.5 or less, we can see that 2021 is in good
position as per leverage because it is less than 0.5 and other two year
has more than 0.5
2) D mart

PARTICULARS 2021 2020 2019


Liquidity 3.67 3.23 1.70
ratio
Return on 8.05 10.77 12.88
asset
Valuation 168.48 105.63 101.74
ratio
Leverage 0.00 0.00 0.08
ratio
In a table, liquidity ratio is increasing positively from last three years
which shows that company.
Here if we see return on asset ratio is decreasing from last three year .
Here every year has zero leverage which shows, Dividend-paying
zero-leverage firms pay substantially higher dividends, are more
profitable, pay higher taxes, issue less equity, and have higher cash
balances than control firms chosen by industry and size.
As valuation ratio is calculated by share price, here the table show that
it is increasing as share price also increases.
3) V mart

PARTICULARS 2021 2020 2019


Liquidity 3.35 1.61 1.99
ratio
Return on -0.38 4.03 9.75
asset ratio
Valuation -826.56 52.29 79.22
ratio
Leverage 0.00 0.00 0.00
ratio

Efficiency of year 2021 to pay due is better than the other two
years.
The difference of three year on return on asset ratio is large and
also negative.

DRB & BCP BBA COLLEGE Page 46


RETAIL SECTOR [CH 3 FINANCIAL DEPARTMENT]

Here the valuation ratio from 2019 to 2021 is decreasing which is


not good

4) Aditya birla fashion & retail

PARTICULARS 2021 2020 2019


Liquidity 0.92 0.73 0.83
ratio
Return on -6.61 -1.66 4.85
asset
Valuation -24.45 -72.46 53.10
ratio
Leverage 0.31 2.22 0.84
ratio

Good liquidity is anything higher than 1, but here liquidity ratio of v


mart is less than.
Here in ABFRL valuation ratio and return on asset both are negative
means company is not in a position in which they can easily pay
due.
Leverage is good if it’s more than one but here only year 2020 has
good leverage ratio.
5) Tata trent

PARTICULARS 2021 2020 2019


Liquidity 1.87 3.50 1.53
ratio
Return on -2.55 2.22 3.78
asset
Valuation -182.74 137.21 123.94
ratio
Leverage 0.00 0.13 0.24
ratio
liquidity ratio is more than one which shows that company is in good
position to pay short term debt obligation and in year 2020 ratio is
more than 2 means that the company can cover it’s current two times
over liabilities.
It gives an idea how efficient a company's management is at using its
assets to generate earnings but the current years ratio is negative.

COMPARISION BETWEEN COMPANIES

DRB & BCP BBA COLLEGE Page 47


RETAIL SECTOR [CH 3 FINANCIAL DEPARTMENT]

If we compare liquidity ratio , d mart has highest and ABFRL has


lowest ratio in the year 2021.
Also D mart has highest return on asset ratio.
Overall ratio analysis says that D mart has good progess compare
to other.

SEGMENTATION AND TARGETING
Segmentation involves finding out what kinds of consumers with different needs exist. In
the auto market, for example, some consumers demand speed and performance, while others
are much more concerned about roominess and safety. In general, it holds true that ―You
can ‘t be all things to all people, and experience has demonstrated that firms that specialize in
meeting the needs of one group of consumers over another tend to be more profitable.
Several different kinds’ of variables can be used for segmentation: -1.Demographic variables
essentially refer to personal statistics such as income, gender, education, location (rural vs.
urban, East vs. West), ethnicity, and family size. Another basis for segmentation is
behavior . Some consumers are ―brand loyal‖— I.e. they tend to stick with their preferred
brands even when a competing one is on sale.

Segmentation , targeting and positioning
After research, we found that the Westside seems to be using income based segmentation and
targeting the upper middle and lower upper class of the society. The brand is positioning on a
“fashion at affordable price” plank and as a family store delivering complete shopping
experience. Are they successful in catering to these classes is a different matter altogether.
The product variety that they offer, the prices of the product that they offer, and the kind of
associated people have with the brand is very different from what the company wants. It
seems that, at the time of establishment, the company had very set strategy on what customer
base they wanted to create. But since its inception, the company has started to attract the
customer from other segments also. It seems that the company’s target segment, which was
very clear at the beginning, has become obscure. The reason for this shift is not very clear but
we can speculate that the company become sales driven instead of creating a loyal customer

from upper segment Westside is going to revamp their store. Westside has hired London
based retail consulting agency named flitch to add flare to its stores and to woo the customers
from upper segment.

1) Reliance retail

2) D mart
Positioning involves implementing our targeting. DMart positioning to itstargeting
customer, middle class by giving discount offers, working women by monthly saving
bazaar and home makers by providing a wide range of food, non-food, fruits and
vegetables far as its competitors like Big bazaar, Easy Day are concerned, they are
premium brands that will cater only to those who are willing to give some extra for the
quality of products and services provided. So the competitors of DMart is so far
unsuccessful in penetrating the markets
3) V mart
V mart positions itself as a global premium retailer outlet
It is positioned as a family store delivering a complete shopping experience
POSITIONING STRATEGY and JUSTIFICATION: STRATEGY:
By using the combination of 2 strategies
1. Positioning by product attributes: A product attribute is a specific feature or benefit of
the product. Positioning in this way focuses on one or two of the product’s best
features/benefits, relative to the competitive offerings.
2. Positioning by corporate identity: It means affiliating the parent brand name with the
newly launched or unaware brand.

audiences. They also use print media and simultaneously social media to reach to the
customers.
Since this is a service marketing brand, here are the other three Ps to make it the 7Ps
marketing mix of Reliance Retail.
People:
Reliance being one of the largest employers in the country has around 1,20,000 employees
working for Reliance Retail. This includes talented people who are inclined in sales jobs.
Proper care is taken to make every worker familiar with the product and be expert about
it.
Process:
The main focus of Reliance Retail from beginning was to never be stock out for which it
had to have a very efficient logistics division. Reliance fresh which sells vegetables and
fruits have daily replacement systems where the inventories are rotated throughout the
day. In Reliance Digital they feature one of the largest tech markets not only in terms of
product varieties but also in terms of easy availability which is achieved through
company's connection to main suppliers and rapid distribution system.
Physical Evidence:
Reliance Retail stores have been trying to reach each and corner of the country. Reliance
fresh has been successful in being the daily Retail store for a majority of consumers in
Tier 1 and tier 2 cities. Their presence in fashion retails can be seen from big hoardings in
major streets. The outlets those are chosen for set up are usually big spaces which portray
a display of the store varieties. They usually take multiple floors with multiple retails all
at one stop. Such as Reliance trends, footprints and digital are often clubbed together.
This concludes the marketing mix of Reliance Retail.

The key to build lasting customer relationship is to create superior customer value and
satisfaction. Satisfied customers are more likely to be a loyal customer and to give the
company a larger share of their business.

Customer Value: Customer value is defined as the ratio between the customers’
perceived benefits and the resources used to obtain those benefits. Customer value is the
satisfaction the customer experiences (or expects to experience) by taking a given action
relative to the cost of that action. Customers often face a bewildering array of products
and services from which to choose. Customer value can be examined at different levels.
At a low level, customer value can be viewed as the attributes of a product that a
customer perceives to receive value from. At a higher level, customer value can be
viewed as the emotional payoff and achievement of a goal or desire. When customers
derive value from a product, they derive value from the attributes of the product as well
as from the attribute performance and the consequence of achieving desired goals from
the use of the product

DRB & BCP BBA COLLEGE Page 69


RETAIL SECTOR CH 4 MARKETING DEPARTMENT

Customer Satisfaction: Customer satisfaction is the perception of individuals of the


performance of the product or service in relation to their expectations. Customer
satisfaction depends on the products perceived performance relative to a buyer
expectation. If the performance of the product falls short of expectations, the customer is
dissatisfied. If performance matches expectations, the customer is satisfied. If
performance exceeds expectations, the customer is highly satisfied or delighted. Highly
satisfied customers make repeat purchases and tell others about their good experiences
with the product.

Creating customer loyalty and retention: Every business should focus on building
customer loyalty and retention. These two important concepts can help to increase
revenue over the course of many years. Loyalty will increase order totals while retention
lowers marketing and acquisition costs. Good customer relationship management creates
customer delight. In turn, delighted customers remain loyal and talk favorable to others
about the company and its products. Thus the aim of customer relationship management
is to create not just customer satisfaction, but customer delight.

Performance appraisal process


Forming part of an organisation's overall performance management system,
the performance appraisal can be defined as the process of identifying,
evaluating and developing the work performance of employees to help
achieve the goals and objectives of the organisation
1) Reliance retail
Reliance retail has unique step to conduct self appraisal first and
part appraiser if required in the process. Only after getting
confirmation from the supervisors’s supervisor the normalization
process brgins:
objectives of performance appraisal
established job expectations
design an appraisal programme
appraise performance
performance interview
archive appraisal data
use appraisal data for appropriate purposes

2) D mart
D mart follows the appraisal process of 360 degree appraisal methods
This appraisal method has five integral components like:
Self-appraisals
Self-appraisals offer employees a chance to look back at their performance and
understand their strengths and weaknesses. However, if self-appraisals are
performed without structured forms or formal procedures, it can become lenient,
fickle, and biased.

DRB & BCP BBA COLLEGE Page 85


RETAIL SECTOR CH 5 HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

Managerial reviews
Performance reviews done by managers are a part of the traditional and basic
form of appraisals. These reviews must include individual employee ratings
awarded by supervisors as well as the evaluation of a team or program done by
senior managers.
Peer reviews
As hierarchies move out of the organizational picture, coworkers get a unique
perspective on the employee’s performance making them the most relevant
evaluator. These reviews help determine an employee’s ability to work well with
the team, take up initiatives, and be a reliable contributor. However, friendship or
animosity between peers may end up distorting the final evaluation results.
Subordinates Appraising manager (SAM)
This upward appraisal component of the 360-degree feedback is a delicate and
significant step. Reportees tend to have the most unique perspective from a
managerial point of view. However, reluctance or fear of retribution can skew
appraisal results.
Customer or client reviews
The client component of this phase can include either internal customers such as
users of product within the organization or external customers who are not a part
of the company but interact with this specific employee on a regular basis.
Customer reviews can evaluate the output of an employee better, however, these
external users often do not see the impact of processes or policies on an
employee’s output.
This process helps employee to Increase the individual’s awareness of how
they perform and the impact it has on other stakeholders
3) V mart
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the best performance
appraisal method which is most suited in V Mart retail limited by
doing a comparison between the two methods adopted by the company
i.e. ranking method in low level management and middle level
management and 360 degree method at top level management, so to
find which is the efficient method from the two methods.

DRB & BCP BBA COLLEGE Page 86


RETAIL SECTOR CH 5 HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

The starting point for the PA process is identifying specific


performance goals. An appraisal system probably cannot effectively
serve desired purpose, so management should select the specific goals
it believes to be most important and realistically achievable. Too many
performance appraisal system fail because management expects too
much from one methods and does not determine specifically what if
wants the system to accomplish. The next step in this on going
performance expectations to those concerned.
Then the work is performed and the supervisor appraises the
performances. At the end of the appraisal period, the appraiser and the
employees together review work performance and evaluate it against
standards, determines reasons for deficiencies, and develops a plan to
correct the problems. At this meeting, goals are set for the next
evaluation periods, and the cycle repeats.
4) Aditya birla
Employee Performance management includes planning work and
setting expectations, developing the capacity to perform, continuously

G r ie va nc e R e d r e s s a l P r o c e du r e :
The Grievance Procedure aims at settlement of grievances of
permanent employees, other than supervisors and fresh employees on
probation, in the time and at the lowest possible level. It is a three
possible shortest stage procedure with an appropriate grievance form
for each stage.
Individual grievances and complaints shall not be discussed at any
level other than that specified in this procedure except that, if the Union so
desires, such cases maybe put up for discussion at the Central Works Committee.
Policy matters and their interpretation shall not be discussed at any level except
with the top management. The Union, however, can take up such
matters at the Central Works Committee.
Representations for the redressal of grievances from employe
es to the various authorities either directly or through the Union,
when their cases are pending with any Works Committee, are not
conducive to the working of those committees. Hence, no representation will be
entertained for discussion at any level of the management if the case is
already referred to and pending with any Works Committee, until the
same is either disposed of or withdrawn from the Works Committee.

business hours include the many tasks that need to be done besides selling—
receiving, preparing and tagging merchandise, cleaning and facing shelves, freshening
displays, counting the cash in the cash drawer, ordering new merchandise, checking
on special orders, notifying customers of the status of their purchases, returning
damaged goods, recording markdowns, answering the phone, and a multitude of other
invisible, but necessary, tasks—that you usually can’t accomplish during store hours.
