Introduction
As customers tastes and preferences are changing, the market scenario is also
changing from time to time. Todays market scenario is very different from that of
the market scenario before 1990. There have been many factors responsible for the
changing market scenario. It is the changing tastes and preference of customer which
has bought in a change in the market. Income level of the people has changed; life
styles and social class of people have completely changed now than that of olden
days. There has been a shift in the market demand in todays world. Technology is
one of the major factors which is responsible for this paradigm shift in the mark. New

departmental stores, hyper market, shoppers stop, malls, branded retail outlets and
specialty stores. In todays world shopping is not any more tiresome work rather its a

Theoretical Perspective
Retailing
The Indian consumer could well be crowned King with all economic indicators in the
right place. Queuing up for the coronation ceremony are a multitude of global
companies that are looking at India as the next consumer market powerhouse. And it
seems to be the retail sector that will give the desi consumer royal status.
In this study I will try to find out the present scenario of retail market in India. This
project will give focus on the global scene to retail industry and what will drive the
growth of industry in the future.
Retailing is the final step in the distribution of merchandise, the last link in supply
chain connecting the bulk procedures of commodities to the final consumers.
Retailing in India is thoroughly unorganized. There is no supply chain management
perspective. According to a survey by AT Kearney, an overwhelming proportion of
the Rs. 400,000 crore retail markets are UNORGANISED. In fact, only a Rs. 20,000
crore segment of the market is organized.
From a size of only Rs.20, 000 crores, the ORGANISED retail industry will grow to
Rs. 180,000 crores by 2005. The TOTAL retail market, however, as indicated above
DAYANANDA SAGAR BUSINESS SCHOOL
-
8/7/2019 deva big baazar final
15/88
will grow 20 per cent annually from Rs. 400,000 crore in 2000 to Rs. 900,000 crores
by 2009
A study by McKinsey points out that India's market for consumer goods can reach a
w $450 billion by 2011 - making it one of the five largest in the world. Further,
KPMG in a recent report titled `Consumer Markets in India - the next big thing?' has
said: "India represents an economic opportunity on a massive scale, both as a global
base and a domestic market." The report, however, finds that the next leap in the
growth of the consumer market will be spearheaded by the changing dynamics of the
retail sector. "Companies expect that the next cycle of change in Indian consumer
markets will be the arrival of foreign players in consumer retailing. Although FDI
remains highly restricted in retailing, most companies believe that will not be for
long," says Deepankar Sanwalka, Executive Director and Head - Consumer Markets,
KPMG India.
FDI in retail has once again begun to appear imminent following Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh's recent interview to McKinsey, in which he expressed confidence
that he would be able to get the Left parties on board on the matter. KPMG is in fact
going ahead with its plans to conduct a series of five roadshows in the US and a few
countries in Europe to hold discussions about the opportunities in India's consumer
markets, especially in retail. And the numbers do lend credence to the enthusiasm.
The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) country briefing on India, 2005, estimates the
retail market in India will grow from $394 billion in 2005 to $608.9 billion in 2009.
In fact, KPMG finds that the organised retail sector in India is expected to grow at a
higher rate than GDP growth in the next five years, driven by changing lifestyles,
DAYANANDA SAGAR BUSINESS SCHOOL

strong income growth and favourable demographic patterns. According to EIU, India
currently has more than five million retails outlets, out of which 96 per cent are
smaller than 500 sq. ft. But this scenario is changing fast. The structure of retailing is
developing rapidly with malls becoming increasingly common in large cities, and
development plans being projected at 350 new shopping malls by 2012.
Emerging trends in organized retailing
Over the last five years, a number of large business groups such as Tatas, RPG,
Rahejas and Piramals has set up stores/malls and built businesses within retail.
These include the Rs1.9bn Food World - a leading supermarket chain set up by RPG;
the Rahejas Rs1.8bn Shoppers Stop - a multi-brand departmental outlet and the
Crossroads Mall set up by the Piramals. While many of these initiatives were
initially driven by the need to use existing real estate, they are beginning to assume
the contours of a serious business today.
Fuel retailers, notably BPCL and HPCL are also expanding their presence from fuel
retail to grocery and convenience stores. Suitability of location, optimal utilization of
real estate, diversifying business to reduce reliance on the commodity nature of fuel
retail business and improve margins are the key factors that has lead fuel majors to
enter into the retailing.
Also, existing family owned businesses are expanding their businesses. The more
successful of them are the Nilgiris - a Bangalore base food retailer, Viveks - a 40-

year old Chennai based chain selling consumer durables and Narulas - the food chain
in North India.
Interestingly, manufacturers are also looking for forward integration and are building
chains around brands. Brands in apparel, footwear and durables have driven the
growth of specialty chains and upgraded existing multi-brand outlet.

Although the retail sector in India highly fragmented and consists predominantly of
small, independent, owner-managed shops, it happens to be the country's second
largest employer after agriculture. The country is currently witnessing a boom in
retailing, thanks mainly on account of an increase in the disposable incomes of
middle and upper-middle class households.
More and more corporate houses, including large real estate companies, are now
entering the retail business directly or indirectly. One sign of the modernization of
Indian retailing is the rapid growth in the number of speciality malls and theme malls.
The Piramals, Tatas, Rahejas, ITC, S. Kumar's, RPG Enterprises, Aerens, Omaxe and
mega retailers like Crosswords, Shopper's Stop and Pantaloon have taken the lead in
organized retailing.
Emergence of specialty retailing
Though organised retailing is still at a nascent stage - accounting for only around two
per cent of the $180 billion retail market in India - it is likely to touch 10 per cent by
the end of this decade. Four product categories have led the organised retailing wave:
foods, apparel, lifestyle products, consumer durables and electronics. In recent times,
several theme malls such as Gold Souk (jewellery malls), Wedding Mall, Electronic
Mall, Auto Mall, etc catering to specific needs and occasions have been completed or
announced.
Many top developers are now toying with the idea of developing speciality malls.
Speciality malls are already a success in the West, whereas the concept is in its
DAYANANDA SAGAR BUSINESS SCHOOL
-

20/88
infancy in India. One could venture so far as to say speciality and theme based
retailing will drive the growth of organized retailing in India.
ORGAINSED RETAILING
Organised retailing got a leg up during 2004 with the opening of new format stores,
rapid growth of existing players, start-up of new-generation shopping malls, the
Government's intention of allowing a certain level of foreign direct investment in
retail and the formation of a retailers' association. With consumer sentiment positive
during most of 2004, it led to substantial spending across a number of categories such
as consumer durables, clothing and lifestyle, automobiles and telecom products. At
the beginning of this decade, organised retailing accounted for a mere $2.9 billion in
India. This is only 1.25 per cent of the estimated total retail market. This share has
already grown to 2 per cent.Growth projections for retail business vary widely. Some
studies estimate that by 2007, the share of organised retail in the retail pie will jump
three times to reach 5-6 per cent.
Retail in India largest industry accounting for over 10% of the country GDP and
around 8% of the employment. Retail industry in India is at the cross road. It has
emerged as one of the most dynamic and fast paced industries with several player
entering the market. The future is promising the market is growing government
policies are becoming more favorable and emerging technology and facilitating
operations.
Some key facts retail in India largest industry accounting for over 10% of the country
GDP and around 8% of the employment.
The market size of Indian retail industry is about US $ 312 billion.

promotion would be easier for customer centric marketing. This has lead to the
concept - Customer Perception is the Rule and not Customer Satisfaction.
HUAWEI
Satisfy customers perception is the biggest challenge: In meeting customers'
requirements and measuring customers' satisfaction indexes, customer perception
should be definitely a key consideration. Qualified services in the operation execution
layer, technical management layer and business development layer are necessary. It is
more important to understand customer expectations and make efforts to exceed their
expectations. In customer satisfaction management, the biggest challenge is customer
perception management, or customer perception satisfaction. The major
characteristics of service is intangible, hence the core value of services is not like a
physical product but the spiritual experience and perception of customers. The final
aim and ideal effect of service provisioning is to have customers perceive and enjoy
the service. Such perception is both at psychological and behavior levels, and it is the
contents of high quality life in the modern society. Customers are seeking for
material deliverables as well as perceptive enjoyment when purchasing a service
product. Since perceptive enjoyment is a vital service objective, one of the key
service management objectives shall be meeting customers' perceptive enjoyment.

Food Bazaarscore concept is to create a blend of a typical Indian Bazaar and
International supermarket atmosphere with the objective of giving the customer all
the advantages of Quality, Range and Price associated with large format stores and
also the comfort to See, Touch and Feel the products.
'FOOD BAZAAR' a division of Pantaloon Retail India Ltd is a chain of large
supermarkets with a difference. It was flagged off in April'02.With store sizes
ranging from 8,000 sq ft to 15,000 sq. ft. in Mumbai (two stores), Kolkata, Bangalore
& Hyderabad, it is opening more stores at Gurgaon (Delhi), New Bombay & Nagpur.
It currently caters to over 1.2 million customers every day across 4 outlets in India
and is soon set to expand and double this figure across 8 outlets all over the country
by June 2003.
Food Bazaar offers the Indian consumer the best of Western and Indian values. The
western values of convenience, cleanliness and hygiene are offered through pre
packed commodities and the Indian values of "See- Touch- Feel" are offered through
the Mandi atmosphere created by displaying staples out in the open, all at very
economical and affordable prices without any compromise on quality. This satisfies
the Indian consumer and comforts her before making her final buying decision. At
other super markets, the consumer is deprived of this factor.
Truly the Indian consumer now agrees with Food Bazaar:"Ab Ghar Chalaana
kitna Aasaan.
Food Bazaar represents the companys entry into food retail and is

provide the much important touch & feel factor which Indian housewives are used
to in the local bazaar. Food Bazaar has over 50,000 stock keeping units which cover
grocery, FMCG products, milk products, juices, tea, sugar, pulses, masalas, rice
wheat etc, besides fruits and vegetables. All products are sold in MRP or at discounts

( Rs.60000 pm) that
constitute only 5%. The lower income level of people coming to big bazaar
constitutes of 20%. 25% of people belong to no income group which mostly consists
of students.
Interpretation: Big bazaar is the hub of shopping for middle level income
group people because of its reasonable price on its each product category. The higher
level income group people dont prefer to do shopping in big bazaar as it doesnt deal
with branded products. The higher level income group people are very status
conscious and their psychology is such type that they dont prefer much to visit big
bazaar as it is a discounted store. The lower income group people come in to big
bazaar as they get goods at a discounted price. Hence big bazaar should include
branded products in its product category which will encourage higher income group
people to come in to big bazaar. Probably not much of lower income group people
come to big bazaar as they dont like to have any shopping experience rather they just
go for nearby store where they can get their necessity goods. Even they purchase
goods on a regular basis on a small quantity. So they dont have much interest to
come to big bazaar and do shopping.

Interpretation: From this analysis I come to know that most of the people
tend to visit garment outlets in a mall other than big bazaar as it has some exclusive
branded outlets. People also go for footwear stores as malls have branded footwear
stores in it. People go for watching movies to mall for entertainment. Yet a few
people visits gift corners and jewellery stores in a mall. This is of course a threat for
big bazaar that it is not able to attract customers from other retail outlets and retain
them with it. Big bazaar should definitely include more of branded products in its
product category in order to bring in the customers of mall to it and retain them with
it. It can include some of the exclusive branded outlets of cloths and jewellery in it in
order to attract the brand choosy customers.

Analysis: This chart clearly indicates that the demand for grocery that is 70% is
highest by the customers followed by clothes rated 60%. The next highest demand is
for food items that is 50%. 25% demand is for leather items in big bazaar. Electronic
items holds 15% of demand and gift items and other items has a demand of only 10%
by the customers of big bazaar.
Interpretation:From this analysis I interpret that customers demand are high
for grocery and clothes followed by food items in big bazaar. Electronic items have a
little demand by the customers. Gift items and other items are not much in demand by
the customers. I can interpret that clothes, grocery and food items are the major
products which hold maximum number of customers. So big bazaar should maintain
its low pricing and product quality to keep hold of the customers and also it should
keep more qualitative products of gift and leather items so that people would go for
more purchase of these items from it. Big bazaar has many local branded products of

grocery and cloths and it is successfully selling it. It should also include branded
products so that more sales can take place.

1000 and only 11% of customers are there who spends less than Rs500 in their visit
to big bazaar.
Interpretation: From this I interpret that most of the customers purchase goods
in bulk which leads them to spend a lot. Volume sales are high in big bazaar.
Customers tend to purchase more goods from big bazaar as it provides goods at a
discounted rate. Probably those persons who spend more in a visit to big bazaar are
purchasing on a monthly basis. Those customers who are spending very less money
that is below Rs 500 are mostly coming in just to move around big bazaar and spend
time. In the process they used to spend money on food items and also purchase some
products while roaming in it. Impulse buying behavior of customers comes in to play
to a large extent. More discounts shall be provided to people who does bulk purchase.
This will encourage people to purchase more products.

Analysis: People spend a lot of time in shopping in big bazaar. Majority of the
respondents (35%) said that they spend at least 1 hour to 1 hours in big bazaar.
22% respondents also said that they spend 1 hours to 2 hours in their visit to big
bazaar. Only 10% of people said that they spend very little time that is less than half
an hour in big bazaar.
Interpretation: As per the given data I interpret that customers are very product
choosy now a days and thats why they spend a lot of time in shopping in big bazaar.
Probably customers might even be spending more time in big bazaar as it provides a
very nice ambience and atmosphere for the people to shop in. Hence those persons
who spend half an hour or less than half an hour in big bazaar are those persons who
just come to purchase limited products and come only because of low pricing of
products. People also spend much time in it but purchase very few goods. The sales
personnel should focus on the people who take long time in shopping and purchases a
lot and provide special kind of service to them as they are the major customers.

Interpretation: I can clearly interpret from this that most of the people tend to
visit big bazaar in weekends rather than that of week days. There are more footfalls in
big bazaar in weekends than that of week days. Though there is not much difference
as 40% of people visit big bazaar in week days hence in weekends the footfall

increases by 10%. As people come more in weekends, so big bazaar should keep it
open for more time in week ends. The infrastructure can be changed a bit in week
ends so that customers can see more products clearly and can move around
comfortably. In order to bring in more number of customers in week days big bazaar
should provide some schemes in week days which will encourage people to come in
to it in week days also. Hence the crowd is more in weekends and big bazaar should
avail more parking spaces for its customers in weekends. It can make some
temporary arrangement for parking every weekend. It should not spend much money
in advertising and displaying of products in weekdays rather it should advertise and
display products more in weekends as more number of people comes in weekends.

bazaar in evening time than that of the day time. Only 25% of people tend to visit big
bazaar during day time while 75% of people tend to visit big bazaar during after noon
time.
Interpretation: From the above analysis I interpret that evening time is the
peak time for big bazaar and day time is the off peak time for big bazaar. There is
more number of people found in big bazaar during evening time than that of day
time. Probably more of products are being sold during evening time in big bazaar
than that of day time. Big bazaar shall provide some special offerings during day time
so that more people should come in during day time. It could offer some special kind

will bring in more number of people during day time for getting the special kind of

Analysis: As shown in the graph out of my total respondents of 80, 50% of
customers come to big bazaar with a planned list of products. 40% of people come in
to big bazaar without any planned list of products to be purchased from big bazaar.
Interpretation: As per the data obtained from the customers of big bazaar I
interpret that most of the customers comes in to big bazaar with a planned list of
products. Few customers come to big bazaar without any planned list of products and
purchases products depending on their selection. These people basically come to the
mall and hence get in to big bazaar. Depending on the product category and brand
and quality of products they purchases goods. Some couples come to mall and go to
food bazaar to have food together and to have chit chat among them. The customer
who comes with a planned list of products purchases more products than that of the
customers who comes without any planned list of products. So big bazaar should
provide more variety and essential goods so that more number of people should come
in with a planned list of products.

Interpretation:From this I interpret that customers dont opt for much brand
preference while purchasing products in big bazaar. A few customers search for
brands but depending on the product category. Customers probably dont decide for
brands on products as there are not much of known branded products available at big
bazaar. On product categories like grocery and clothes, big bazaar has many local
branded products. Customers purchase a lot of these as its cheap in price even though
its quality is not so good. As most of the customers belong to lower class and middle
class people, they purchase those local branded products as it gives them value for
money. Different products of the same category have different prices. Quality of
products varies with the price. This enables customization of products for various
types of customers. Customers search for brands mostly in apparel section. Some
customers also pre decides the brand on the local manufactured grocery and food
products of big bazaar. Big bazaar should include more of the branded products in its
each category so that customers have more options to choose among the brands. This
will bring in more number of people to big bazaar which will definitely increase the
sales.

branded electronic products are available in big bazaar. The customers pre decides
brands on cloths and grocery most as big bazaar produces much of local brands and

people make cash payment in big bazaar. 19% of them uses credit card as their mode
of payment and 26% of the people makes payment in big bazaar through their debit

Interpretation: As per the obtained data I interpret that more number of people

payment in big bazaar and a very few people uses their debit card for payment. I can
interpret that quick exchange of money for goods is done in big bazaar as most of the
people mode of payment is cash payment. Hence sometimes big bazaar has to wait
for a short time period as some of the customers make their payment through credit
and debit card.

products under one roof. It is also clearly known that big bazaar sales its goods at a
discounted price as compared to the market. Even it provides a good service and
ambience to its customers which encourages them to visit big bazaar more and more
times. I can also interpret from this that big bazaar has located itself in a good place
from where it is able to attract customers. As a hypermarket which is to be located far
off the city, big bazaar has located itself in a good place from where it is convenient
for people to visit big bazaar. Big bazaar should try and produce more qualitative
products so that customers can get more satisfaction and would never think of not
doing shopping in big bazaar.

Analysis: As it is shown in pie chart most of the people say big bazaar does not
provide adequate parking space. Equal number of people also says that adequate
space is provided for parking big bazaar. Only 10% of people say that more than
adequate space is available for parking in big bazaar.
Interpretation: Analyzing the above data, I interpret that customers are not
satisfied with the parking space availability provided by big bazaar. Hence its a
threat for big bazaar as it may loose its customers because of less parking space
availability. Even though many customers say adequate space is available for parking
in big bazaar but also it is a threat for big bazaar as it is seen more number of people
are expected to come in to big bazaar. In holidays probably it will be very difficult for
customers to park their vehicle in big bazaar.
