  EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Retailing is a distribution channel function where one organization buys products fromsupplying firms or manufactures the product themselves, and then sells these directly

to consumers. An effective store format or store type gives you the basis for delivering

a specific offer to a customer type. You can then build your retail planning on all the

 processes needed to organise the format. Retail vision can help you define your store

formats based on your customer types, your store locations and sizes. The country’s

dynamic retail landscape presents a grand opportunity to investors within the country

and from across the globe, to use India as a strategic business and consumer hub.

With the changing face of retail, the Indian consumer industry is in for radical growth.

Let us begin with a primer on the various formats that retail outlets come in. This report

on the Retail Industry in India gives a comprehensive overview of the Retail Sector,

growth, opportunities and how the Retail Industry is adapting to the economic

downturn. The report talks about the various retail formats that are present and are

emerging in the Retail Industry in India and the various strategies adopted by the big

retail companies in India. This report on the Retail Industry in India gives a

comprehensive overview of the Retail Sector, growth, opportunities and how the Retail

Industry is adapting to the economic downturn. The report talks about the various retail

formats that are present and are emerging in the Retail Industry in India and the various

strategies adopted by the big retail companies in India. It also touches upon the entry of 

International Retail Players into the Indian Retail Market and the forays of organized

retail into rural areas.

Variety in retailing, few explicit models describe retail format determination as an

equilibrating market mechanism. Our model describes the determination of one aspect

of retail formats (namely, the extent of one-stop shopping). Our hope is that similar 

approaches can be used to describe other aspects and types of emergent retail formats.

We estimate our model using U.S. aggregate annual data for a 26-year period, and later 

corroborate parts of the analysis using cross-sectional data for the 48 contiguous states

of the U.S. The equilibrium conditions of our model translate into a system of two

equations with two endogenous variables. Estimates of the reduced form parameters

 provide our central empirical finding—that per capita disposable income has had a

significant positive effect on both supermarket assortment (as expected from our 

model) and store operating costs (perhaps somewhat less expected). This suggests that

greater prevalence of one-stop shopping has been a response to growing demand for 

time-saving convenience.

Evolution of retail formats

Retail business is the largest private industry in the world generating sales of 

approximately USD 6.6 trillion. Traditional retail stores are evolving into modern

formats such as shopping malls. Along with a change in the business formats, there is

also a drastic change in the customer expectations, making them choosier, and more

demanding.

BY: IMAGES RETAIL MAGAZINE

A Model of Retail Formats Based on Consumers' Economizing on

Shopping Time

The key endogenous parameter of our model describes the number of categories carried by

a store. In the context of grocery retailing, this parameter can distinguish between a single-

category specialty store, a simple grocer, a supermarket, and a large superstore. This

 parameter is determined by the interplay of consumers economizing on shopping time and

retail competition in the presence of technological constraints which relate operating cost

with assortment size.

MEANING OF RETAIL FORMATS -

Retailing is a distribution channel function where one organization buys products from

supplying firms or manufactures the product themselves, and then sells these directly to

consumers

The format, together with range, pricing and marketing, is one of the key determinants

of a retailer's success. Of these, the format is very often the hardest to get right. A good

format will both draw in customers , generating footfall and help present products well

to generate sales.

Because the format is so important, growth investors can often benefit by identifying

smaller retailers who have recently developed formats that are good enough to provide

a platform for sustained growth.

RETAIL FORMAT IN INDIA -

India is in the throes of a retail revolution that is leading the New World Order and

taking everyone by surprise. The country’s dynamic retail landscape presents a grand

opportunity to investors within the country and from across the globe, to use India as a

strategic business and consumer hub. With the changing face of retail, the Indian

consumer industry is in for radical growth. Let us begin with a primer on the various

formats that retail outlets come in. A ‘Vibrant Economy’, India topped A T Kearney’s

list of emerging markets for retail investments for three consecutive years and stood

2nd only behind Vietnam this year. The 2nd fastest growing economy in the world, the

3rd largest economy in terms of GDP in the next 5 years and the 4th largest economy in

PPP terms after USA, China & Japan, India is rated among the top 10 FDI destinations.

Over the last few years Indian retail has witnessed rapid transformation in many areas

of the business by setting scalable and profitable retail models across categories. Indian

consumers are rapidly evolving and accepting modern retail formats. There is strongemergence of India specific retail formats irrespective of the size. For example,

13

8/2/2019 Minor Project Report Guidelines Repaired)

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/minor-project-report-guidelines-repaired 14/37

hypermarkets, supermarkets or convenience stores that are emerging in India today are

specifically designed for the Indian consumer. New and indigenised formats such as

departmental stores, hypermarkets, supermarkets, specialty and convenience stores, and

malls, multiplexes and fun zones are fast dotting the retail landscape. Following are the

kinds of retail formats found in India.

This report on the Retail Industry in India gives a comprehensive overview of the Retail

Sector, growth, opportunities and how the Retail Industry is adapting to the economic

downturn. The report talks about the various retail formats that are present and are

emerging in the Retail Industry in India and the various strategies adopted by the big

retail companies in India. It also touches upon the entry of International Retail Players

into the Indian Retail Market and the forays of organized retail into rural areas.

DEVELOPMENT OF RETAIL FORMATS-

It is difficult to fit a successful internet format directly and expect a similar 

 performance in India. The lesson from multinational expanding to new geographical

 point to this. for example Walmart is a success full in USA but story is different in

Asian country like china. Therefore it is important for retailer to look at local condition

and inside into the local buying behavior before shaping the format choice. Considering

the diversity in term of taste and preference existing in India the retail may go for 

experiment to identifying the winning formats suited to different geographical and

segment. For example the taste is different from the taste of north and this is bring

challenges to the retailers. Now a no. of retailer are in mode of experimentation and try

to several format which are essentially representation of retailing concept to fit into

consumer mind space. Apart from geography even rural and urban divide poses

different kind of challenge to the retailers.

Over the last few years Indian retail has witnessed rapid transformation in many areas

of the business by setting scalable and profitable retail models across categories. Indian

consumers are rapidly evolving and accepting modern retail formats. There is strong

emergence of India specific retail formats irrespective of the size. For example,

hypermarkets, supermarkets or convenience stores that are emerging in India today are

specifically designed for the Indian consumer.

Retail buzz on rise in the chennai

CHENNAI faces a shortage of quality retail space with good signage but still attracts

high-powered brands and national retailers.

Information technology has been the driving factor for the increase in real estate

activity.

In the commercial sector, more than 11 million sq.ft of A-grade space is being added in

the next two years. Two malls under construction will add about eight lakh sq.ft of 

retail space in the city. The existing malls in Chennai are reporting high footfalls due to

congestion in prime shopping areas such as Pondy Bazaar and Purasawakkam.

More malls: Three malls-cum-multiplexes would come up along East Coast Road

(ECR), which has evolved as a prime entertainment destination of Chennai. Three malls

are likely to come up along the Old Mahabalipuram Road (OMR), which has potential

for retail and residential space due to increased IT activities.

Other than these, in the developing residential areas such as Velachery, Mogappair an

Korattur, three to four malls are likely to come up. Other potential areas for retail

development are along GST road and the Bangalore Highway.

By early 2011, Chennai is likely to have at least 12 to 15 malls with multiplex catering

not only to high-end segment but also to other middle-income groups, the study said.

Retail areas: Retail activity in Chennai is primarily concentrated in and around Nungambakkam, Cathedral Road and T Nagar. Some other prominent retail areas are

Anna Nagar, Adyar, Besant Nagar, Purasawakkam and Mylapore.

The majority of the silk and jewellery retail is in T Nagar. Most of the new brands put

T Nagar at the top for showroom space, though lately the area has become too

congested and there is no quality space available for new players. According to the

study, the rental rates in Pondy Bazaar are between Rs 50 and Rs 70 per sq.ft, North

Usman Road Rs 30 - 60 per sq.ft and G.N. Chetty Road Rs 30-45 sq.ft.

High rates: On Nungambakkam High Road besides branded stores such as Reebok,

Samsonite and Land Mark, Ispahani Centre with 54,000 sq.ft has a mix of retail andoffice space. The most recent entry on this road is Marks & Spencer.

Residential areas like Alwarpet, Cathedral Road and RK Salai are fast developing into

up-market retail destinations.

The rentals on TTK Road are between Rs 30 and Rs 50 per sq ft and on CP

Ramaswamy Road between Rs 25 and Rs 40 per sq ft. The rentals on RK Salai are

 between Rs 65 and Rs 75 per sq ft while rates on Cathedral Road Rs 60 - Rs 80 per sq

ft. Levi Strauss is planning four exclusive Signature showrooms in the city.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/minor-project-report-guidelines-repaired 25/37

More demand: Second Avenue in Anna Nagar is buzzing with high street retail

activity. Space is becoming scarce and demand increasing. This location serves the

western part of the city and has a price range between Rs 65 and Rs 70 per sq ft.

Besant Nagar is also growing in retail activity on the Second Avenue.

The Spencer Plaza, which started with a built up area of 3,00,000 sq ft, has now

 become the mega mall of city with 1.05 million sq ft. The pricing has gone up from Rs

18 to Rs 22 per sq ft per month in 1991 to the current Rs 60-100 per sq ft per month.

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY – 

The study has attempted to delve into some of the important issues on “study on the

various formats of retail store in Chennai”. however it is attempted that there are some

limitations in the conduct of this study which are as follow:

The study has been under taken on an all Chennai basis but it was not possible to visit

whole of Chennai for this purpose and study is restricted only to selected area, because

the quantitative information was very difficult to obtain some of the empirical

investigations could not be carried out in detail because of non availability of relevant

information for undergoing those investigation.

Sampling error can also bea possibility

These appearance to be little update information on as a lot of changeshave taken place

 but were no incorporated. Most of these are off-shoots of the self imposed restriction

during the process of research in order to keep the research within manageable limits as

time was short.
