Risks of Retail 

The industry recognizes “its all about location” but needs to address other critical success factors – – – – – –

Supply side chain management to increase productivity of inventory Overhead control which tends to balloon particularly in the early stages of growth Over crowding as evidenced by mushrooming mall development in metros and mini metros Technology Implementation helping in real time or at least end of day information transfer Recent influx in the retail sector has resulted in shortage of skilled and experienced manpower Customer Retention

14

Financing Requirement 

Indian retail sector is highly fragmented with 12 million retail outlets spread across the country. 80% of these are run by small families using only household labor



It is estimated that more than $3 Billion capex per annum is required to finance the growth of organised retail

15

Financing Requirement…(Contd) 

The Question now is “Who will Fund the Big Retail expansion” – Private Equity – Capital Market – Indian Corporate houses – FDI in Retail Sector – Banks and Institutions



India has emerged as the most attractive destination for mass merchant and food retailers outperforming China 2 years in a row according to global consulting firm A T Kearney



Most of the developed nations are today showing signs of saturation and hence multinationals are looking at virgin territories to abode and expand the market

16

Private Equity 

Indian retail is currently dominated by entrepreneurs, families and a few corporate houses



They are not used to the professionalism that this industry demands but are adapting and changes in the industry eg Pantaloon, Shopper’s Stop, Trent, Lifestyle, Subhiksha, Nilgiris, Trinethra, Fabmall, Vijay Sales, VLCC to name a few
