JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SELECTION OF THIS

PROJECT AND TITLE

Pantaloon Retail (India) Limited, is India’s leading retailer that operates multiple retail

formats in both the value and lifestyle segment of the Indian consumer marker, along

with some other big names such as RPG, Shopper’s Stop, Life Style, Westside, Ebony,

Piramyd etc.

The reason why I chose this sector is because as there are huge opportunities in this

sector in the coming years. India was not into retail before 10 years from now but now it

is very much into organized retailing. There is cut through competition in this field. Every

alternate day we hear of a new companies getting into Retail sector, where this makes

competition tough. I felt if I have experience in Pantaloon than I would be equipped to

face the challenges that will come across while working in this sector.

I was in marketing along with Customer Loyalty Program. I felt that while doing out

marketing projects for the Pantaloon store I will have well expose & experience of this

field. I got to learn a lot about retailing, marketing in retail sector, knowing different

people, how exactly product reaches final consumer, how all theses things are decided

and how. This is the reason why Retail sector influences me the most. Since I was

involved into marketing for different event of the store where all the parameters has to be

considered which made this project more challenging & interesting.

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

Objective of the Retail store Marketing was to make customers aware about the

Sale offers during Denim Exchange and EOSS i.e. End Of Season Sale

provided by Pantaloon and also to achieve the Green Card target of Customer

loyalty Program during EOSS.

To provide extra privileges to Pantaloons Green Card customers - keeping in

mind that they get extra privileges not only inside the store of Pantaloons, but

also outside the store and to make the Pantaloon Customer Loyalty Program

more powerful by doing tie-ups with Restaurants, Health-Clubs, Saloons, Pubs,

colleges, Laundries, Tattoos Makers.

To make Green Card Members realize that they are Special customers for the

company.

To find out customer loyalty for Pantaloon store

To find out customer satisfaction

INTRODUCTION

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND

India, like Britain, is a nation of shopkeepers. With over 12 million retail

outlets, India probably has the highest density of retail outlets in the world,

with one for approximately every 90 persons; little wonder that the country

is the ninth-largest retail market in the world, with estimated annual retail

sales of around USD215 billion in 2005 (Rs 960,000 crore). At the same

time, the share of organised trade in this enormous market is currently very

small. It is estimated at just USD8 billion (Rs 35,000 crore) in 2005, up from

USD6.25 billion (Rs 28,000 crore) in 2004. This accounts for less than 4 per

cent of the total retail trade in the country

AN UNDERDEVELOPED RETAIL MARKET

Organised trade in India is very underdeveloped when compared with other

emerging markets in Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe.

The Indian and Chinese markets are comparable in many aspects:

Both countries are not homogeneous. They comprise many markets within a

single country, with significantly varying cultures and customer preferences

across regions.

There is a significant rural population in both countries, which has much

lower purchasing power compared to the urban population.

Both countries are geographically very large and unevenly developed,

adding a significant distribution and logistics dimension to the retail trade.

Consumers in both countries are highly value conscious.

Between 1996 and 2003, the organised retail market in China more than

doubled. We estimate that the Indian retail market is today at the same

inflection point as China was in the mid-1990s. Consequently, considering a

similar per capita GDP and roughly similar rates of economic growth, the

Indian organised retail market has the potential for exponential growth over

the next decade.

CONSUMERISM: THE NEW WAVE

Growing consumerism would be a key driver for organised retail in India.

Several demographic indicators show favourable trends for the growth of

organised trade:

Rapid income growth: consumers have a greater ability to spend.

Increasing urbanization: larger urban populations that value convenience,

coupled with the higher propensity of the urban consumer to spend.

Growing young population: growth of the post-liberalization maturing

population, with the attitude and willingness to spend.

Spend now vs. save earlier: consumers are willing to borrow for present

consumption.

THE SIZE OF THE OPPURTUNITY

Research done by the Tata Strategic Management Group (TSMG) indicates

that over the next 10 years, the total retail market in India is likely to grow at

a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5 per cent (at constant

prices) to USD374 billion (Rs 16,77,000 crore) in 2015. The organised retail

market is expected to grow much faster, at a CAGR of 21.8 per cent to

USD55 billion (Rs 246,000 crore) in the same time frame, garnering around

15 per cent of overall retail sales. Based on our projections, the top five

organised retail categories by 2015 would be food, grocery and general

merchandise; apparel; durables; food service; and home improvement.

(Table 1) Organised retail market in India (Rs crore)

Retailers inspired by the Wal-Mart story of growth in small town

America are tempted to focus on smaller towns and villages in India.

However, a careful analysis of the town strata-wise population,

population growth, migration trends and consumer spend analysis

reveals a very different picture for India.

As per our estimates, the share of the 35 towns with a present population of

greater than 1 million in India's total population would grow much faster

than their smaller counterparts, from 10.2 per cent today to reach 14.4 per

cent by 2025. Simultaneously, the share of these towns in the overall retail

market would grow from 21 per cent today to 40 per cent by 2025.

Within these top 35 towns, an estimated 70 to 80 per cent of retail

trade could be in the organised sector. This is similar to the

experience in China, where in cities like Shanghai and Beijing, the

organised sector accounts for 70 to 80 per cent of overall retail trade

in certain categories. Retailers should therefore focus on the top 37

towns in the next decade, as the opportunity in smaller towns and

rural India would be smaller and more fragmented, compared to the

larger towns. Organised retail market in India (Table 2)

There are a few key trends that one observes in international markets

TREND1: CONVINENCE STORES AND HYPERMARKETS ARE

GAINING PROMINENCE

These are driven by a consumer need for convenience and lower prices /

higher value in mass categories, while the big box category killer stores are

gaining importance in the specialty retail categories. While supermarkets

may emerge at the initial stages of retail market development, in the long

term they are unable to match the consumer value proposition of

convenience stores and hypermarkets.

TREND2: PRIVATE LABEL BRANDS BECOME IMPORTANT

Private labels today account for 17 per cent of global retail sales,

with the highest share of 23 per cent in Europe and the lowest share

of 4 per cent in Asia. M+M Planet Retail data shows that private label

penetration varies from 25 per cent to 95 per cent among some of

the largest retailers in the world. Growing acceptance among consumers,

increasing price competition, the need for differentiation among retailers

and the ability to offer higher margins are the key factors contributing to the

growth of private labels. Private labels provide the retailer an ability to offer

a significant price advantage to consumers, their prices being 16 to 32 per

cent lower than manufacturers' brands.

IMPLICATIONS OF INDIAN RETAILER

Global trends have important implications for Indian retailers. The Indian

consumer is very value conscious; willing to spend money in most cases,

but constantly cost conscious, evaluating every rupee spent. It is therefore

imperative for retailers to offer a price advantage through sourcing and

operational efficiency, as well as a strong private label programme to attract

customers. Existing and new entrants need to achieve scale quickly to drive

efficiencies in procurement, supply chain and marketing. Else, they risk

being marginalised by larger players.

Real estate and human resources will be the critical drivers to build scale.

While there are a few hundred malls under various stages of development

across the country at present, retailers will also need to think out of the box

to ensure the availability of real estate. This may include acquiring and

developing the real estate themselves, rather than wait for mall

development. Given the rising demand for retail real estate, retailers will

need to take a long-term view on rentals and look at alternative options like

ownership or very long leases. Retailers that invest in training will be able

to ensure the availability of quality manpower in a rapidly growing market.

In conclusion, the retail market in India offers an opportunity for a large

player to build a Rs 40,000-crore retail business spanning multiple

categories by 2015 (at current prices). Compared to this, the revenue of the

largest Indian retailer, Pantaloon, grossed only Rs 1,085 crore in 2005.

Little wonder that large domestic business houses and international retailers

have expressed a keen interest to enter the retail sector in India. To

capitalise on the opportunity, however, players need to be aggressive in

outlook and build scale quickly.

INTRODUCTION OF INDIAN RETAIL KING

MEET INDIA'S KING OF RETAIL

MR. KISHORE BIYANI

Unlike most people, Kishore Biyani makes no bones about his simplicity.

He's the man you're most likely to ignore at the Pantaloon or Big Bazaar

store, as he stands in a corner observing the way you shop. But make no

mistake; what he may lack in sartorial style, he more than makes up through

his observation powers.

You'll never catch him in a tie and jacket. He isn't a stickler for large cars,

and has just graduated from driving a Honda City to a Honda Accord,

though he's just as content driving around in a junior manager's Maruti 800.

He is a strict vegetarian, and is currently off cheese and fried foods, but will

otherwise eat anything that is green.

Pantaloon's Kishore Biyani has become India's largest retailer, but still has

several aces up his John Miller shirtsleeves.

In India's chaotic markets, Kishore Biyani is the unchallenged king of retail.

He has the knack of catching rivals off-guard and striking where it hurts

most.

Biyani's victory isn't unexpected. India's own Sam Walton (the legendary

promoter of Walmart) is quick to seize any advantage. Which is why the

denim manufacturer who quit the trade because "it wasn't creative enough"

commands over 1.3 million sq ft of retail space.

But even size hasn't made a difference to Biyani's vaulting ambitions and

he's on an even faster trajectory of growth. He's booked over 4.5 million sq

ft of space across the country, and will utilise 3 million sq ft by this year's

end in 23 Indian cities.

He will invest over Rs 200 crore (Rs 2 billion) to make this dream a reality.

Says R S Roy, editorial director of the magazine Retail, which tracks the

industry closely: "Mall developers have him in mind before they start

constructing. His presence ensures footfalls and a premium for the mall."

Two years ago, no one took Kishore Biyani seriously. His company,

Pantaloon Retail, was seen as a one-man show. Biyani himself was regarded

as unpredictable, and not a long-term bet. Today, he is the biggest retailer in

India. In two years, Kishore Biyani has bounced back to become India's

largest retailer.

a hypothesis or even a simple question, research is successful when we find

answers. Sometimes the answer is no, but it is still an answer.
