Kirana, Mom and Pop, and family owned retail shopsrepresent bulk of the retail business in India These are usually shops with a very small area stocking a
limited range of products, varying from region to regionaccording to the needs of the clientele
About 78% of these retail stores are small family-owned
businesses utilising only household labour Even among retail enterprises that employ hired workers,the bulk of them use less than three workers
These are low cost structures, mostly owner-operated, withnegligible real estate and labour costs and little or no taxesto pay
