India's Store Wars: Retail Revolution and the Battle for the Next 500 Million Sh | |
On the sidelines of this Indian retail revolution are big overseas players such as Wal–Mart, which already has a tie–up with Bharti to provide much–needed “back office” support. But what Wal–Mart really wants is the right to set up its own stores in India. The same goes for Tesco, Carrefour, Metro and other international players.
While the macro outlook appears bright, the problems are astronomical for India retail industry. There is no reliable cold chain, transport logistics are appalling, there is a huge lack of managerial talent, there is no consistency for quality and quantity of supply, there is political opposition from groups such as market middlemen, the mom and pop "kirana" corner stores have to be catered for, as do the farmers who grow the produce that is integral to a successful retail revolution. How well will these disparate players cope with the various pressures of a dynamic and fast–moving industry?
