    Executive Summary

    Retailing is the interface between the producer and theindividual consumer buying for personal consumption.

    This excludes direct interface between the manufacturerand institutional buyers such as the government andother bulk customers. A retailer is one who stocks theproducers goods and is involved in the act of selling it tothe individual consumer, at a margin of profit. As such,retailing is the last link that connects the individual

    consumer with the manufacturing and distribution chain.The retail industry in India is of late often being hailed asone of the sunrise sectors in the economy. AT Kearney,the well-known international management consultancy,recently identified India as the first most attractive retaildestination globally from among thirty emergentmarkets. It has made India the cause of a good deal ofexcitement and the cynosure of many foreign and

    domestic eyes. The entry of foreign and Indian retailgiants like Wal-Mart, Metro, Reliance, Birla, Tata etc.made Indian market more competitive which is at cutthroat level. So how retailers can reach to their endcustomers, to win the mind share and increase thebasket size of each shopping trip.India retail industry is the largest industry in India, withan employment of around 8% and contributing to over

    10% of the country's GDP. Retail industry in India isexpected to rise 25% yearly being driven by strongincome growth, changing lifestyles, and favourabledemographic patterns.

    It is expected that by 2016 modern retail industry in Indiawill be worth US$ 175- 200 billion. India retail industry isone of the fastest growing industries with revenue

    expected in 2007 to amount US$ 320 billion and is

    increasing at a rate of 5% yearly. A further increase of 7-8% is expected in the industry of retail in India by growthin consumerism in urban areas, rising incomes, and asteep rise in rural consumption. It has further beenpredicted that the retailing industry in India will amountto US$ 21.5 billion by 2010 from the current size of US$7.5 billion.

    The growth of scope in the Indian retail market is mainlydue to the change in the consumers behaviour. For thenew generation have preference towards luxurycommodities which have been due to the strong increasein income, changing lifestyle, and demographic patternswhich are favourable.

    satisfy him or her, this concept gaining more momentumand importance today.

    More than a century ago, the father of our nation,Mahatma Gandhi, had made visionary and deepmeaningful statement at Johannesburg, South Africa in1980. A customer is the most important visitor ofour premises. He is not dependent on us .We aredependent on him He is not interruption on ourwork. He is the purpose of it and not an outsideron our premises. He is a part of it. We are notdoing him favour by serving him.

    Today the entire firm engaged in a process of creating alife time value and relationship with customers. Thisreport start with discussion on the diversity of consumerbehaviour and the need for studying consumer buyingbehaviour and consumer as a related field of marketing.this can be largely be attributed to the prevailingmarket situation .Today the company image is built andmade known by its customers. Thus success of the firmdetermined how effective it has been in meeting thediverse consumer need and wants by treating eachcustomer as unique and offering products and services tosuit has or her need.

    Consumer buying behaviour will be a primary force in

    determining how this transition will evolve. Getting closerto the customer in todays highly competitive landscapeis essential for the entire industry and is no longer just aretail issue. It requires all organisations across the supplychain to work as a single enterprise, sensing andresponding rapidly to consumer demand in a co-ordinated manner.

    refining and oil and gas exploration and production - tobe fully integrated along the materials and energy valuechain.

    The Group's activities span exploration and production ofoil and gas, petroleum refining and marketing,

Ambani was one of the firstentrepreneurs to draw retail investors to the stock

    20/80

    RIL, was set up to lead Reliance Groups foray intoorganized retail.

    With a 27% share of world GDP, retail is a significant

    contributor to overall economic activity across the world.Of this, organized retailing contributes between 20% to55% in various developing markets. The Indian retailindustry is pegged at $ 300 billion and growing at over13% per year. Of this, presently, organized retailing isabout 5%. This is expected to grow to 10% by 2011. RRLhas embarked upon an implementation plan to buildstate-of-the-art retail infrastructure in India, which

    includes a multi-format store strategy of openingneighbourhood convenience stores, hypermarkets, andspecialty and wholesale stores across India.

    RRL launched its first store in November 2006 through itsconvenience store format Reliance Fresh. Since thenRRL has rapidly grown to operate 590 stores across 13states at the end of FY 2007-08. RRL launched its first

    initiative in the health and wellness business throughReliance Wellness. In each of these store formats, RRLis offering a unique set of products and services at avalue price point that has not been available so far to theIndian consumer. Overall, RRL is well positioned torapidly expand its existing network of 590 stores whichoperate in 57 cities.

    During the year, RRL also focused on building strongrelationships in the agri-business value chain and has

    20

    commenced marketing fruits, vegetables and staplesthat the company sources directly to wholesalers andinstitutional customers. RRL provides its customers withhigh quality produce that has better shelf life and moreconsistent quality than was available earlier.

    BACK GROUND

    We can see many examples of businesses where, first wegrow and then think of expanding butReliance is quite different. Reliance has developed suchhuge amount of resources and capital over the years thatwhenever it steps into any segment it is not required to

    wait for growing signal, thats why it always thinks ofexpanding without any boundaries. Reliance retail is nextStep by RIL which will be a pan India project.Reliance Fresh is the retail chain division of RelianceIndustries of India which is headed by Mukesh Ambani.Reliance has entered into this segment by opening newretail stores into almost every metropolitan and regionalarea of India. Reliance plans to invest Rs 25000 crores in

    the next 4 years in their retail division and plans to beginretail stores in 784 cities across the country. The RelianceFresh supermarket chain is RILs Rs 25,000 crore ventureand it plans to add more stores across different g, andeventually have a pan-India footprint by year 2011.

    The super marts will sell fresh fruits and vegetables,staples, groceries, fresh juice bars and dairy productsand also will sport a separate enclosure and supply-chain

    for non-vegetarian products. Besides, the stores would

    25

    provide direct employment to 5 lakh young Indians andindirect job opportunities to a million people, according tothe company. The company also has plans to trainstudents and housewives in customer care and qualityservices for part-time jobs.

    The company is planning on opening new stores withstore-size varying from 1,500 sq ft to 3,000 sq ft, whichwill stock fresh fruits and vegetables, staples, FMCGproducts and dairy products. Each store is said to bewithin a radius of 1-2 km of each other, in relation to theconcept of a neighbor store. However, this is only theentry roll-out that the company has planned. Bangalore issaid to have 40 stores in all by the end of the year.In a dramatic change due circumstances prevailing in UP,West Bengal and Orissa, It was mentioned recently inNews Dailies that, Reliance Retail is moving out stocking.Reliance Retail has decided to minimize its exposure inthe fruit and vegetable business and position RelianceFresh as a pure play super market focusing on categorieslike food, FMCG, home, consumer durables, IT, wellnessand auto accessories, with food accounting for the bulk ofthe business.

    The company may not stock fruit and vegetables insome states, Orissa being one of them. Though RelianceFresh is not exiting the fruit and vegetable businessaltogether, it has decided not to compete with localvendors partly due to political reasons, and partly due to

    its inability to create a robust supply chain. This is quitedifferent from what the firm had originally planned. Whenthe first Reliance Fresh store opened in Hyderabad lastOctober, not only did the company said the stores mainfocus would be fresh produce like fruits and vegetables ata much lower price, but also spoke at length about itsfarm-to-fork theory. The idea the company spoke aboutwas to source from farmers and sell directly to the

    consumer removing middlemen out of the way.

    STEPS IN WTS MODEL:

    1) Reliance has owned farms on contract basis forproduction of specific crop which is decided afterextensive research depending on

    SOIL CONDITIONS,

    CLIMATE CONDITIONS,

    RETURN OVER COSTS INCURRED.So as to yield best possible results.

    2) Different vegetables and fruits from such farms arecollected through reliance own

    SWOT ANALYSIS

    The Indian retail market accounted for $ 200 billions.Food accounts for over two-thirds of the $200-billionIndian retail market. Yet, it has seen less than 1 per centpenetration by modern retail so far.Reliance industries which always looking for newbusiness opportunities just started a new era with itsintroduction of new concept stores named Reliance

    Fresh with opening convince store in high streets ofBanjara hills of Hyderabad. Reliance Fresh is verydifferent from what modern retail has offered in India sofar and with this reliance is planning to establish strongretail network in India in food and farm sector. Theyhave started with new eleven stores in the last week andthey are thinking to add 100 more stores to their featherby the end of this year.

    Lets do a SWOT analysis on the Reliance Fresh.

    Strengths:

    Reliance is the first into enter into this unorganizedsector of vegetables and fruits. According to them its

    intentions to have100% farm fresh foods in their newretail stores. It is also adding shortly a juice bar, andeven a large counter for puja flowers. In fact, over 60 percent of the floor space has been dedicated to fresh fruitsand vegetables, the rest to other food products likestaples, spices, bakery, etc. But reliance has decided notto add any bar soap or toothpaste and detergent in itsshelves. So by using this strategy they are positioning

    themselves different from other players of the industries

    32

  • 7/29/2019 tearm paper on reliance fresh

    33/80

    like Food world, Big Bazaar and Nilgiris. But over comethe short comings of these specialized stores they arealso introducing new Reliance full-fledged supermarketcalled Shakhari Bhandar which offers each andeverything from the staple to soap. Most of the staplesare under its own private label brand RelianceSelect. There is a 500g channa dal pack priced at Rs 28,a 500g urad dal pack for Rs 39, all under Reliances ownbrand. Excepting a few packets of Nestles Maggi, orMTRs masalas or Pepsis Lays chips, there is very littleshelf space given to the big brand owners in the country.Reason: private labels offer far better profit margin tothe retailer than branded products of FMCG companies.Most of these outlets will need only 2,000-5,000 sq. ft. Asupermarket may need as much as 8,000-10,000 sq. ft.

    Weakness:

    This is definitely an interesting business venture but itmay miss out on the opportunity to capture a greatershare of the customers wallet. For customers, too, thiscould be irksome, as they would have to visit anotherstore to pick up essentials. Reliance could easily fix thisproblem by adding a few small counters for some basicnon-food products. According to their official this format

    is not final one they are accepting the new changeswhich are required to attract the large number ofcustomers.

    Opportunities

    Reliance wants to build a high-profitability business and

    food is, perhaps, the best venture to start. That isbecause the Indian food supply chain is grossly

    33

  • 7/29/2019 tearm paper on reliance fresh

    34/80

    inefficient. There are several intermediaries, each ofwhom adds his own profit margin to the cost. Besides,there is huge wastage in transit. This offers potential forsavings and profits. To reduce the cost and increase theprofit it has been sourcing out its requirements from thefarmers. For example, the leafy vegetables, brinjals,tomatoes and green chilies in the Banjara Hills outletwere sourced directly from farmers in Vantimamdi,Chevella and nearby mandals in Ranga Reddy district ofAndhra Pradesh. The supply chain already has beenbacked by few hundred farmers the number is estimatedto touch million in next five years. The main aim of thereliance is to eliminate the intermediaries in the sectorand reduce the cost. Smaller stores have twoadvantages. They bring down the cost of real estate(and increase profits). It is easier to find space for smallconvenience stores in a quiet neighbourhood than forsupermarkets in high streets.

    Threats:

    This model is engineered to clock a faster turnover ofinventory Reliance expects consumers to visit thestore at least twice a week for their top-up groceries.Each store will have an investment of Rs 50 lakh to Rs

    60 lakh. Unlike global retailers who operate on thinmargins, Reliance Retail is looking at a fairly high-marginbusiness model. Deliberately stopped short of being afull-fledged supermarket rather, it has limited itself to afood and grocery convenience store. They also have athreat from the existing supermarkets which provides allthe services to its customers. For Example Food worldand Nilgiris also provides food and beverages with other

    personal care products. These convince are not existedin the present Reliance retail stores.

    CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

    Today when most of the companies are busy in makingprofits by any means, there are fewOnes who are focused to return this society, a part ofwhat they have earned through this society. Relianceretail is one of them. Following efforts of reliance retailare aimed at benefiting the society making reliancesocially responsible:

    1) Reliance Retail aims at recruiting people from theunderprivileged community in society. "Hence, weare planning to train students from corporationschools and schools run by NGOs. And, we consider

    this as a part of our corporate social responsibility,"he said.Asked whether the company will take students on

    an employment basis and pay them a stipendduring the course period, he said that actually, it isplanning to charge a "small fee" from those whowant to join the course "as we want to bring in somediscipline and regularity among the students", and

    will reimburse that once they are inducted intoservice.

    35

  • 7/29/2019 tearm paper on reliance fresh

    36/80

    2) Farming in India is highly fragmented and

    subject to harsh climatic conditions: once harvested,it is very difficult to keep fruits and vegetables fresh.

    To secure high quality, Reliance Retail is directlysourcing fresh agricultural produce from thousandsof farmers from villages through Collection Centers.

    With this concept, Reliance has built a businessmodel generating shared value that links thecompany supply chain more closely to poor farmersin Indian villages. Reliance is providing a guaranteedmarket for the farmers produce, reducingtransaction costs and training the farmers in betterand sustainable farming practices. This initiativeresults in higher income and upgrading of skills forthe farmers, and reduced spoilage of produce (up to35 percent) and better quality products f or Relianceretail stores.

    3) Reliance retail has adopted farm to fork theorywhich means it is procuring directly from the farmersthus offering them quite reasonable prices for theirproduce as now no intermediaries are involved. Inreturn Reliance is giving farmers information about howcan farmers improve their productivity. They havecenters in villages who apart from providing information

    make farmers aware of market rates of different crops sothat farmers can choose crops they want to sow tobecome profitable. Farmers are provided technical helpas well like information about quality of seeds andfertilizers.

    Reference groups can have potent influence on

    behaviour in general, and they may also be very

    influential on consumer behaviour, considering the

    Consumer Goods Segment. Family and friends in

    specific are considered before making a decision aboutpurchasing a product. But their purchase decision

    depends completely on self-opinion.

    Where reference groups influence is operative, the

    advertiser should stress not only the people who buy the

    49

  • 7/29/2019 tearm paper on reliance fresh

    50/80

    product but also those who influenced the purchasing

    decision.

    The process may be viewed as starting when the

    consumer engages in problem recognition. Problem

    recognition occurs when the consumer is activated by

    awareness of a sufficient difference between his / her

    concept of ideal situation. The action occurs only when

    the consumer perceives a sufficiently large discrepancy

    between the actual and ideal states.

    Given that the consumer is aroused to action, the nextstate is internal search for a quick and largelyunconscious review of memory for stored information andof an experience regarding the problem. This informationin the form of beliefs and attitude influence theconsumers preference towards band. If an internalsearch does not provide sufficient information about

    Products, or how to evaluate them, the consumer

    continues with a more involved external search for

    information.

    Any information stimuli are then subjected to information

    processing activities. This process involves allocating

    attention to available stimuli, deriving meaning from

    these stimuli. The alternating evaluation phase involves

    comparing the information gained in the search process

    50

  • 7/29/2019 tearm paper on reliance fresh

    51/80

    for alternative product and brands to the product judging

    criteria on standards the consumer has developed. When

    such a comparison leads to favourable evaluations, the

    consumer is likely to develop a purchase intention

    towards that alternative that received the most

    favourable evaluation.

    A purchase process follows strong purchasing intentions.

    This involves a series of selection, including the type of

    retail outlet as well the specific brand on service to use.

    The consumers purchase then leads to various

    outcomes. One such outcome is satisfaction as a result of

    direct experience in using the brands. Satisfaction will

    affect the consumers belief about the brand. Other

    outcome is dissatisfaction and post sale doubt.

    Many ad agencies conducted an in-depth study ofconsumer buying behaviour and found that they all cravefor peer acceptance and parental non-influence. Beyondthis they are an enigma
