The consumers preferences are changing & they are moving from Traditional
Kirana stores to Modern Retail outlet. It’s the main challenge to the Modern retail
outlets to attract the customers towards them from that of competitors. To attract more
customers companies have to carryout the promotional activities in unique way. BIG
BAZAAR has maintained that uniqueness & has succeeded in attracting customers.
The advertisement of the company like TV ads, print media & pamphlets are good
advertisements which made its place in minds of customer to find BIGBAZAAR
differently. As the competition is becoming stiff in the market the activities conducted
by the company are unique, that have brought fruitful result to the company. Among

INDUSTRY PROFILE
INTRODUCTION
Retail is India’s largest industry accounting for over 10 per cent of the country’s
GDP and eight per cent of the employment. The industry in India has emerged
as one of the most dynamic and fast paced ones with several players entering the
market. The Indian retail market is expected to grow from US$ 300+ billion to
US$ 400+ billion at the rate of approximately 7-8% per year by 2010. Driven by
changing lifestyle’s, strong income growth, western influence and favorable
change in demographic patterns, Indian retail is expanding at a rapid pace.
Retail market essentially comprises:
Shopping centers: there is an increase in the number of shopping
centers in both tier-I and tier-II cities. India can expect to have 600
new shopping malls by 2010.
Food retail
Kid’s retail
Agriculture and Floriculture
Electronics goods market.

revenue and wealth for nation, encourages investments and brings technological
advancements.
Stated that “it brings employment and creates wealth of the economy”. “It is a
vibrant part of our changing society and a major source of employment”
Retailing performs activities at larger level so it requires massive manpower to
handle and manage it’s operations. Retailing also helps society in general by
providing goods and services in reasonable price and increasing their standards
of living. “Retailing activity can be viewed as a significant contributor to the
economy in general”.
Retailing is the set of activities that markets products or services to final
consumers for their own personal or household use. It does this by organizing
their availability on a relatively large scale and supplying them to consumers on
a relatively small scale.” Retailing makes products and services available in
large quantities. Retailers produce or order the products/services in bulk so they
can take advantage of economy of scale and thus they can formulate competitive
pricing strategies. Products and services are generally sold through the store or
on the internet.
Introduction to Retail Industry
The first decade of modern retail in India has been characterized by a shift from
traditional kirana shops to new formats including department stores, specialty
stores hypermarkets, and supermarkets and across a range of categories. Modern
retail formats have mushroomed in metros and mini-metros. In the last few
years, modern retail has also established its presence in the small cities,
exposing residents to shopping options like never before.Some of these stores
are branded stores(exclusive showrooms either owned or franchised out by a

manufacturer) , specialty stores(greater choice to consumer, comparison
between brands is possible) , department stores/supermarkets (one stop shop
catering to varied consumer needs) , hyper-mart (low prices , vast choice
available including services such as cafeterias.) , shopping malls (variety of
shops available to each other ).
An overview on Retail Revolution in India
Retail in India is on a cusp of transformation. Organized retailing as a
professional service-oriented set-up, is a recent phenomenon in India but is
growing at a tremendous pace with a potential of creating over 2 million new
(direct) jobs within the next six years, assuming an 8 to 10 per cent share of
organized retailing in the total retail business.
The fast changing retail environment demands that professionals learn new
skills, improve their efficiency, learn to compete and think out of the box. As
retailers work directly with customers and there is need for good managerial
talent to interpret and satisfy the needs and desires of customers. All this
requires an education that is intensive, comprehensive and closely linked to the
retail business world. The need is to have a program which has all the inherent
features of a business management program and includes experiential learning
throughout the program.
Market Trends, Challenges & Opportunities
1. Across BRIC countries, the food and grocery (F&G) segment is clearly
driving retail growth. For eg, retail food sales dominate the total retail
market in Brazil, accounting for almost 54 percent of the total retail
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 12
“A Analysis on Customer of Big-Bazaar”.
sales, while Russia is the fastest growing retail food sales market in the
world, with the potential to again double in size by 2008.
2. The prevalence of English as a language of communication to a very
great extent facilitates material sourcing and business communication.
While India and Russia pose no problems in this regard, Brazil and
China present communication problems for foreign companies.
3. The importance of governments that are quick on decision-making and
passing liberal trade laws cannot be emphasized enough. In China, for
instance, being a non-democratic country makes it easier for foreign
investors to do business sans bureaucratic red-tapism (in comparison to a
democratic country like India), the obvious reason being that the political
establishment is not directly accountable to the people.
4. Growing urbanization and metropolitan saturation is leading to the
expansion of retail formats and investment opportunities towards tier-II
cities and rural hubs across all four countries.
5. Continued economic reforms together with the growth of organised retail
(especially in the F&G segment) have led to growing rural incomes,
triggering off far-reaching, social impacts. The upcoming ‘Golden
Quadrilateral' plan for roadways in India, which is to connect the four
cities of Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai, will have massive
economic and social repercussions on rural and semi-rural clusters along
the vast network. In China too, the government plans to create a rural
retail network covering 70 percent of all villages by 2008.
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 13
“A Analysis on Customer of Big-Bazaar”.
Retail and India
India's imminent urbanization process has implications for demand for
housing, urban infrastructure, location of retail, and demand for consumer
durables.
The on-stream infrastructure development will drive growth in the
transportation sector, spur demand for vehicles, increase real estate values
along the “Golden Quadrilateral” corridor, and potentially boost
construction of suburban homes as people escape congested cities. Plus, it
will open up thousands of villages en route to a global audience and
effectively integrate them with the growing Indian economy.
• Growth of the Retail market, to a great extent, is the dependent on the size of
the country's consuming class and the rate of growth of GDP, especially
disposable incomes.
• India is the world's second most populous country and its GDP growth is likely
to surpass that of China by 2015.
• It is estimated that India's GDP will surpass that of the US before 2050, to
make it the world's second largest economy.
• Reflecting on the robust growth in India's GDP, consumer expenditure (in
current prices) grew at a relatively high pace of nearly 10 percent per annum
over the past two years.
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 14
“A Analysis on Customer of Big-Bazaar”.
• India's advantage lies in the fact that it has the largest young population in the
world – over 890 million Indians are below 45 years of age. The median age for
India is 25 years as compared to 28 years for Brazil, 33 years for China and 38
years for Russia.
• There are more English speaking people in India than on the European
continent.
• The retailing industry in India, estimated at USD 270 Billion in 2006, is
expected to double to USD 440 Billion by 2010.
• The size of the organized retailing market in 2006 stood at USD 12.4 Billion in
2006, thereby making up a mere 4.7 percent of the total retailing market.
• Of the total retail market, food and grocery retail is by far the single largest
block estimated to be worth a whopping Rs.642, 200 crore, but more than 99
percent of this market is dominated by the neighborhood mom & pop stores.
• Clothing, textiles and fashion accessories constitute the second largest block.
• For the year 2007, the India Apparel Report 2007 expects growth of organized
retail to touch 40 percent. From 2008 onwards (until at least 2010), organized
retail is expected to register around 45 percent YoY growth in India.
• Total retail in India, which registered 5.7 percent YoY growth from 2004-
2006, to range between that and 6 percent YoY growth over the next 3-4 years.
• With these growth percentages and following from our estimates for 2006, the
future estimates* for organized retail in India: 2007– Rs.77, 000 crore; 2008 –
Rs.111, 500 crore; 2009 – Rs.162,000 crore; and 2010 – Rs.235,000 crore.
(*Estimates based on 2006 prices).

• In terms of formats, the energy in terms of new investments is expected to be
driven towards the supermarkets and hypermarket segments.
• All new players – Reliance Industries, Bharti Retail/ Wal-Mart, AV Birla
Group – have shown interest towards developing these two formats, along with
wholesale, cash & carry outlets, while India's largest retailer – Retail India Ltd.
– has a continuous store rollout schedule for its Big Bazaar hypermarkets and
Food Bazaar supermarkets.

introduce the concept of the retail departmental store for the entire family

in India with Big Bazaar, a large discount store that it commissioned in Kolkata
in October
2001. And the company introduced the country to the Food Bazaar, a unique
'bazaar' within a hypermarket, which was launched in July 2002 in Mumbai.
Embracing our leadership value, the company launched all in July 2005 in
Mumbai, making us the first retailer in India to open a fashion store for plus size
men and women.

our dreams into reality – that change people’s lives, is our biggest advantage.
Pantaloon is an invitation to join a place where there are no boundaries to what

Sabse Sasta Din
The acceptance and loyalty that Big Bazaar has garnered over the years,
was well evident on 26th January 2006.
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 24
“A Analysis on Customer of Big-Bazaar”.
On the day India celebrates its Republic Day, the company honored the
consumer by calling it the ‘Maha Savings Day’. Shoppers at all Big Bazaar and
Food Bazaar outlets across the country were offered products at prices never
heard before in the history of shopping.
The offers were spread across categories from electronics to utensils,
from apparel to furniture and food. This event received tremendous response
from the regular and an entirely new set of shoppers, which resulted in nearly 2
million people visiting the stores on that day. And most stores were able to post
record sales for a single day.
Pan India Model
Riding on the consumption boom that the country has been witnessing
over the past couple of years, the company further expanded its foray into the
value space by adding 10 stores during the year 2005-06, entering new cities like
Vishakhapatnam, Pune, Lucknow, Indore, Mangalore and Rajkot.
The excellent performance of these new stores, further fortified the mass appeal
of Big Bazaar as a true, family-shopping destination. The total number of Big
Bazaar outlets as on June 2006 stood at 30 stores and over 1.20 million square
feet of retail space.
FASHION FOCUS
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 25
“A Analysis on Customer of Big-Bazaar”.
Big Bazaar continues to be a fashion-led delivery format, with fashion
comprising about 40 per cent of its revenues. Fashion got a further fillip through
the standardization of the visual merchandise at all existing and new stores. The
communication focused on it being the fashion destination of the masses.
Big Bazaar Getting Bigger
An interesting development has been the increase in the categories and micro
merchandising at Big Bazaar. New categories like consumer electronics,
furniture, communication, food and beverage, pharmacies, beauty retail, salons,
books, stationery and music are being added and Big Bazaar is getting bigger in
space. A Big Bazaar store measuring more than 150,000 square feet opened in
Bangalore in October 2006. This takes Big Bazaar to the next level.
Private Label Initiatives
On the private label front, the company increased its share of private
brands as a percentage of the total fashion revenues from about 40 per cent in
2004-05 to over 50 per cent in 2005-06. For the year under review, the private
label fashion category also witnessed a significant growth over the past year by
nearly 120 per cent.

ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION Offers & SAB SE SASTA DIN.,
Hoardings & Paintings are good source of advertisements so company
has to concentrate on this advertising aspect Hoardings & Paintings has
to be increased & placed in more crowded areas.
Big Bazaar has to concentrate on more offers & may provided discounts,
more exchange offers.

LIMITATIONS
The research was conducted in Hubli city only, so analysis and
recommendations may not be applicable to other cities.
Sample size was 100; I feel this small size cannot represent the whole
company.
The study was conducted in Hubli city only, so all the information
sought is restricted to this city only.
Some respondent refused to participate in the survey and that in turn may
have affected the result of the study.

Conclusion
I would conclude the project stating that the customer of Hubli are satisfied
with offers, and they still needs good offers in future days. And the big bazaar
has doing good in terms of understanding customer expectation and providing
them good offers and products in terms of fulfilling their expectation. During the
project I would come to know about differs offers of big bazaar, what a normal
consumer will think before entering into big bazaar. And the different types of
factors which influence customers to visit big bazaar. And what are the factors
which we need focus for increase consumer walk-in big bazaar hubli.
The consumers preferences are changing & they are moving from Traditional
Kirana stores to Modern Retail outlet. It’s the main challenge to the Modern retail
outlets to attract the customers towards them from that of competitors. To attract more
customers companies have to carryout the promotional activities in unique way. BIG
BAZAAR has maintained that uniqueness & has succeeded in attracting customers.
The advertisement of the company like TV ads, print media & pamphlets are good
advertisements which made its place in minds of customer to find BIGBAZAAR
differently. As the competition is becoming stiff in the market the activities conducted
by the company are unique, that have brought fruitful result to the company. Among
them Advertisement is one of the leading activity or unique among all other activities
& has high influence on the customer walk-in.
