Keeping in mind the rapid growth of Indian retail industry and its bright future, this has always been a thrust area for me. Big Bazaar is at the top position in Indian retail industry. That is why it attracted me to have summer training (on the job training) in Big Bazaar, Lucknow. Big Bazaar is the retail chain of Future Retail (India) Ltd. And it provides a wide range of products availability for the customers.
As a matter of fact, retail is the buzz word of the Indian economy today. As retail industry is growing at a high pace I wanted to have an overview of the subject. I have chosen Big Bazaar retail chain for the summer training (on the job training) because Big Bazaar retail is very upcoming retail company which is continuously changing its activities with the change of time. I wanted to understand their marketing activities and liked to relate how similar or dissimilar it is from what I have studied in marketing management.
To execute the project, I underwent on the job training at Big Bazaar, Phoenix United Mall, and Lucknow. The interaction with the Human Resource Manager, Department Manager, Operational Manager, Team Leaders and other staff personnel was fruitful to me as it cleared many core concepts when it came to practical application what we have learned in the classrooms and books.

INTRODUCTION
Industry Profile-
The word ‘retail’ is derived from the French word ‘retailer’, meaning ‘to cut a piece off’ or ‘to break bulk’. In simple terms, it implies a first-hand transaction with the customer.
Retailing involvers a direct interface with the customer and the coordination of business activities right from the concept or design stage of a product or offering to its delivery and post-delivery service to the customer. The industry has contributed to the economic growth of many countries and is undoubtedly one of the fastest changing and dynamic industries in the world today.
“ Retailing today is not only about selling at the shop, but also about surveying the market, offering choice and experience to consumers, competitive prices and retaining consumers as well”
Retail trade provides 9% of all jobs in India and 14% of GDP.
Retail classification
Retail industry can be broadly classified into two categories namely- organized and unorganized retail.
Organized retail - Organized traders/retailers, who are licensed for trading activities and registered to pay taxes to the government.

Unorganized retail – It consists of unauthorized small shops - conventional Kirana shops, general stores, corner shops among various other small retail outlets - but remain as the radiating force of Indian retail industry.
The Indian retail industry is one of the fastest growing in the world. Retail industry in India is expected to grow to US$ 1.3 trillion by 2020, registering a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 16.7 per cent over 2015-20.
The retail market is expected to reach a whooping Rs. 47 lakh crore by 2016-17, as it expands at a compounded annual growth rate of 15 per cent,
- According to the ‘Yes Bank - Assocham’ study.
India is the fifth largest preferred retail destination globally. The country is among the highest in the world in terms of per capita retail store availability. India’s retail sector is experiencing exponential growth, with retail development taking place not just in major cities and metros, but also in Tier-II and Tier-III cities. Healthy economic growth, changing demographic profile, increasing disposable incomes, urbanization, changing consumer tastes and preferences are the other factors driving growth in the organized retail market in India.
India’s population is taking to online retail in a big way. The online retail market is expected to grow from US$ 6 billion to US$ 70 billion during FY15-FY20.

Market Dynamics
In the past few years, Indian Retail sector has seen tremendous growth in the organized segment. Major domestic players have stepped into the retail arena with long term, ambitious plans to expand their business across verticals, cities and formats.
Companies like Tata, Reliance, Adani Enterprise and Bharti have been investing considerably in the booming Indian Retail market. Along with these giant retailers, a number of transnational brands have also entered into the market to set up retail chains in close association with bigger Indian companies.
High consumer spending over the years by the young population (more than 31% of the country is below 14 years) and sharp rise in disposable income are driving the Indian organized retail sector’s growth. Even Tier I & Tier II cities and towns are witnessing a major shift in consumer preferences and lifestyles, the result of which, they have emerged as attractive markets for retailers to expand their presence.
The Indian retail sector is highly fragmented and the unorganized sector has around 13 million retail outlets that account for around 95-96% of the total Indian retail industry. However, going forward, the organized sector’s growth potential is expected to increase due to globalization, high economic growth, and improved lifestyle.
“The retail companies are found to be rising in India at a remarkable speed with the years and this has brought a revolutionary change in the shopping attitude of the Indian customers”.

Retail Formats and Classification
The evolution of retail in India has led to the emergence of the various formats in the retail industry.
The first hypermarket that was developed was Carrefour in France in 1963.This new format gave the customer the choice of picking up a product, comparing it with others and then taking a decision to buy. The decision making of a customer has changed and there are three principles that have become fundamental to modern selling
They fixed product prices before sale and that the customer bought at the set prices The prices were determined on the basis of stock turns and the amount of profit that was generated from the product. They departmentalized the products .Accounting system were devised to determine the contribution of various department and this enabled them to drop unprofitable goods.
The various formats can be classified on the basis of ownership and the merchandise offered.
