Organised retail in India is in the midst of a revolution. The last few years have witnessed rapid changes that
include setting up of scalable and protable retail models across categories. The retailing market of Eastern
India has always been riding strong on the back of a strong end market demand. Despite few direct and
indirect jolts during recession the region has emerged a winner recording highest transactions for the countrys
top-line retailers. Further with the mall market gaining enough momentum, the positivity is spreading across
the retail categories from fashion to food, home dcor to consumer electronics, health and beauty to leisure
& entertainment. The consumers are evolving and accepting modern formats overwhelmingly. The regions
economy is getting a further push up as consumer spend is peaking up like never before. Regional majors
like Khadims Sreeleathers, GKB, Manyavar, and Spencers are making national headlines. No wonder, the
Piramals, the Tatas, the Rahejas, ITC, S.Kumars, RPG Enterprises and such other mega retailers like Crossword,
Shoppers Stop and Pantaloons are also racing to revolutionise the retailing sector in the region. To sum it up, the road ahead is only getting wider.
