Why Walmart chose Bharti ?


Indian laws does not permit FDI in multi brand by non-domestic retailers. Thus,

this alliance will help Wal-Mart to enter fast growing retail sector.
Bharti served as a market leader in the telecom sector of India and also had an

experience of managing over 30,000 people.


Bharti had a long history of pitching in with foreign companies. Wal-Marts failure in Korea and Germany and their hardships in Japan made them

realise the need of a local partner in order to understand the peoples choices.
Bharti had a huge market capitalization of worth more than US $ 25 billion. Indian agricultural sourcing is highly disintegrated which requires understanding

of local market. WalMart could leverage on Bhartis experience in penetrating far flung areas for their telecom markets.
