Abstract

The future of the India Retail Industry looks promising with the growing of the market, with the government policies becoming more favorable and the emerging technologies facilitating operations. Retail is one of the largest industries in India. The sector has witnessed an immense growth in the last few years. The key factors responsible for the retail boom have been the change in consumer profile and demographics, increase in the number of international brands available in the Indian market, economic implications of the government, increasing urbanization, credit availability, improvement in the infrastructure, increasing investments in technology and real estate building and a world class shopping environment for the consumers. For this study 100 unorganised retail grocery stores (small kirana stores) were randomly selected and data was collected using a questionnaire. This paper discusses about one of the factors i.e. infrastructure and other facilities available with the unorganised retail grocery stores in Bangalore city.
