Delhi eighth among Asia Pacific's retail hotspots in 2014: Report (Source :Economic times) Nineteen global retailers making their entry to the national capital's prime shopping locations helped the city retain its 8th rank among Asia Pacific's top retail hotspots. According to global property consultant CBRE's Retail Hotspots in Asia Pacific 2014, established as well as emerging retail markets in the region saw 464 new retail entrants in 2014, 23 per cent more than 2013. CBRE's Retail Hotspots in Asia Pacific 2014 reports on international retailer activity occurring in the APAC region. The year saw Tokyo attracting the most number of new retail entrants (63), followed by Singapore (58), Taipei (49), Hong Kong (45) and Beijing (34). "Prime shopping districts of New Delhi attracted 19 global retailers in 2014 over 16 entrants in 2013. New Delhi held on to its eighth position among the APAC region's top target markets, along with Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok," CBRE said in the report. With 11 entries from global retailers, Mumbai too maintained its 14th spot in the region, along with Brisbane (Australia).Overall, the spotlight continued to remain on emerging locations of India, China and Southeast Asia, the report said. Commenting on the report, CBRE South Asia Chairman and Managing Director Anshuman Magazine said: "We are expecting a growth in retail sales across the region in 2015, albeit with a more cautious approach from retailers." Retailers would be more strategic in store network planning and focusing on proven retail environments, he added. "In terms of retail segments, we expect food and beverage (F&B) to remain the most active. Consumers in the region thrive on new concepts, with landlords keen on creating shopping destinations by offering more dining options," Magazine said. The luxury and business retail segment saw the greatest share of new entrants at 22.6 per cent. However, the coffee and restaurants segment's growth climbed steeply to 22.4 per cent in 2014, compared to just 14.8 per cent in 2013. "Retailers from the US made the most new entries into Asia Pacific with 24 per cent, followed jointly by retailers from Italy and the UK with 11 per cent each, to be followed by French retailers at 10.5 per cent," CBRE said
Amazon to take kirana stores online (Source-Economic Times) E-commerce major Amazon is taking your neighbourhood kirana store online. The e-tailer is launching an express delivery platform in partnership with mom-and-pop stores, calling it Kirana Now. Starting first in Bengaluru on a pilot run, Amazon intends to scale this up nationally, a senior executive from the Seattleheadquartered company said. Amazon India's country head Amit Agarwal said Kirana Now is an India-specific innovation built particularly for the local market. This is a by-india, for-india service. "We want to provide maximum convenience to customers when shopping for their everyday needs and enable them to shop from the ecosystem of their local stores on their mobile phones and get things delivered when they really need it," Agarwal said. Grocery e-tailing has till now been confined largely to vertical players like Big Basket with the bigger horizontal e-tailers focusing more on electronics and apparel. Hyper local delivery apps like Grofers, modelled on the likes of Instacart and Postmates, have also tied up with grocery stores to facilitate their deliveries. For now, Amazon - which operates on the marketplace model, connecting merchants to buyers - has introduced this service only on the mobile platform and will deliver orders within two-four hours. "These corner stores, which would be listed as sellers, will upload their catalogues online on our platform and we would help with the back-end and technology," Agarwal said. The deliveries would be taken care of by Amazon, the kiranas and third-party logistics. Last year, Amazon had started using kiranas as pick-up and delivery points, an indigenous improvisation on Amazon Lockers which the company operates in the US and some other markets. The online commerce behemoth, which competes aggressively with homegrown e-tailers Flipkart and Snapdeal, extended the pilot that had kicked off last year to as many as 500 stores across 28 cities. Arvind Singhal, chairman at retail consulting firm Technopak, said, "The food and grocery retail business is about $370 billion out of about the overall $530-billion retail (merchandise) spending that was done in 2014-15. In the US, the e-commerce giant has been operating Amazon Fresh, an online grocery delivery service, since 2007. It offers home delivery of products on the same day or the next day and competes with Google Express and one of the hottest San Francisco-based startups Instacart.
E-commerce firms eye big hiring in 2015 (Source-Business Standard) Despite being more technology-driven and less labour-intensive, the Indian e-commerce sector remains bullish on hiring and might continue with its fast pace of bringing more people on board through 2015. Backed by robust growth, the leading 10 companies in the sector are themselves looking to absorb at least 15,000 professionals by December. A major chunk of the hiring, which will include more of college graduates and less of laterals, will be in areas relating to technology, sales and marketing. Delhi-based Snapdeal looks to double its employee base in 2015 from the current 5,000. Bengaluru-based Flipkart plans to double its technology team from the current 1,000 over the next 12-18 months. Amazon.in expects to continue its pace of 30-35 per cent expansion in employee base this year as well. Our current team strength is 33,000 and with the business and e-commerce industry expanding at a rapid rate, the hiring will be aggressive, with a prime focus on technology, a Flipkart spokesperson said. According to the sectoral body, Nasscom, the e-commerce sector in India has been growing at a compounded annual rate of 25 per cent since 2010 and has a market size of around $14 billion currently. Fabfurnish plans to expand its employee base by end- 2015 to 4,000 from around 1,000 currently. Others in the same category also plan to do so. Urban Ladder is looking to hire 1,400 employees in 2015, as against a total employee base of 600 now and PepperFry plans to recruit 500 more.online jewelery retailer Bluestone is looking to expand its employee base by 600 persons in 2015, from around 250 currently. While tier-i colleges like the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and Indian Institutes of Management (IIM) remain a preference for hiring senior leaders, most e-tailers have also tapped into tier-ii engineering and management institutes. Beside expansion of senior leadership, which most e-commerce companies are looking at, a large part of recruitment is focused around bringing on board employees in smaller cities and towns, to expand seller and buyer footprint. Large entities, especially, are eyeing regional hiring in a big way, to ensure deeper penetration into untapped towns and cities. Snapdeal, in the process of setting up regional teams to bring local sellers to its platform, is looking to hire aggressively for these teams. Additionally, Snapdeal will be hiring for its new Bengaluru center.
Birlas may merge retail arms with Pantaloon Fashion (Source-Business Standard) In a move to attract foreign investment in its retail business, the Aditya Birla group is likely to merge its two loss-making unlisted entities Aditya Birla Retail, which runs the retail chain More, and Madura Fashion & Lifestyle with Pantaloons Fashion & Retail, a listed entity. The Pantaloons board was likely to meet as early as next week to take a call on the merger proposal, in the works for nine months, said sources familiar with the development. The merged entity would get tax breaks because of losses suffered by Aditya Birla Retail and Madura Fashion, sources added. At present, the Birlas own a 72.62 per cent stake in Pantaloons, which they acquired from Future Group for Rs 1,600 crore in 2012. With the merger, Pantaloons will lead the group s retail initiatives and, according to the 2013-14 financial data, create a Rs 7,200-crore sales entity. One of the issues faced by the group is attracting foreign investment in the merged entity, so that the listed entity does not breach the foreign direct investment (FDI) cap for the retail sector. At present, the government does not allow more than 26 per cent FDI, including that from foreign institutional investors, in the retail sector. The survey made a case for liberalisation by saying the retail sector was affected in 2013 by high retail inflation, currency fluctuations, and strict FDI policies. A source said the Birlas had sought clarifications from SEBI on the FDI/FII investments in the retail company, and whether private equity investments would breach the foreign investment norms. According to the source, private equity investors have raised concerns on whether their investment in the merged entity will lead to a breach of foreign investment cap for the retail sector, given that Pantaloons is a listed entity. Pantaloon Fashion, acquired from Kishore Biyani s Future group, posted a net loss of Rs 187 crore on net sales of Rs 1,661 crore in 2013-14. Pantaloon Retail has made a loss of Rs 42.78 crore for the quarter ending December 2014 on revenues of Rs 450 crore. Pantaloon Fashion has a market cap of Rs 1,078 crore as on Thursday. Though Aditya Birla Retail (ABRL) posted a 20% growth in sales at Rs 2,531 crore in fiscal 2014 as compared to the previous fiscal, the company piled up losses of nearly Rs 4,800 crore after seven years of operation. ABRL s losses widened from Rs 583 crore in 2012-13 to Rs 596 crore in FY14. Madura, on the other hand, posted a loss of Rs 40.70 crore on sales of Rs 2,966 crore in FY 2014.

Case Study What makes Select CITYWALK a successful mall, reveals Yogeshwar Sharma (Source-Economic Times) My Square, the new food court at the Select CITYWALK mall in the Saket neighbourhood of South Delhi, is set to get an ipad attached to each table. Select CITYWALK is investing Rs 7-8 crore in the food court and hopes it to become another reason for people to visit the mall, already among the nation's top. Small steps such as these are important to be successful in a highly competitive market at a time when malls are mushrooming in every nook and corner of urban India. But more important are knowledge of the market and making informed decisions at the right time. "Mall operation is one of the easiest things, given you know the job," says Yogeshwar Sharma, chief executive of Select CITYWALK. "Every game has its own rules. If you follow the rules, you are successful, and if you don't, you fail." The success of Select CITYWALK and a few others like DLF Promenade, Ambience Palladium, Phoenix, Inorbit and Marketcity comes at a time when many are going through a bad patch, with some being converted into office space. Sharma, who studied Dubai's malls closely, says before launching a mall, the operator must do extensive market research and know the target customers and brands. "You need to define the type of mall you want to build and its target customers. It is here most developers make mistake; they make the mall and then start filling the space," he say. "Developers need to be crystal clear whether it will be an entertainment mall, such as Great India Place-Noida, fashion & lifestyle driven like ours, or destination, etc." Select CITYWALK's management had three options to choose from on its positioning: mass, affordable luxury or luxury. But it zeroed in on premium - a level lower than affordable luxury - and today the mall is heading towards the affordable luxury category. The mall was built as a neighbourhood, fashion and lifestyle destination and the target customers were those living in South Delhi areas like Saket, Sainik Farms, Greater Kailash and Geetanjali. "This mall is not dependent on customers from Rajouri Garden (in West Delhi), East Delhi or West Delhi," says Sharma.
Around 70% of its partners are from beauty and fashion category and the remaining space is leased out to food partners. According to Sharma, brands have to be relevant with the evolving customers and their fashion quotient. "The market was ready for Bobby Brown, Chanel some years back. Then we brought Mango which was a great hit. Then Zara, and now we are planning another fast fashion brand that will be a great hit, too," he says. "Malls need to collect feedbacks from visitors to be relevant in all seasons. Otherwise you will be out of the competition." According to JLL's Renjhen, South Delhi and South Mumbai shoppers are the most evolved in the country. They have the fashion sense when it comes to shopping and Select CITYWALK has maintained its relevance through soft services and launching new brands to keep customers coming back, he says. "Select CITYWALK has the right brand mix that it keeps churning to stay relevant to its target customers," says Harminder Sahni, retail expert at Wasir Advisors. Some malls don't do well because of not being able to define the mall type, lack of research on the areas from where the shoppers are likely to come from and selecting the wrong partners, says Sharma. "If you put Aldo where the catchment demands Bata or vice versa, you just cannot attract the audiences." Sharma emphasises on the architecture of the mall. "Mall works on impulse shopping, window shopping," he says. "So, the architecture should be such that the customer float with the design of the mall, like ours which is in L-shape; and that he should not take decision where to go after every 10 steps. Brands should also be arranged in an order to maintain the consistency of the mind." Another important point which shouldn't be missed out is aligning with your partners, he says. "Give every possible support to them because if tenants are healthy, you will get your rent on time."

20 Things To Start Doing Now That Will Improve The Rest Of Your Life(Part-1) (Source-Huffingpost) By Andy Giroux On Quora, the social question-and-answer site, a 23-year-old student asked: "What can people start doing now that will help them a lot in five years?" Hundreds of answers poured in, and this one by Quora contributor Andy Giroux was one of our favorites. 1. Exercise. And if you can, exercise in the morning. This helps in so many ways. It will help you sleep better at night and be more alert during the day. It will help wake you up in the morning by getting your blood flowing. It will help to sharpen and focus your mind. It will help relieve stress. There are just so many benefits. 2. Don't say "I'll do it tomorrow" or "I don't have time." Tomorrow tends to be the imaginary land that never arrives, and 95-99% of the time when people say "I'll do it tomorrow" or "I don't have time" it really means "I'd rather just be lazy." 3. Don't make excuses. Just do it. If there is something that you want to do, whether it is just something that you think would be fun, a new experience, or something to better yourself then do it. This sort of goes with point #2. If you're making excuses then all that means is your really don't want it that badly. 4. Read books. Get off the internet. Stop reading pointless 3 paragraph articles and read something substantial. It will help expand your vocabulary, it will open your mind, it will inspire real thinking and creativity, and more. 5. Save money. Be aggressive about it. In the next 5-10 years, you'll probably be extremely happy that you did so. 6. Don't hold grudges. Do not harbor hate. It takes a lot of energy to be mad at people so don't bother. Just let things go. And if someone continues to inspire these bad feelings in you, then let them go. It's that simple.
7. Laugh and smile. Always. Having a bad day? First, Smile. A big one. Ear to ear. Force it. Smiling doesn't just happen when you are happy, but it always happens to make you happier. It's scientifically proven. Then go to YouTube (I know earlier I said get off the internet, but laughter is a necessity.), look up a funny video or your favorite comedian and just laugh. Just let go. It'll help. 8. Stop and smell the roses. It's good to want to better yourself, but you also need to know when to take time for yourself and relax. Let your batteries recharge. 9. Be thankful and grateful. Sometimes it can be hard in the moment to realize that you actually have it pretty good, but every now and then just stop and think about everything that you have in your life. There is always someone who has it worse so you should be happy that you have what you have. It's also good to want to be better and to not just accept things for what they are, to challenge the status quo, but at the same time if you are always surging forward and you never stop to appreciate what and who is around you then one day when you finally do stop, you may realize there's nothing left. 10. Be charitable. Not just with your money or your time, but with who you are. Being charitable isn't just about giving when it makes sense, it's about being the type of person who will go out of their way to help the old woman cross a slippery, snow covered street. It's about tipping the waitress even when she was bitchy because maybe she's just having a really bad day. It's about smiling at that person across from you on the bus who looks upset, maybe even ask them if they need to talk. It's about giving that kid who won't stop asking for a job a chance even though their resume doesn't look that great.
Summer-Spring-Ring-a-Ding Ding! (Manisha Bhojwani MBA, Jodhpur) Reserve yourself with a shady spot, come out of the envelope and flaunt what you got.get your tan Embrace the new trend, 50 Seconds of summer before it ends, Put on your shades,and a sunscreen splash, cause summer is in Ring a Ding Ding! It has become a kind of tradition to welcome every season with a bag full of new fashion ideas, and it s exactly the same tradition that I am going to stretch my words on. I believe Fashion should be considered as the 7 th sense in a person, because as a human, we seek change. Any kind of change that makes us feel belonged and yet special is called fashion. Fashion has taken its roots, in a way that we will fail to imagine a subject it is not associated with. It changes every season, and talk of the hour relates to the Spring Summer Season. Pantone rules the charts of eye candies, and following is the guide to the colours of spring 2015 for women & men, right from the books of pantone: In technical terms it is called Visual Merchandising! PANTONE 18-1438 Marsala is announced as the color of the year. In fashion, what is cooked needs to get on plate in a manner that the eyes taste the food first and then the eating begins! You know they say, Jo dikhtahai, wo bikta hai. Various brands and popular retail stores focus majorly on keeping up with their displays in tune with the changing fashion, trends, and seasons Talking of Visual Merchandising, FDDI Jodhpur Family embraced and celebrated the Summer- Spring Season by decorating the VM Lab, under the guidance of our faculty, Ms. Heena Purohit.
The One-of-a-Kind display was inspired by the floral textures accompanied by the Pop-Up Colors, adding to the feel of spring to the display.the 3 dimensional garden embellishments are eye catching. Since White is the new cool, the idea of keeping all white everything, made the accessories grab the attention and the use of vibrant pop up colors radiated the cool, optimistic, feminine, classy and spring-y feel. And it isn t the best part yet! The materials used in making the theme come to life are tissue papers, chart papers, printer papers, and toilet papers. Too much paper, sounds dapper right?! Wait till you actually see it! This whole play of art was an idea of one of the blessed people I know, Divya Choudhary (IPRM IV Sem) who lead the inspiration with the supporting hands of Aditya Bansal (FDPM IV Sem), Jekdan Charan, Marudhar Singh Tanwar, NareshTak, Sneha Hooda, Pemal Gehlot and Vineet Dixit (from IPRM IV Sem). Roll your eyes down for the pictures of our VM Lab, celebrating the summer spring season. This would be incomplete without calling a Virtual Applause for the beautiful piece of work done by my friends. Enjoy! Thank you for giving my words your precious time.may your Summer tunes up with the Calvin Harris track Summer! Mood Board and actual display in VM Lab VM Lab setup with the merchandise
