In India, an appropriate mix of physical stores and online formats, aided by technology drivers like mobile phones, could be used by companies to create unique retail models that reach out to a wider customer base in shorter times and at lower costs.
Companies in India should seriously consider leveraging existing lines of business into retail formats, whether
through a chain of stores or online sales models. There are ample niche opportunities for companies who wish to enter the retail business and develop unique value propositions for their customers.
