Reliance Retail India Limited I want to share my pathetic experience with Kayamkulam SMART Bazaar, Kerala. I am from Karunagappally and settled in Bangalore, now I am in my native place with family to spend time with my parents. There is a new store opened in my home town Karunagappally and at present it is good since it is a new shop, based on the experience which I had with Kayamkulam & Chengannur shop I am pretty sure during my next year visit, Karunagappally shop will also get into the same shabby league. Maybe you are wondering whether I am an Operations head visiting all Reliance stores, my relatives are there in all these nearby areas and on the way to buy something, I visited your stores. When I visited the Kayamkulam store on 4th May, after 2:30 PM it was a horrible experience, my Mom was there with me and she wanted to buy some grocery items, but the lift was not working, when I asked they said it was not operational and you need to use stairs. Since it was not working they stacked many packaged items in front of the lift door, so I am sure that it was not operational for quite some time. My mother is 73 and it would be tedious for her to climb the steps. So I was forced to come out of the shop. Another important thing which I noticed was the performance of AC, it was working but not that effectively, so they switched on all fans and still I don't understand the logic behind that. Please don't say due to the extremely HOT summer conditions the AC is not as effective as expected. I cannot take it, this is not Vizag or the northern part of India, more over the Karunagappally store's AC is working as expected. Due to this temperature issue, the perishable items area was stinking which was not acceptable at all because it is hazardous for the health. The beauty of Kerala is when we ask why it is not working, the answer is "This is how it is, if you want please buy and go, we are the Kings of India". Question to Reliance Retail team Is this the way you instructed the Store Manager to manage the store? Reliance Retail is a corporate brand, for Tier 2 & Tier 3 towns, is it more than enough as per the corporate policies? I am not comparing it with Bangalore but some minimum decorum needs to be maintained.

iPhone sales in India to surpass entire Hindustan Unilver ( HUL ) India sales 1. HUL sells over 50 brands in India which are household names for generations like Lux, Liril, Lifebuoy, Dove, Horlick, Boost, Lipton, Brooke Bond, Lakme and many such brands which have been household names for 3 generations. 2. One single brand iPhone will surpass the sales of all of HUL’s 50+ brands put together. iPhone has been around for just 17 years whereas HUL brands have spanned generations. 3. The broader trend at play is that luxury brands are growing much faster in India compared to mass market brands. 4. SUV vs entry level car sales: SUV sales crossed 2 million units, while entry level sales fell to 0.25 million units in FY23. 5. Luxury apartments are selling like hot cakes whereas sale of affordable housing has significantly slowed down. Their share went up from 7 to 21% whereas affordable housing share fell from 37% to 18%. 6. Crorepati tax payers : The number of individual taxpayers earning more than `1 crore jumped from 1,11,939 in pre-Covid 2019-20 to 1,69,890 in 2022-23, a 51% upswing as per CBDT report. 7. Rise of luxury brands a worldwide phenomenon: Rise of luxury is not just an Indian phenomenon but a worldwide phenomenon. For example, the demand for Luxury hotels have hit the roof. Atlantis Royal Hotels in Dubai charges a nightly rate of upwards of $100,000. Even at such outlandish rates, luxury hotels are unable to keep up with demand. Does it mean that Luxury brands are going to rule the world? Not necessarily. The pendulum keeps swinging from left to right and vice versa. Mercedes top end cars Maybach had to be shut down in the year 2012 after it could sell just 44 cars the previous year. #BusinessStoryTelling #LuxuryBrands #iPhone #HUL #BusinessTrends

A case study for Success. we need more such brands which can compete with each other. Ultimately it's win win story for customers.
