been ever increasing and this has changed the consumer’s preference. According
to a world study India is considered as one of the youngest economies and this
is helping in the growth of the sector.

ever-expanding cities and upcoming towns, people are becoming choosier with the
things they buy and the places they shop. This has resulted in the emergence of
new retail ventures trying to be niche in some area.

Technology- With the emergence of internet, people have become aware of what’s
happening in the other part of the world and this has led him in comparing the
prices, assortment, ambience etc. To cope up with this knowledge explosion
different retail formats have emerged and this has made shopping more of fun
and a experiences.
4. Added Experimentation- Back in
