“Retailing in India has been under the spotlight over the last few years with the development of FID, the entry of Indian Corporate banners into this ever-growing segment, the entry of multinational banners into B2B segment of Retailing, the entry into B2C with JV options and single brand entries etc,” added Pant.
“Along with these developments comes the offer of a variety of courses focusing on Retailing offered by Indian and International universities, talks by industry bodies like RAI, CII and even software companies about Bar Codes, RFID and a host of other subjects. It is a much sought after sector today and definitely has huge potential.”
While retailers are yet to have any significant presence in the top 10 rankings of most preferred employers voted by students, this is likely to change soon.
