Hi,
the job will depend on your work experience, that is in what things u have been involved in during your work in retail domain.
you will like to be involved in backend job. I think you can get that without a degree in MBA, but i am not sure........
I don't know what to suggest at this point of time. Can't u postpone ur resignation by few days n discuss the same with few more people and then take the decision.

As you might be aware that recruitment is freezed at many places. I think u need to have some more discussion before taking dat step?

hi

I am sarita,persuing mab + pgpbm from Accord School of Business, Saltlake, Kolkata.

I am very interested about the retail industry in India............India retail industry is the largest industry in India, with an employment of around 8% and contributing to over 10% of the country's GDP. Retail industry in India is expected to rise 25% yearly being driven by strong income growth, changing lifestyles, and favorable demographic patterns.

It is expected that by 2016 modern retail industry in India will be worth US$ 175- 200 billion. India retail industry is one of the fastest growing industries with revenue expected in 2007 to amount US$ 320 billion and is increasing at a rate of 5% yearly. A further increase of 7-8% is expected in the industry of retail in India by growth in consumerism in urban areas, rising incomes, and a steep rise in rural consumption. It has further been predicted that the retailing industry in India will amount to US$ 21.5 billion by 2010 from the current size of US$ 7.5 billion.

Shopping in India have witnessed a revolution with the change in the consumer buying behavior and the whole format of shopping also altering. Industry of retail in India which have become modern can be seen from the fact that there are multi- stored malls, huge shopping centers, and sprawling complexes which offer food, shopping, and entertainment all under the same roof.

India retail industry is expanding itself most aggressively, as a result a great demand for real estate is being created. Indian retailers preferred means of expansion is to expand to other regions and to increase the number of their outlets in a city. It is expected that by 2010, India may have 600 new shopping centers.

In the Indian retailing industry, food is the most dominating sector and is growing at a rate of 9% annually. The branded food industry is trying to enter the India retail industry and convert Indian consumers to branded food. Since at present 60% of the Indian grocery basket consists of non- branded items.

India retail industry is progressing well and for this to continue retailers as well as the Indian government will have to make a combined effort.

the picture you painted here is too optimistic ... modern retail has way to go before it can actually become a dominant force

all retailers are doing badly including pantaloon itself (it seems KB is loosing it's silver sheen).

Don't believe me, check today's ET headline.

I don't think you need to do full time MBA course but some retail-specific management course will give you extra edge.

many institute like Welingkar Institute Of Management. offer retail specific short-term courses.

Is Loot seriously doing that good...to make a gr8 news on BBC...I am surprised..

[xcoolaryan]

Disclaimer : I have personally attended a seminar given by Jay Gupta on Entrepreneurship and I think he's a good businessmen.

@getting featured on BBC ... I guess it's no big deal now a days .. with clever PR, everything seems to be possible.

Don't forget, just 6 month back, Subhiska was projected as Hero of India's Modern retail .... we all know what has happened to to Subhiska now ...

Imp question here, is this model of Loot is sustainable? With some strange market rumor @ Loot (cant mention them here), we need to wait for future to told full story.
