1. Introduction to Retail Industry
Retail is India's largest industry. It accounts for over 10 per cent of the
India's GDP and around eight per cent of the employment. Retail sector is
one of India's fastest growing sectors with a 5 per cent compounded
annual growth rate. India's huge middle class base and its untapped retail
industry are key attractions for global retail giants planning to enter
newer markets. Driven by changing lifestyles, strong income growth and
favourable demographic patterns, Indian retail is expected to grow 25 per
cent annually. It is expected that retail in India could be worth US$ 175-
200 billion by 2016.
The organized retail industry in India had not evolved till the early 1990s.
Until then, the industry was dominated by the un-organized sector. It was
a seller’s market, with a limited number of brands, and little choice
available to customers. Lack of trained manpower, tax laws and
government regulations all discouraged the growth of organized retailing
in India during that period. Lack of consumer awareness and restrictions
over entry of foreign players into the sector also contributed to the delay
in the growth of organized retailing. Foundation for organized retail in
India was laid by Kishore Biyani of Pantaloon Retails India Limited (PRIL).
Following Pantaloon's successful venture a host of Indian business giants
such as Reliance, Bharti, Birla and others are now entering into retail
sector.
A number of factors are driving India's retail market. These include:

increase in the young working population, hefty pay-packets, nuclear
families in urban areas, increasing working-women population, increase in
disposable income and customer aspiration, increase in expenditure for
luxury items, and low share of organized retailing. India's retail boom is
manifested in sprawling shopping centres, multiplex- malls and huge
complexes that offer shopping, entertainment and food all under one roof.
But there is a flip side to the boom in the retail sector. It is feared that the
entry of global business giants into organized retail would make
redundant the neighbourhood kiryana stores resulting in dislocation in
traditional economic structure. Also, the growth path for organized retail
in India is not hurdle free. The taxation system still favours small retail
business. With the intrinsic complexities of retailing such as rapid price
4|Page
changes, constant threat of product obsolescence and low margins there

is always a threat that the venture may turn out to be a loss making one.
A perfect business model for retail is still in evolutionary stage.

Procurement is very vital cog in the retail wheel. The retailer has to fight
issues like fragmented sourcing, unpredictable availability, unsorted food
provisions and daily fluctuating prices as against consumer expectations
of round-the-year steady prices, sorted and cleaned food and fresh stock
at all times.
Trained human resource for retail is another big challenge. The talent
base is limited and with the entry of big giants there is a cat fight among
them to retain this talent. This has resulted in big salary hikes at the level
of upper and middle management and thereby eroding the profit margin
of the business. All the companies have laid out ambitious expansion
plans for themselves and they may be hampered due lack of requisite
skilled manpower.
But retail offers tremendous for the growth of Indian economy. If all the
above challenges are tackled prudently there is a great potential that
retail may offer employment opportunities to millions living in small town
and cities and in the process distributing the benefits of economic boom
and resulting in equitable growth.

1. Private Label
Private label products or services are typically those manufactured or
provided by one company for offer under another company's brand.
Private label goods and services are available in a wide range of industries
from food to cosmetics to web hosting. They are often positioned as lower
cost alternatives to regional, national or international brands, although
recently some private label brands have been positioned as "premium"
brands to compete with existing "name" brands.
4.1 Private Label as a Marketing and Business Tool
Retailers have extended the concept of private label to identify a brand

with a store, a concept known as the store brand. This can be a far more
profitable business than selling nationally advertised brands.
Use of Private Label goes well beyond the Store Brands, though certainly
this is the most frequent situation in which a customer will have contact
with one.
4.2 Reasons for acquiring Private Label/Brands
Several corporations source an extremely wide range of products from

specialized manufacturers, which may or may not own their brand. The
reasons for this business practice are several.
A company, having identified a business opportunity in a new product or

groups of products, may assess that setting up their own production line
or facility may require a substantial investment in equipment, human
resources, patents and so forth. In many cases, a viable alternative is to
source from a specialized company that has already made such
investments and that has spare production capacity. If the two companies
find that the market situation allows avoiding or minimizing direct
competition without stealing each other's market share (cannibalization),
then both companies may find an agreement whereby the specialized
manufacturer supplies the goods to the other. The methods to reduce
'cannibalization' are general marketing practices such as: dedicated
distribution channels, different image and customer perception of the
brands, pricing, separate regional presence etc.

4.5 Big Bazaar-Private labels:
Big Bazaar, the hypermarket of Pantaloon Retail, has come out with a
breakfast cereal range under its private label, Tasty Treat. Big Bazaar
already sells noodles, pasta, vermicelli, soups, namkeens, chips, toast,
khari, papads, jams, pickles, carbonated drinks, and ketchup and fruit
beverages under the brand. It has now added breakfast cereals to the
range.
The breakfast cereals will be available in three variants — plain
cornflakes, chocolate-flavoured Choco Gols and honey-flavoured Honey
Circles. There are two reasons for launching the product, says Pantaloon
Retail’s head of private brands, Devendra Chawla. “One is that private
brands give us far higher margins, and the second is that cornflakes as a
category is under-penetrated and has a lot of scope to grow.”
The market for breakfast cereals is still small. While the packaged food
market is valued at Rs 33,234 crore, the organised breakfast cereal
market is just Rs 250 crore — less than one per cent. But the market is
growing fast, given the growing health consciousness in the country,
especially the urban middle class. Kelloggs monopolises the market for
breakfast cereals with its range of flakes. Some other multinational
players have also shown keen interest in this market. PepsiCo has already
entered with its bestseller brand, Quaker Oates. Heinz India, which has a
hugely strong bond with households because of its Complan health drinks,
too has joined the bandwagon.
In spite of the presence of a large number of players in the branded
packaged food segment, Tasty Treat is growing at about 70 per cent. This
perhaps has given Big Bazaar the confidence to try its luck in breakfast
cereals as well.
In a recent development, Pantaloon Retail, promoted by Kishore Biyani,
has boycotted Kelloggs at all its retail formats for turning down its
demand for higher margins. Not surprisingly, Big Bazaar is pushing its own
brand of cornflakes now. This is not the first time Big Bazaar is doing this.
A while back Cadburys and PepsiCo owned snack food brand Frito Lay had
to bear the brunt.
14 | P a g e
As an introductory offer, the cornflakes brand will be priced at Rs 99 along

with a free bowl worth Rs 60.
According to Chawla, the brand will provide 10 to 15 per cent value when
compared to rivals. “We have the option of pricing it lower as we don’t
have to pay intermediaries and can pass on that advantage to
consumers,” says Chawla.

1. Consumer Perception
In general psychological terms, perception is our ability to make some
kind of sense of reality from the external sensory stimuli to which we are
exposed. Several factors can influence our perception, causing it to
change in certain ways. For example, repeated exposure to one kind of
stimuli can either make us oversensitive or desensitized to it. Additionally,
the amount of attention we focus on something can cause a change in our
perception of it.
In other words,
Perception is the process through which a person forms an opinion about

the various stimuli he receives from his sensory organs. In marketing,
perception is concerned with understanding how the consumer views a
product or service. The five senses of a person help him in this process.
The marketer uses various props to stimulate the consumer, that is,
through the use of colours, sound, touch, taste, or smell, to observe the
product.

play their role.

advertisement of private label brands than that of national brands.
24 | P a g e
Statement 6- It is securing to use PLBs

11 12 5 2
Findings:
Most of responded have agreed that it’s secure to use PLBs as we can see
from the above chart. Most of the owners of PLBs provides all information
about their products so that there will be no confusion regarding the
same. This may be the main reason.
25 | P a g e
Statement 7- I find PLBs simple to purchase.

5 16 4 5 0
Findings:
From the above data, it can be seen that most of the respondent found it
simple to purchase PLBs compare National Brands. This may be because
the owner of the shop always has more information about his products
rather than the products of the National brands. So the consumer can
easily acquire the information which he needs to make a purchase of a
product.
26 | P a g e
Statement 8- It’s reasonable to buy PLBs

6 10 9 3 2
Findings:

he is confident about his product as this would build up his brand. And
giving warranty is a major source to attract clients and also repurchase
could be enhanced by the same. Respondents also agree with this belief
as it can be seen from the above table and chart.
28 | P a g e
Statement 10 I think that PLBs are innovating
Strongly agree Agree Neutral disagree highly disagree

4 13 8 3 2
Findings:
From the above data, it can be seen that consumers agree that PLBs are
innovating. The major reason could be because of the launch of the
Private label brands in many new sectors and that too with more features
and quality in comparison to the national brands.
29 | P a g e
Statement 11 It is convenient to purchase PLBs

6 16 6 2 0
Findings:
From the above data, it can be imbibed that respondents/consumers feels

purchasing PLB to be convenient may be due to the easy availability and
reasonable pricing.
30 | P a g e
3. Management Implications
In consumer marketing, brands often provide the primary points of

differentiation between competitive offerings, and as such they can be
critical to the success of retailers and manufacturers.
Private label brands have made tremendous inroads over the past two
decades. Although the success of private labels has been limited to
certain product categories and segments of consumers, retailers continue
to expand the domain of private label offerings.
In this exploratory study, our objective was to assess how PLBs are
perceived in a multicultural context. Findings comprise some main points
that are valuable for retail firms operating in multi-cultural contexts.
First, an array of statements is found to be highly associated with PLBs

image including convenience, economy, reason and simplicity. Some of
these items (i.e. convenience and reason) were previously associated with
national brands. This result shows that consumers are now aware that
PLBs are improving their quality. So, from now on, retailers have to launch
much more PLBs products and to focus on their improved PLBs quality.
31 | P a g e
4. Limitations of the Research

This work does suffer from some limitations. The first of these limitations
stems from the use of a student sample.
Although the sample does have some characteristics that are desirable in
terms of their similarity to the wider population of consumers’ students,
the sample does not allow for consideration of the impact of consumer
variables such as income or education, both of which have been
demonstrated to impact private label purchasing behaviour.
Future research in this area needs to consider a broader array of

consumers living in multi-cultural contexts. Second, future studies should
also investigate other factors that influence the PLB image perception, i.e.
characteristics of the consumers who buy PLBs, their exposure to global
consumer culture, amongst other traits. In this respect, they can
distinguish clearly between intrinsic and extrinsic cues in PLB image
perceptions.
