personal consumption. This excludes direct interface between the manufacturer and
institutional buyers such as the government and other bulk customers. A retailer is one who
stocks the producers goods and is involved in the act of selling it to the individual consumer,
at a margin of profit. As such, retailing is the last link that connects the individual consumer
with the manufacturing and distribution chain. The retail industry in India is of late often
being hailed as one of the sunrise sectors in the economy. AT Kearney, the well-known
international management consultancy, recently identified India as the first most attractive
retail destination globally from among thirty emergent markets. It has made India the cause
of a good deal of excitement and the cynosure of many foreign and domestic eyes. The entry
of foreign and Indian retail giants like Wal-Mart, Metro, Reliance, Birla, Tata etc. made
Indian market more competitive which is at cut throat level. So how retailers can reach to
their end customers, to win the mind share and increase the basket size of each shopping trip.

Backward vertical integration has been the cornerstone of the evolution and growth
of Reliance. Starting with textiles in the late seventies, Reliance pursued a strategy of
backward vertical integration - in polyester, fibre intermediates, plastics, petrochemicals,

petroleum refining and oil and gas exploration and production - to be fully integrated along
the materials and energy value chain.

The Group's activities span exploration and production of oil and gas, petroleum
refining and marketing, petrochemicals (polyester, fibre intermediates, plastics and

It was founded by

the Indian industrialist Dhirubhai Ambani in 1966. Ambani has been a pioneer in introducing
financial instruments like fully convertible debentures to the Indian stock markets. Ambani
was one of the first entrepreneurs to draw retail investors to the stock markets. Critics allege
that the rise of Reliance Industries to the top slot in terms of market capitalization is largely
due to Dhirubhai's ability to manipulate the levers of a controlled economy to his advantage.

Though the company's oil-related operation forms the core of its business, it has diversified
its operations in recent years. After severe differences between the founder's two sons,
Mukesh Ambani and Anil Ambani, the group was divided between them in 2006. In
September 2008, Reliance Industries was the only Indian firm featured in the Forbes's list of
"world's 100 most respected companies"

The super marts will sell fresh fruits and vegetables, staples, groceries, fresh juice bars and
dairy products and also will sport a separate enclosure and supply-chain for non-vegetarian
products. Besides, the stores would provide direct employment to 5lakhs young Indians and
indirect job opportunities to a million people, according to the company. The company also
has plans to train students and housewives in customer care and quality services for part-time
jobs.

BACK GROUND
We can see many examples of businesses where, first we grow and then think of
expanding but Reliance is quite different. Reliance has developed such huge amount of
resources and capital over the years that whenever it steps into any segment it is not required
to wait for growing signal, thats why it always thinks of expanding without any boundaries.
Reliance retail is next Step by RIL which will be a pan India project.

Indians and indirect job opportunities to a million people, according to the company. The
company also has plans to train students and housewives in customer care and quality
services for part-time jobs.
The company is planning on opening new stores with store-size varying from 1,500
sq ft to 3,000 sq ft, which will stock fresh fruits and vegetables, staples, FMCG products and
dairy products. Each store is said to be within a radius of 1-2 km of each other, in relation to
the concept of a neighbour store. However, this is only the entry roll-out that the company
has planned. Bangalore is said to have 40 stores in all by the end of the year.
In a dramatic change due circumstances prevailing in UP, West Bengal and Orissa,
It was mentioned recently in News Dailies that, Reliance Retail is moving out stocking.
Reliance Retail has decided to minimize its exposure in the fruit and vegetable business and
position Reliance Fresh as a pure play super market focusing on categories like food, FMCG,
home, consumer durables, IT, wellness and auto accessories, with food accounting for the
bulk of the business.

The company may not stock fruit and vegetables in some states, Orissa being
one of them. Though Reliance Fresh is not exiting the fruit and vegetable business altogether,
it has decided not to compete with local vendors partly due to political reasons, and partly
due to its inability to create a robust supply chain. This is quite different from what the firm
had originally planned. When the first Reliance Fresh store opened in Hyderabad last
October, not only did the company said the stores main focus would be fresh produce like
fruits and vegetables at a much lower price, but also spoke at length about its farm-to-fork
theory. The idea the company spoke about was to source from farmers and sell directly to the
consumer removing middlemen out of the way.

SUPPLY CHAIN MODELS OF RELIANCE RETAIL

Reliance started its retail operations of Reliance Fresh stores with following supply
chain model. Procuring directly from the farmers and operating with moderate margin
but mass selling was the key to Reliance fresh operation for first few months. The
following figure depicts the first Reliance fresh model.

Whole Sale Trading (WST) Reliance formalized its second supply chain model to shift itself
from grocery retailer to grocery supplier by focusing and establishing itself in Mandis.

STEPS IN WTS MODEL:


1) Reliance has owned farms on contract basis for production of specific crop which is
decided after extensive research depending on

SOIL CONDITIONS,

CLIMATE CONDITIONS,

RETURN OVER COSTS INCURRED.


So as to yield best possible results.
2) Different vegetables and fruits from such farms are collected through reliance own

11

Logistics and brought to collection Processing centres where quality check and other
required processing is done.
In processing centres workers wearing balaclavas, woollen trousers and bulky jackets
work inside a room kept at a constant 3oC, peeling and chopping vegetables, spinning
them dry and then heaping them in small plastic packets before placing them in plastic
transport crates. At the other end of the 5,000-sq-m warehouse, men unload crates of
fruits from a truck pulled up to a spotless loading dock. A quality-control expert samples
every tenth crate; if the fruits are good a team will make ready them for delivery within
hours to Reliance fresh stores around different places like U.P and as far away as
Hyderabad and even Mumbai (formerly Bombay). If they are not, workers will inspect
the entire shipment and discard anything below standard.
3) Merchandise from these collection processing centers are collected and loaded for
Wholesale mandis. As this merchandise is to be made available by 4 A.M in morning
thus deliveries in trucks are sent at time depending upon:
TRANSIT TIME. Time required reaching destination i.e. mandis.
MARGIN TIME. Time period between a truck reaching mandi and then unloads can be
2 to 3 hours.
LOADING AND UNLOADING TIME.
4) From mandis where the trucks have been unloaded, roadside vendors and pull carters
Buy fruits and vegetables to supply in households.
5) In case still some vegetables and fruits are not sold reliance logistics own
Transportation sends them to reliance fresh stores.

themselves and some places they procure it from the manufacturers.
Refrigerated products: This product line is dominated by the brands available in
market and very less private labelling is done.

HYPOTHESIS OF RESEARCH
A research hypothesis is a specific, clear, and testable proposition or predictive statement
about the possible outcome of a scientific research study based on a particular property of a
population, such as presumed differences between groups on a particular variable or
relationships between variables. Specifying the research hypotheses is one of the most
important steps in planning a scientific quantitative research study. A quantitative researcher
usually states and a prior expectation about the results of the study in one or more research
hypotheses before conducting the study, because the design of the research study and the
planned research design often is determined by the stated hypotheses. Thus, one of the
advantages of stating a research hypothesis is that it requires the researcher to fully think
through what the research question implies, what measurements and variables are involved,
and what statistical methods should be used to analyze the data.
Testing of Hypothesis:
Sales
Weekdays Average = 62,708.23
Weekends Average = 95,086.73
H0 (Average sales of weekdays = Average sales of weekend)
H1 (Average sales of weekdays Average sales of weekends)
H0: There is a significance difference between expectation and satisfaction level of sales
H1: There is no significance difference between expectation and satisfaction level of sales
At 5% level of significance H0 is accepted
Customers
Weekdays Average = 380.10
Weekends Average = 482.8
H0 (Average sales of weekdays = Average sales of weekend)
17

H1 (Average sales of weekdays Average sales of weekends)


H0: There is a significance difference between expectation and satisfaction level of
customers.
H1: There is no significance difference between expectation and satisfaction level of
customers.
At 5% level of significance H0 is accepted.

Purchase decision making pattern that is a complex amalgam of needs and desires,
and is influenced by factors such as the consumer's (1) societal role (parent, spouse, worker,
etc.), (2) social and cultural environment and norms, and (3) aspirations and inhibitions.

Buying Behaviour is in the Advertising, Marketing, & Sales and Purchasing &
Procurement subjects. A purchase process follows strong purchasing intentions. This involves
a series of selection, including the type of retail outlet as well the specific brand on service to
use. The consumers purchase then leads to various outcomes. One such outcome is
satisfaction as a result of direct experience in using the brands. Satisfaction will affect the
consumers belief about the brand. Other outcome is dissatisfaction and post sale doubt.
Many ad agencies conducted an in-depth study of consumer buying behaviour and
found that they all crave for peer acceptance and parental non-influence.

FINDINGS
I have two kinds of findings from my project. Some I got from the survey among the
customers and others I got from my observations.
Let us first discuss what I found from the survey.

53% of the customers who come to Reliance Fresh (DP) are mainly local people. It
means local people are very much aware of this store rather than outside of the
locality.

59% of the customers prefer to visit the store once in a week or twice in a week. That
means they prefer to visit the store frequently. They buy their products on weekly
basis.

51% of the customers are satisfied with the products available, though 48% of total
customers fall on the dissatisfaction category and they need more variety of brands.

69% of the customers are satisfied with the display of products. That means they find
their products very easily when they visit the store.

53% of the customers are satisfied with the price and offers provided by the store,
though 45% of total customers are not satisfied fully. They think more discounts
should be provided on products.

60% of the customers dont avail basket offers. But those who avail it are satisfied
with the combination of products. Some customers are not aware of the combinations
offered.

39% of the customers are satisfied with the price and quality of Reliance Private
Label products. But 17% of the customers are not availing it. Many of the customer
said that the price of private label product is high compared to other brands.

23

50% of the customers dont avail home delivery facility. One reason is that, reliance
provides home delivery facility within 2km around the store. So, the customers who
do not live within 2km of radius from the store cant avail this facility. Another reason
is, if customers shop for at least Rs. 700/- then only they can avail this facility. But
36% of total customers are satisfied with this facility.

62% of the customers are satisfied with the billing speed and check out time.
73% are satisfied with the overall customer service at the store.

Findings from observations


1. Majority of customers here is female.
2. Majority of customers are young.
3. Majority customers like to purchase all goods from Reliance fresh.
4. Customers like one stops shopping.
5. Local market till today is the first choice of customer.
6. Advertisement is the biggest way to attracting the customer.
7. Promotion scheme not so easy to understand for customer.
8. Most of customer is not fully satisfied with store.
9. Tele phone is the best way for attracting the customer.
10. Shortages of skilled workers.

24

LIMITATIONS

During the project I faced certain limitations. All customers did not respond to our
survey. That may be because of two reasons. Some of them were in hurry; they didnt have
time for answering the questions. Some of them were not interested to answer the survey. The
project has some limitations because it is totally based on efforts of individuals.
It is totally based on personal efforts of individuals.
Some of the consumers are unable to understand the questionnaire.
Language is one of the worst problem, some of the consumers are unable to
understand English.
Some consumers are not interested in filling questionnaire.

25

RECOMMENDATIONS & SUGGESTIONS


More promotion scheme should be used to penetrate the market.
Skilled employees should be hired because mostly customers are young.
Promotion scheme should be in such way that customer can understand easily.
Service of store should be provided in such a way that to fulfil the needs of the
customer.
Store can provide more telecalling and sms to make the customers aware of the offers
going in the store.
Store can try to sale fresh fruits and vegetables as customers often complain about the
quality of fruit and vegetable.
Reliance Fresh can keep the price at par with local market to gain competitive
advantage over local stores.
Reliance Fresh can introduce more variety of products to satisfy customers need.
Staffs should be motivated by frequent praises and appraisals.

26

CONCLUSION

It can be concluded that behaviour pattern of the customer is influence by the product and
service quality price and brand, consumer buying pattern is influenced by the store layout,
ambiance, behaviour of sales personnel, and after sales service of Reliance Fresh. Most of the
customers are ready to buy some product from another retail outlet, if they are not finding
good quality of products there in Reliance Fresh. Means customer want up gradation of the
product at Reliance Fresh. So that Reliance Fresh can face a tuff competition with the other
retail outlet. With the growing retail concept Reliance Fresh is really a fresh air in the arena
of vegetable and fruit market. But due to some political and local problems all Reliance stores
are not allowed to keep vegetables and fruits according to their goal.
