Retail sector in India now attracts the middle class people too. The offerings given by the retail stores makes people to visit again and again.It generates more employment opportunities too.
It’s really nice to hear that India has been ranked no:1 in retail sector. It generates more employment oppurtunities for the youth. If the big gaints like walmart, reliance and bharathi colloborate with the small retailers and co-operate, they will also get oppurtunity to grow and the services delivered also will be world class.
Its really a great news…
