With such a large population and the seventh largest economy in the world, why are there no large supermarkets in India?

To protect his own retail store. So we don't accept foreign supermarkets. But Indians can't open such a big supermarket. Therefore, even if India's economy is developing so rapidly today, it is hard to make people feel that this is a modern country. However, in recent years, India has also tried to relax the restrictions on foreign investment in Indian retail industry. However, limited by the national conditions, supermarket development can not survive in India.

Carrefour, as a world retail giant, is the pioneer of hypermarket format and has strong competitiveness in all countries in the world. Once in a monopoly position in many countries, it once discouraged other supermarket chain brands. At the end of 20 10, Carrefour opened its first cash-and-carry store in eastern Delhi, India, with a business area of 5,200 square meters. In three years, we have operated five batches of discovery, purchase and transportation stores. But in fact, compared with the operation in other countries, Carrefour's operation in India is very difficult. But this is the first supermarket chain brand to successfully enter India.

On the streets of India, you will find a very surprising thing. The orderly shelves in the store are empty, but the other shelves are crowded with people. The use of neat and simple shelves makes some low-and middle-income consumers in India feel depressed and alienated-they are more accustomed to crowded markets and shops. Buyers need that bustling feeling, and shops need noise and bargaining. If the aisle of the shop is wide, no one will be interested.

Therefore, the Future Group, India's largest retailer, deliberately narrowed the aisles and filled the shelves with goods, giving people the feeling of a common open-air market in India. The biggest problem faced by many enterprises such as Carrefour is actually the use of land. In many parts of India, land use rights are often vague, and land expropriation is also bound by various restrictive treaties. In addition, from the perspective of employment choice, although the retail industry has provided a large number of employment opportunities for Indians, in the eyes of Indians, working in this industry is not decent enough.
