Re-Engineering Retail in India - Trends for 2019





 What should be the agenda for Retailers in India for 2019? 
There are two major trends for 2019 - 
1. ‘Hybrid’ retail – a network of fusion online-offline retail stores. Low-cost retail outlets – no inventory stores. Build accessible points for the population not in radar – expand the radar range. 
2. 'Customer Experience' – two categories of products – first - ‘low involvement’ category like grocery, FMCG, daily needs – here experience is secondary and speed to deliver the product is primary. The second – ‘high involvement’ category - products from fashion, lifestyle, tech, etc. where buying experience plays a key role. The Retailers need to constantly adapt technologies to deliver a better buying experience.  From Frogdesign.
 Happy Retailing 2019!!
