At present, India is employing about 22 million people in retail i.e. at par
with USA. Organised retailing in India makes up for about Rs. 30 thousand
crore and business is expected to rise to more than Rs 100 thousand crore in
the year 2010! The present scenario depicts that there will be a very high
demand for talented manpower in the retail business. It is predictd that
retail employers in India will need more than two million skilled people in
various specialized areas for retail across the country. Retail is
challenging, engrossing, dynamic and quality education is required to
advance and succeed in the the Retail industry today.
Moreover, due to its correlation with other industrial and service sectors,
organised retailing is generating a great deal of indirect employment;
security, and electrical and mechanical maintenance, property management
services, parking, sorting, packaging, etc. If both direct and indirect
employment is taken together, organised retailing is bound to create more
and better-paid, better-quality jobs. This is a large growth opportunity in
an organized business that the country will see after a long time. Apart
from the direct jobs, every retail job created adds further jobs in the
support businesses.
