INAUGURAL SESSION: ‘India – Bharat: Exploring the World’s Biggest Consumer Story’

Referred to interchangeably as Bharat or India, the world’s sixth largest economy is a marketplace that is both

Referred to interchangeably as Bharat or India, the world’s sixth largest economy is a marketplace that is both lucrative and highly scalable. While consumption and retail growth in urban and semi-urban India continue to surge, much of India’s heartlands — “Bharat” — are also rising fast as vast consumer markets — and future retail hubs.

Indian retail market is the world's third-largest consumer market, where 65% of discovery happens online, 97% of shopping takes place offline. The winner will be one who can offer an affordable, high-quality experience both online and offline to a billion people. A recent article stated that there are 70 million online shoppers in India, of whom only 10 million can be classified as 'digital natives'. These numbers mean that today in a country of 1.3 billion people, less than 1 per cent would be considered to be digital natives.

How do we power the transformation of Retail in the dual and complex market of India/ Bharat.
