The Indian retail industry is one of the most vibrant industries in the country. It is currently ranked at 20th position among the top 30 developing countries identified by management consulting firm AT Kearney in its 2014 Global Retail Development Index (GRDI).

India remains an appealing, long-term retail destination for several reasons starting with its demography like half of India?s population is less than 30 years of age and roughly one-third of the population lives in cities. The disposable income of Indians is increasing allowing them to spend more and try new products, brands and categories. India?s retail market is likely to touch a whopping 47 trillion (US$ 738.71 billion) by 2016-17, expanding at a compounded annual growth rate of 15 per cent, a Yes Bank-Assocham study says.
