Digital channels which are a miniscule percentage of modern retail today, will increase to 6 - 8 per cent of total modern retail amounting to about US$ 13.3bn – US$ 17.6bn by 2020.” Moreover, the platform is compliant to international quality standards by offering well advanced retail solutions and also offers integration with global supply chains.
“Apparel segments hold maximum share in the market with 35 per cent derived from high profit margins and easy supply chain. It is followed by FMCG which has 30 per cent market share. However, we are planning to explore myriad products and service industries including Media and Entertainment, FMCG, Real Estate, Pharmaceuticals, FnB, and Hospitality etc. With Franchise India Solutions in place, we aim at revolutionising the overall space by bringing forth new developments”, says Marya.
