This research is the result of multiple face to face meetings with Indian retailers and a month long survey which was circulated to retail professionals around the world to understand what impact a localized mix could have in their topline fulfillment.

The report lists the key observations at a global level and tries to identify how Indian retail rates in comparison.

Key conclusions from the report include:

• Retailers across the globe are struggling with shrinking top lines
• For a store's success, merchandise mix is the second most critical factor after location
• Localized assortments helps boost sales volumes
• Store clustering and mix standardization form the basis of assortment planning
• Assortment plans need to be benchmarked against regional brands
• Backward integration of store requirements is critical to prevent bottom line depletion
• Inventory visibility across the chain is required to keep ageing under control
