In this edition of IMAGES Retail, we have tried to focus on issues that are of utmost importance for the retailers, and one of such pertinent topic is of ‘Scalability’. Every retailer wants to scale up but to do that, they need more working capital. It is not always possible for a retailer to expand by only utilising his internal accruals there are when the external investors come into the picture. In today’s retail scenario, the need for external funding has become more important than ever. We have tried to bring the synopsis of the investments made in the retail sector; some of them have been successful while others busted. We hope that this story will help you in strategising your retail business game plan and you’ll get some insights on the pros and cons of raising money through external financing route.

Apart from this insightful and analytical cover story, we have a gamut of other interesting articles covering each and every aspect of retail. We have an article on how small-time retailers are gaining mileage through e-commerce marketplaces. We have also covered stories on CSR, CRM, and technology aspect of retail. In addition, we have an interesting article on omni channel retailing where we have showcased how it has become the need of the hour.

We hope that you will find this issue useful and informative.
