Top Indian Retailers Ramp Up Hiring, Defying Urban Slump
Mint New Delhi
|August 20, 2025
Reliance Retail, Avenue Supermarts, Titan, and Trent added 46,000 employees in FY25
After a lull, top Indian retailers have resumed large-scale hiring. This time, it's driven by India's small cities and towns, even as urban demand has yet to climb out of a slump.
The four largest listed retailers—Reliance Retail Ltd (part of Reliance Industries Ltd), D'Mart operator Avenue Supermarts Ltd, Titan Co. and Trent Ltd—together added 46,000 employees in FY25, according to their annual reports. Just a year ago, the sector saw layoffs and hiring freezes as companies shut unprofitable large outlets.
However, over the past twelve months, they shifted focus to tier II and smaller cities, recruiting from nearby areas as consumption patterns in these regions now rival those of large metros.
