Key Imperatives for Indian Retailers

A digital revolution is underway in India (proliferation of smartphones, and growing digital savviness of Indian consumers). Considering this, it becomes critical for retailers in India especially the organized retailers to understand the growing digital influence on shoppers.

The insights are significant from an Indian retailer’s perspective, clearly establishing how imperative digital and omni-channel is for the Indian retailer.
