1st Week
April; 10th was the day where I started my summer internship programe.that day I had a nice
feeling because we are for the first time exposed to the corporate world. We had to report to
the head office at sharp 10:00 am at FORTUNE TOWERS 1 st floor where the reliance office
is situated. After reaching there we all had to wait for 2 hrs because the man we are supposed
to meet was not there. So instead of meeting him we all meet Mr. Subir Verma (HR
TRAINEE). He has a dynamic personality in him which was clearly evident from his
introduction and the way he interacted with us. . Then he with another HR MR. Sarat meher
had a brief interaction of what exactly Reliance industry is all about. Then we all were
assigned for respective There are predominantly 5 6 work heads assigned to do a project on
the new format named H EALTH & WELLNESS , some were assigned to do a project on
dairy, some were into operations , Some were assigned to foresee the work conducted in the
marketing division. They have put me in Operation in Mahanadi Vihar store of Cuttack. Mr.
Sarat Meher took training session where we came across many retail term, how IT used in
retail. He spoke about Reliance Retail & Reliance Fresh. On 12 th I went to the store. There I
have assigned to take customers feed back & make a survey to find out what are the products
customer didnt get in the store.

2nd Week
During the 2nd week of our SIP I was told to do the sales work as assist customer .For this
purpose Mr. Bikash Lenka Assistant Store Manager Reliance Fresh, Mahanadi Vihar guided
me personally and taught me various aspect of sales, along with sales I was also learning
Store Operations Reliance Fresh. I learnt how the stock is transferred from DC to the store
and how the Stock Transfer Note is checked in the store on that basis a Goods Received Note
is prepared and then it is entered into SAP.

3rd WEEK
Week -3 was very much informative for me as I learned lots of things in this week. In this
week a very important aspect of organized retail was taught to us which is the backbone of
visual merchandise i.e. PLANOGRAM. A planogram is the systematic way of arranging the
different product category in the bays of the store, on the basis of planogram the product are
arranged in the store, for every category there is a planogram and on that basis the stock is
also maintained in the store basically the stock of planogram consist of 6 days. In the
planogram there are these things,

Category: - The Category is the basic unit of analysis of making merchandising decisions.
In general category is the assortment of items that the customer sees as reasonable substitutes
for each other. In Reliance Fresh there different category such as Staples, Processed Food,
Non- Food, Dairy etc.

Bay: - Bay consists of different fixtures which are used in the store to keep the products.
The different kinds of fixtures which are used in Reliance Fresh are

1 Wall Rack

2 Floor Rack
3 Hyper
4 Promo Bin
5 Top Pallets
6 Peg Wall
Article No. : - Article Number is the internal numbering code of Reliance retail which is
used to recognize the product on the basis of number as the software can easily recognize the
article no and it remains constant whereas EAN always varies due to offer for eg. If the a
product is having a offer and there is both old and new stock is available in the store then on
the basis of Article no EAN is changed on that product in which offer has been promoted.

Bar Code (EAN):- The machine-readable representation of the UPC Bar codes are read
by a scanner that passes over the code and registers the UPC. The width of each black line
and the subsequent white space between each line coincides with the numbers of the UPC.
UPC (pronounced as separate letters) Short for Universal Product Code, a unique 12-digit
number assigned to retail merchandise that identifies both the product and the vendor that
sells the product. The
UPC on a product typically appears adjacent to its Bar code, the
machine-readable representation of the UPC. The first six digits of the UPC are the vendors
unique identification number. All of the products that one vendor sells will have the same first
six digits in their system. The next five digits are the products unique reference number that
identifies the product within any one vendors line of products. The last number is called the
check digit that is used to verify that the UPC for that specific product is correct.
There are now five versions of UPC (A E) and two versions of EAN
(European Article numbers; version 8 - 13). The Japanese Article Numbering (JAN) code has
a single version identical to one of the EAN versions with the flag characters set to ``49''.
UPC and EAN symbols are fixed in length, can only encode numbers, and are continuous
symbolize using four element widths.

4th Week:- In this week I learned procedure before opening a new store, as the biggest
Reliance Fresh store approx of 10000 sq feet was opened in this week at KANIKA SQUARE
CUTTACK , I learned the different works which is done before opening a store . Again this
week was also very much informative regarding promotional aspect of Reliance Fresh as
during the last three days MAHA BACHAT MELA attracted a huge traffic to the store and
the best thing what I learned in this week that how the offers are generated.

5th Week:- This week was one of the best week during the OJT as his week was fully
devoted to promotion as this week Reliance Fresh arranged RAINBOW FEST i.e. KIDS
CARNIVAL to increase the footfall of the stores both in Bhubaneswar and Cuttack . Various
kinds of programs were arranged for kids which included CRAZZY COLORS , QUIZ
CRUSH, MAST QALANDAR FANCY DRESS, BABYS DAY OUT, CATWALK ,DANCE
COMPETITION and many other such programs , in Reliance Fresh Mahanadi Vihar Crazzy
colors, Quiz crush, Mast Qalandar & Nachle Mania were conducted due to the avalability of
space. The main objective was to increase the footfall which will ultimately increase the sales
of the store as per speculation Carnival resulted a huge success and a very good response
from the customer was found. Ultimately this fest was very good learning for me as during
this week I interacted to lots of people which helped me to understand the buying behavior of
the people , finally with the guidelines of my Store Manager I successfully conducted the
KIDS CARNIVAL in the store .

7th Week :- This week I learnt about the SAP as all the work which is performed in the
Reliance Fresh is done through SAP. SAP is actually a software which is specially designed
for Retailing purpose, basically there are 2 kinds of software used in Retail Sector to handle
all the operational work and they are called
1. Oracle
2. SAP
But the most widely used software is SAP and with the help of SAP almost each and every
work becomes systematic and easier to do because we dont have to maintain each and every
manual files if we are using SAP as once the data is entered in SAP then it is automatically
received by Head Office and the most important thing is that the chance of error is reduced
when we use SAP. In Reliance Fresh we call it as RETALIX STORELINE..

INTRODUCTION TO RETAIL

Start of Retail Trade


Early Trade
When man started to cultivate and harvest the land, he would occasionally find himself with a
surplus of goods. Once the needs of his family and local community were met, he would
attempt to trade his goods for different goods produced elsewhere. Thus markets were
formed. These early efforts to swap goods developed into more formal gatherings. When a
producer who had a surplus could not find another producer with suitable products to swap,
he may have allowed others to owe him goods. Thus early credit terms would have been
developed. This would have led to symbolic representations of such debts in the form of
valuable items (such as gemstones or beads), and eventually money.

Early Markets
Over time, producers would have seen value in deliberately over-producing in order to profit
from selling these goods. Merchants would also have begun to appear. They would travel
from village to village, purchasing these goods and selling them for a profit. Over time, both
producers and merchants, would regularly take their goods to one selling place in the
centre of the community. Thus, regular markets appeared.

The First Shops


Eventually, markets would become permanent fixtures i.e. shops. These shops along with the
logistics required to get the goods to them were, the start of the Retail Trade.

Origins of Retail Chains


It is likely that, as markets became more permanent fixtures they evolved into

shops.

Although advantageous in many respects, this removed the mobility that a peddler or
traveling merchant may still have enjoyed. For some shopkeepers, it made sense to obtain
extra stock and open up another shop, most probably operated by another family member.
This would recover business from peddlers, create new business and the greater volume
would allow the shopkeeper to strike a better deal with suppliers. Thus the Retail Chain
would have started. It is thought that this process was started in China over 2200 years ago
with a chain of shops owned by a trader called Lo Kass. Excavations reveal that shops in
ancient Rome were, in many respects, much like small shops are today, so it is most likely
that retailer chains existed then. From Family Business to formal structure

although retail

chains would have been mostly run by families, as some chains grew, they would have
needed to employ people from outside of their family. This was a limiting factor as there
would have been a limit to the amount of trusted non family members available to help run
the chain. Another, even more definite limiting factor was the distance the furthest shop
would have been from the original shop. The greater the distance, the more time and effort
would have been needed to effectively manage outpost shops and to service them with goods.
There was, therefore, a natural barrier to expansion. That was the case until transport and
communications became faster and more reliable. When this happened towards the end of the
19th century, chains became much bigger and more widespread. Many of these businesses
became more structured and formalized, leading to the retail chains that we see today.

How Retail Developed


Peddlers and Producers
The Retail Trade is rooted in two groups, the peddlers and producers. Peddlers tended to be
opportunistic in their choice of stock and

customer. They would purchase any goods that

they thought they could sell for a profit. Producers were interested in selling goods that they
had produced.

General Store
This division continues to this day with some shops specializing in specific areas, reflecting
their origins as outlets for producers (such as Pacific Concord of Hong Kong), and others
providing a broad mix, known as General Store (such as Caseys in the Midwest of the
U.S.A.).
Although specialist shops are still with us, over time, the general store has increasingly taken
on specialist products. Customers have found this to be more convenient than having to visit
many shops thus the term Convenience Store has also been applied to these shops. As the
popularity of general stores has grown, so has their size. This combined with the advent of
Self-Service has lead to the

Supermarket, or Superstore.

Self-Service Stores
Background
Up until the introduction of self-service stores, customers would simply ask the shopkeeper
for their goods. The shopkeeper would price them (weighing them if necessary), pack them in
a bag or other container (often supplied by the customer), tot up the bill and receive payment.
There was a personal one-to-one relationship between customer and shopkeeper. The First
Self-Service Store. This all changed in 1915 when Albert Gerrard opened the Groceteria in
Los Angeles, the first documented self-service store. This was soon followed a year later by
the Piggly Wiggly self-service store, founded by Clarence Saunders in Tennessee in the
U.S.

MBA

SUBMITTED BY: KSHITISH JENA / ROLL NO: 11MBAS03557

Efficiency
These entrepreneurs noticed that their staff had to spend a great deal of time taking grocery
orders from customers. The groceries were stacked on shelves allowing customers to walk
around and browse, collecting their shopping in a basket that was supplied. The shopkeeper
would only need to tot up the final bill at the end of the process and transfer the goods from
the basket to the customer and receive payment.

Growth
This new type of shopping was more efficient and many customers preferred it. Although
personal service stores remain to this day, this new concept started a rapid growth of selfservice stores in the United States. Other countries were slow to take up the idea, but there
has been a steady rise in the global amount of self-service stores ever since.

FINDINGS
1. Reliance Fresh store has opened in Mahanadi Vihar since December 2007, so all
the people of Mahanadi Vihar are aware of Reliance Fresh.
2. As this is a residential area & Reliance Fresh is a supermarket store, so most of its
customers are female. So in my survey 61% are female respondent and 39% are
male respondent.
3. It is very clear from the above table & graph that there are 53% customers whose
income is in between Rs.10, 000-20,000. 36% customers whose income is more
than Rs. 20,000 and 11% customers whose income is less than Rs. 10,000. So
from the above data we can conclude that Mahanadi vihar is posh area of Cuttack.
Because most of the customers are earning more than Rs. 10,000.
4. In Mahanadi Vihar most people are salaried person & depend on business. As my
survey shows 32% customers are salaried person, 27% customers has their own
business, while 25% customers are house wife/home maker and 12% respondent
are student. 32% salaried person also includes female.
5. As the store is situated in Mahanadi Vihar, so most people prefers the Reliance
Fresh for shopping. 51% said they like Reliance Fresh, while 27% vote goes to
Food Bazaar, Salasar mega store got 14% vote and only 8% people like Vishal
Mega Mart.
6. As we already know that it is posh area, so here 49% customers spent Rs.500Rs.1500 monthly for daily use products & groceries, while 32% customers spent
more than Rs. 1500 and only 19% customers spent less than Rs. 500.
7. While choosing a retail store for shopping most customers are looking for service
provided by the store. 32% customer said they look for service, while 22%
customer said they prefer nearer store, 21% people said they look the product
verities available in the store, 17% said they are more concern about the quality of
the product of the store, while 7% people are brand conscious and only 2% people
said they look for ambience. So we can conclude service is the key factor for any
retail store.
8. My survey shows despite the boom of organized retail industry, people are still go
to local kirana shop. As 53% customer said they prefer local kirana shop for
purchasing their groceries & daily use product. 36% in Mahanadi Vihar prefers
Reliance Fresh, 10% prefer other markets situated near by the area and no one
prefer Food Bazaar for purchasing groceries & daily use products.
9. As I have already said Reliance Fresh is in the Mahanadi Vihar, which is a
residential area so most of the resident has visited the store. 97% people have
visited the store, while only 3% people are still yet to open their account.
10. As Reliance Fresh is a supermarket thats why most of the customer visit the store
frequently. As per my survey 36% customer said they visited the store more
MBA

SUBMITTED BY: KSHITISH JENA / ROLL NO: 11MBAS03557


frequently, 30% said they visited at least once in a week, 28% customer visited
twice in a month and only 6% visited once in a month.
11. Most of the people are happy with the behaviour & helpfulness of the staff of
Reliance Fresh, Mahanadi Vihar store. Because 55% customer said customer
service is the main factor which differentiates Reliance Fresh with other retail
store, while 24% said quality of the products is the differential factor. 18% said
wider product range is the factor. While only 3% people voted to reasonable price.
That shows most customers are not happy with the pricing of Reliance Fresh.
12. My survey shows most customers are happy with the quality of product Reliance
Fresh dealt. Highest no. of customer i.e. 48% rated the quality as good, 31% rated
as best, 18% said average and only 3% said poor.
13. R-one card is a card which is given to the customers to gain loyalty points & avail
discounts from the store. As most of the people visit the store thats why almost
every customer posses R-One card. According to my survey 98% customers have
R-One card with them. And 2% doesnt have the card.
14. As, when the R-One card first issued to the customers, was a paper card which is
temporary so most of the customers forget to take the card while they go for
shopping to Reliance Fresh. Thats why 58% said they dont use the card
regularly. While 42% said they use the card regularly.
15. Through R-One card if a customer shops for Rs. 100 then he/she will get 1 point.
The value of 1 point is 0.70paise. in this way when he has 25 points with his/her
card then he/she can redeem the point by taking discount of Rs. 17.50 ( 25 X
0.70). so to get discount of Rs. 17.50 he/she has purchase worth Rs. 2500. Thats
why most of the customers are not happy with the benefits of R-One card. 74%
customer said they are not happy with the benefits of R-One card. 26% said yes
they are happy.
16. The temporary R-One card which is a paper card issued to the customers when
they first enroll, is being converted to a plastic card later. It means if that customer
become a loyal customer to the store then a plastic card is given to him, after that
he/she is suppose to use that plastic card instead of that temporary card. So when a
customer possess plastic card with him then he/she is assumed as a loyal customer
of the store. My survey shows only 37% customers are plastic card holder and
63% customers said they dont have plastic card with him. It is because most
customers are not regularly using their R-One card.
17. As we know due to local vendors dispute Reliance Fresh doesnt keep fresh
vegetables & fruits in its store in Orissa. But 42% customer said they want fresh
vegetables to be kept in the store, while 28% customer said they want fruits. 19%
said electronic items should be their in a store like Reliance Fresh and 11% said
they want apparels. In this 11% most of them are young ladies.

RECOMMENDATION
1. During my training I found most of the product upon which offer is going on
is not available in the store & most customers have to return back with empty
hands. So Reliance Fresh needs to keep as much as more products upon which
offer is going on.
2. Some of the CSA (Customer Service Associates) doesnt know about the
current offers. So, at that time they are not able to tell about the offers to the
customers. So they need to up-date themselves regarding current offers.
3. Many times offers shown in the signage doesnt match with the POS (Point Of
Sale). Thats why many customers get irritated with this kind of mis-match. So
Reliance Fresh needs to up-date their POS computer regarding offers.
4.

As the store is located in a residential area, so during afternoon time,


particularly from 11.30 A.M.-4.30 P.M. footfall is absolutely zero. So they
need give offer particularly for afternoon time. As it is a residential area so
most ladies customer those who are house wife might come for shopping to
avail the offer. The most important thing is they need to communicate or
promote these offer to the customers otherwise the offer is of no use.

5. Reliance Fresh offers gift set to its customers every week, those who shop for
Rs. 899, Rs. 999 etc. During my SIP many customer made complain that they
have already taken these gift set, so again these set will be wastage for them.
So instead of that gift set they want to get discount of that gift sets amount. So
Reliance Fresh can give discount or they need to change the gift.
6. Reliance Fresh need to target customers from other than Mahanadi Vihar.
During my survey I found CRRI is a potential area for the store. But
unfortunately only 1 customer comes to the store. Most people said they have
not seen the Mahanadi Vihar store. So they need to put board or hoardings in
the road showing the exact location.
7. They can go for news paper advertisement showing what is the weekend
special offer, what are the other individual offers. Because customer need to
aware of the offers. They can choose local news paper like Dharitri, Sambada,
Samaja etc. They can also go for tie-ups with FM Radio. Because most of the
people prefers FM-Radio as an entertainment. So it will also help the company
to promote themselves through FM.
8. In Reliance Fresh many customers come to purchase only one or two products.
During evening hours they have to wait for a long time to make the bill, which
irritates them a lot. Even I face the same problem. So they can make one POS
only for less than 7 items or 10 items like this.
9. In Mahanadi Vihar store I found that many schools are located around the
store. So many children are coming to the store & they are looking for sports
item. But unfortunately these items are not kept in the store. So in Mahanadi
MBA

52

SUBMITTED BY: KSHITISH JENA / ROLL NO: 11MBAS03557


Vihar store they should try to keep sports items like- ball, bat, badminton,
chess board, tennis racket etc.
10. Some of the products which are fast moving like- curd, Kurkure, Uncle Chips,
Bingo are not available as per the customers requirement. So category
manager needs to check all this things. The important thing is most of the
chips, which has been stalked for selling are expired. So they need to check all
this things.
11. The DC vehicle which comes to the store in a very odd time i.e. at 10.30 P.M.,
during evening time, need to come to the store during afternoon time, because
during that time footfall is less & employee seat idle. So this is the best time to
utilize employees.
12. The security system needs to be tighter. Because the security system which
prevails in the store is not enough to check both customer & employee
shoplifting. One security guard should be there at the back office door. To
prevent shoplifting the store can fit convex mirror at the roof of the store.
13. During my training many customer asked me why Reliance Fresh doesnt
mention the exact VAT amount in its bill. During my SIP I went to various
hotels for tie-up with Reliance Fresh. They have asked the same thing. So they
should mention clearly regarding VAT in their bill.
14. Company should focus on employee satisfaction. Because most of the
employees are not satisfied with their job. Company should provide a special
discount card for its employee if they purchase anything from the store. Tea or
coffee should provide to employees in the store.
15. In non-food section like hair oil, face wash etc. less brands are available in the
store. Customers are not getting the brands they want. So category manager
should take action on this. They need to keep more brands on this type of
products.
16. In the chocolate section manual billing should be done to check the
shoplifting. That means who ever will purchase chocolate need to pay the
amount there itself. No need to bill it in the POS.

CONCLUSION
My SIP has given me a live experience in learning like how to run & maintain a
store, how IT helps to retail organization, how to deal with the customer, how to
satisfy customer, how to maintain relation with the existing customers. I have
learnt the convincing & persuasive skills during my SIP.
This project work gave knowledge not only about retail business
but also the consumer behaviour. It also gave lesson about how culture of the
location affects the organization working style.
Different trainings are necessary for all kinds of jobs. A manager needs to know
the entire work take place in the organization to motivate employees. The survey
work gave me a chance to consult directly customers & know their expectation
from the company. Ive learnt about space management, basic need of the
consumer, employee motivation, stalking, dealing with customer and many more
grass root level knowledge.
I knew the difficulties faced by a manager & learnt how come up with more luster.
Ive faced an organization practically & Im very much happy to apply my MBA
knowledge during SIP.
