In other words, their business approach is to sell quality goods at reasonable prices by either manufacturing them self or directly procuring from manufacturers (primarily from small and medium size vendors and manufacturers). It facilitates one-stop-shop convenience for their customers and to cater to the needs of the entire family. Mr. Ram Chandra Agarwal,CMD, Vishal Retail Ltd. has been ranked as the 28th most pitiful person in the Indian retail industry. The saga of VishalGroup dates back to 2001 when its directors foresaw the emerging potentials in the retail industry which is indeed the largest sector in the global economy. Imbibing its innovative concepts and techniques the Group identified the vast scope of growth in retailing for the common man. What is retailing? Retail is the sale of goods and services from individuals or businesses to the end-user. Retailers are part of an integrated system called the supply chain. A retailer purchases goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers directly or through a wholesale, and then sells smaller quantities to the consumer for a profit. Retailing can be done in either fixed locations like stores or markets, door-to-door or by delivery. In the 2000s, an increasing amount of retailing is done using online websites, electronic payment, and then delivered via a courier or via other services. Retailing includes subordinated services, such as delivery. The term "retailer" is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals, such as for the public. Shops may be on residential streets, streets with few or no houses or in a shopping mall. Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only. Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation. Online retailing, a type of electronic commerce used for business-to-consumer (B2C) transactions andmail order, are forms of non-shop retailing. Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) are products that are sold quickly and at relatively low cost. Examples include non-durable goods such as soft drinks, toiletries, Over-the-counter drugs, toys, processed foods and many otherconsumables.[1][2] Though the profit margin made on FMCG products is relatively small (more so for retailers than the producers/suppliers), they are generally sold in large quantities; thus, the cumulative profit on such products can be substantial. FMCG is probably the most classic case of low margin and high volume business. Fast-moving consumer electronics are a type of FMCG and are typically low priced generic or easily substitutable consumer electronics, including mobile phones, MP3 players, game players, and digital cameras which are of disposable nature.

The product are displayed in a very geometrical pattern creating a huge but brush effect and sending across a message that the merchandise is comparable to FMCG products. • Small stores are not able to attract customers as the brands available are less. 4. OPPURTUNITIES Fresh stock at low price and thus trying to differentiate from other competitors. Customers who demand fashion merchandise with high and medium on quality available at accessible price to patronize the store. It can TARGET TIER II AND TIER III cities of the country and can adopt a market penetration strategy. The store offers in-house labels and thus has freshness associated with it. To convert brand loyalty into brand equity 5. THREATS Negligible awareness about the presence of store in cities where the store is not present. The company is started in a time when retailing is booming attracting lot of competition from various other players It has positioned itself for premium, middle income consumers it should also concentrate on lower middle income people. Mega mart faces cut throat competition from stores like “lifestyle, Pantaloons, and Shoppers Stop, reliance trends” respectively. These are well established in the market and grabbed a good market share. CLEARANCE & DISCOUNT SALE Mega mart stores clearance and discount sales are available throughout the year.

Ltd. (SFPPL)2 from [ICRA]A- (pronounced ICRA A minus) to [ICRA]A (pronounced ICRA A). ICRA has also upgraded the short-term rating for the Rs. 5.00-crore non- fund based bank facility of SFPPL from [ICRA]A2+ (pronounced ICRA A two plus) to [ICRA]A1 (pronounced ICRA A one). The outlook on the long-term rating is Stable. Rationale The rating upgrade primarily considers the steady increase in SFPPL’s scale of operations in recent years which is likely to continue in the near to medium term driven by its ongoing capacity expansion and increasing distribution network and significant improvement in the profit and coverage indicators in FY2018. ICRA also takes note of significant prepayment of term loans by SFPPL in FY2018, aided by improved cash accrual. The ratings also continue to draw comfort from the company’s established track record in the biscuit-manufacturing business, the strong market position of SFPPL’s brand (Bisk Farm) particularly in Eastern and North-Eastern India, which is backed by the Group’s experience of around four decades in distribution of FMCG and pharmaceutical products, and a favourable demand outlook of the biscuit industry.

  • Saj Food Products Pvt. Ltd.: Ratings Reaffirmed
    February 27, 2020 Saj Food Products Pvt. Ltd.: Ratings reaffirmed Summary of rating action Previous Rated Amount Current Rated Amount Instrument* Rating Action (Rs. crore) (Rs. crore) Fund Based – Term Loan 40.00 35.00 [ICRA]A (Stable); Reaffirmed Fund based – Cash Credit 50.00 50.00 [ICRA]A (Stable); Reaffirmed Non-fund Based – Bank 5.00 10.00 [ICRA]A1; Reaffirmed Guarantee/ Letter of Credit Total 95.00 95.00 *Instrument details are provided in Annexure-1 Rationale The reaffirmation of the ratings considers the established track record of Saj Food Products Pvt. Ltd. (SFPPL) in the biscuit- manufacturing business, strong market position of the company’s brand (Bisk Farm), particularly in eastern and north- eastern India, which is backed by the Group’s experience of around four decades in the distribution of FMCG and pharmaceutical products, and a favourable demand outlook of the biscuit industry. The ratings continue to draw comfort from the steady increase in SFPPL’s scale of operations in the recent years, which is likely to continue in the near to medium term, driven by its ongoing capacity expansion and increasing distribution network. ICRA also notes SFPPL’s conservative capital structure, comfortable debt coverage metrics and low working capital intensity of operations. A significant deterioration in the company’s profitability in FY2019 adversely impacted its ROCE, though the same is expected to improve in the current fiscal. The ratings, however, take into consideration the high sensitivity of the profitability of biscuit manufacturers, including SFPPL, to fluctuations in input costs (raw material prices, packaging materials, fuel, etc.) and intense competition from the unorganised players as well as other established peers, which are likely to keep its margins under check.

    April 05, 2021 Saj Food Products Pvt. Ltd.: Ratings reaffirmed and outlook on long-term rating revised to Positive Summary of rating action Previous Rated Amount Current Rated Amount Instrument* Rating Action (Rs. crore) (Rs. crore) [ICRA]A; Reaffirmed and outlook Fund Based – Term Loan 35.00 65.00 revised to Positive from Stable [ICRA]A; Reaffirmed and outlook Fund based – Cash Credit 50.00 20.00 revised to Positive from Stable Non-fund Based – Bank 10.00 10.00 [ICRA]A1; Reaffirmed Guarantee/ Letter of Credit Total 95.00 95.00 *Instrument details are provided in Annexure-1 Rationale The revision in the outlook on the long-term rating to Positive from Stable considers a consistent growth in the scale of operations demonstrated by Saj Food Products Pvt. Ltd. (SFPPL) in the recent years and its improving geographical diversification, as reflected by a significant increase in revenue from Maharashtra, post commissioning of the Nagpur plant and an improvement in share of revenues from some other states. The ratings continue to draw comfort from the company’s established track record in the biscuit manufacturing business, strong market position of its brand (Bisk Farm), particularly in eastern and north-eastern India, which is backed by the Group’s experience of around four decades in the distribution of FMCG and pharmaceutical products, and a favourable demand outlook of the biscuit industry. ICRA also notes SFPPL’s conservative capital structure, strong debt coverage metrics and low working capital intensity of operations. The company’s profitability improved in FY2020 and is likely to increase further in FY2021, aided by a significant decline in managerial remuneration and low advertisement and business promotion expenses amid a strong demand for packaged foods due to the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly in H1 FY2021.
