Carrefour Plans To Enter Indian Market

Written by: Dhawal Shah

Article Overview: Carrefour, the French retailer, plans to enter the Indian market by establishing a wholesale business. The Indian economy is one of the fastest growing in the world, with an increasing middle-class. However, unlike China, India’s growth has been fuelled by consumer spending, a fact that has caught the attention of foreign retail giants. However, restrictions on foreign retailers have meant that they have had to find a different route to enter this fast growing market.

Carrefour Plans To Enter Indian Market

Carrefour joins Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT), and Metro AG from Germany, which have started cash-and-carry ventures in India. “Carrefour will develop its activities in India with the start of cash & carry activities in 2010," the company said in an email statement to Reuters.

Indian law allows foreign retail firms to have franchise agreements with local players, and Carrefour has been in talks with local firms for 4 years now. "Carrefour and some Indian companies have been discussing partnerships," the company said, but would not to comment on which firms it had spoken with.

[/quote:gla81p60] And if it's NOT that much to raise... open up a service you can provide for non-Indian project providers. Elance.com, Guru.com, Rentacoder.com employ thousands of Indian service providers who complete projects and often times you can recoup $500 in one job. You just have to sell yourself there and complete a few projects. Warmest Regards, Takuya
Re: How should i promote a new website? Re: How should i promote a new website? - ignore this message IF it's already been stated. I haven't had a chance to read all the replies and i have to jet from the office... I suggest marketing where ever your Target Market congregates. If it's a forum of concerned parents - go there. Strike up a deal with the forum owner (JV) and have him promote it to the list of members (Integration Marketing). If you want to go with Forums then i would partner with a parent who is a frequent poster/moderator on a particular Target Market Forum and have him/her add your link to their signature. That was just a thought but it's not as intense once you get buy in from the Forum owner or high ranked poster/moderator. Hope that sparks some new ideas.
