Retailers
Association of India (rai)was launched in Mumbai on the 28th
of September, 2004 with the principal objective of being the voice
of Indian retailers. rai through its various efforts aims at uplifting
the standards of overall retailing in the country. Even as a few
of the key retailers of the country have come together to form
rai, this is just the first step towards ushering in the organized
retail revolution in India.
Besides,
the need of the hour is to address on a war footing the many issues
that face the organized retailing industry and its related services,
so that there is a hurdle - free environment for further enabling
retail growth in India. Your involvement and contribution to this
movement either as a retailer or as a service partner are considered
very significant. I fervently hope that together we can make a
distinct difference for facilitating the growth of organised retailing
and therefore the growth of the Indian economy too.
The
retailing canvas of our country is vast with great opportunities
for all stakeholders. I urge you to join hands with rai and strengthen
our efforts in every possible way to achieve a glorious future
for retailing in India!
