Website Details Attached:

                

History:

 

Subject is India's largest supermarket, pharmacy and telecom chain. Started in 1997 as a single store entity in South Chennai, it is now present nationally with 800 outlets and spread across more than 60 cities. ICICI Venture Capital has a 24% stake in Subject.

 

Derived from the Sanskrit word, Subhiksham or "giver of all things good", Subject was founded by
Mr. R. Subramaniam, an IIT-Chennai & IIM-A alumni. His vision to deliver consistently better value to Indian consumers, has guided Subject to deliver savings to all consumers on each and every item that they need in their daily lives, 365 days a year, without any compromise on quality of goods purchased.

 

Subject now has the pan Indian presence with stores across Delhi, UP, Punjab, Hariyana, Gujarat, Maharashtra, AP, Karnataka and TN. Today, it is a multi-locational, professionally managed and vibrant organization that is poised to change the lives of millions of Indians, faster than ever before!

 

Making of the largest retail chain in India:

 

Recently Rediff.com carried a very interesting interview with first generation entrepreneur R Subramanian, who started Subject around 10 years ago, with its first store opened in Chennai in 1997.

 

Subramanian who did his B.Tech from IIT and PGDBM (MBA) from IIM, Ahmedabad has many first to his credit like starting asset securitization in early 90s, IPO financing in 94 and debentures trading.

 

Entering the retail market ten years ago


There was no great logic behind entering the retail market in 1997. They made a study of two areas: software and retail. Between software and retail, they thought they were a bit late for software as Satyam, Infosys, Wipro, TCS, etc had already established by then. They didn’t want to be a small and late entrant.
In retail, they would be one of the early entrants, so they would have the learning curve much to their advantage. They allocated a Rs 5 crore (Rs 50 million) corpus to it and entered the retail business. There was a lot of thought process behind it. They wanted to attract not the top end customer but the aam aadmi.
From their research of three months, they found that consumers prefer buying groceries from closer home. So, they decided to set up 1,000 sq ft shops all across the city and not a 10,000 sq ft big store at one location in Chennai.
The next question was why would he come to their store abandoning the existing store? It had to be the price, because ultimately there is no difference between the branded products like say Boost or Surf or such things. So, they decided to sell branded products at a lower price.


On starting Subject


They looked at all sorts of names; and finally they chose the Sanskrit word Subhiksha (prosperity) because it reflects the Indian ethos and it is a word that can be understood all over India. What they were trying to do was different from the western model; their model is truly Indian. Their theme was, why pay more when you can get it for less at Subhiksha?

 

In March, 1997, they opened their first store in Thiruvanmiyoor in Chennai with an investment of around Rs 4-5 lakh (Rs 400,000-500,000). They opened it with the clear idea that it is part of a larger system. They thought the day they opened, there would be a stampede because the prices were low and they would sell goods of Rs 30-40 lakh (Rs 3-4 million) by the month end. But there was nothing of that sort! They sold goods of only Rs 5-6 lakh (Rs 500,000-600,000) in the first month.

 

On his expansion plans

 

By March 1999, they started expanding rapidly. From 14 stores, they expanded to 50 stores by June 2000. In the next two years, they had 120-130 stores across Tamil Nadu. Another big thing was, in 2000, ICICI Venture invested in their company. Today, they have 145 stores all over Tamil Nadu.


They saw to it that the moment they got into a city, they started as many stores as possible there. Only that made business sense. Then, till 2004, they made sure that they consolidated before they expanded, though there was a lot of pressure on them to expand nationally.

 

They decided to look at every part of India which is significantly literate and is a significant consumption market. They wanted to be everywhere. They looked at the telecom companies as their role model. They employed capable regional managers and expanded.


Their business is also extremely local. They can’t sit in Chennai and run a store in Chandigarh. They decided to have very good quality people to run the region, area, town and the store.

 

In 2004-05, they decided to have 420 stores in places like Gujarat, Delhi, Mumbai, Andhra and Karnataka by 2006. In 2005, they started recruiting people in various regions. Today, they have 500 plus stores in all the places that they had planned. It will go up to 600-plus by the month end.

They are already India’s largest retail chain store with 500-plus stores. They plan to have 1,000-plus stores by the end of this year.


Risk in retailing and expansion?

 

They are not mad risk takers. They are not producing movies. They do a lot of research before starting business in an area, and they have back-up plans in place. They work with very good people, and if something goes wrong, they try to take corrective steps.

 

The big advantage they have is, they are not creating products. So there are no worries about whether it would succeed or not. Consumers are smart and they are all price-conscious and they want to finish the work as fast as they can. They don’t go to a provision store for fun.


On the entry of MNCs and Reliance in the retail market

 

Everybody has been asking me, are you worried about Wal-Mart coming to India? Ultimately Wal-Mart is also going to be run by people like them. The point is you need not worry about anybody’s entry. There is a huge potential for growth in India. There is potential for another ten people to come in.

 

Ultimately the share of the unorganised Kirana will come down and the share of organised sector will go up because of the efficacy in buying and distributing. Also, this is an extremely low margin business. Ultimately, everybody has to sell within the cost. It is not that they are geniuses; they have been in the business for ten years, and they have made enough mistakes and learnt from them.

 

They don’t think any child will learn to walk without falling down first, however good the parent is.

They made their mistakes when they were small. The bigger you are, the mistakes will cost you more.
