Stock Review: Pantaloon Retail

 

 

With reforms came organised retail. But who started the retail revolution? Kishore Biyani has come to be known as the retail king. In fact, before him were Viveks and chains such as Nilgiris. The K Raheja group promoted Shoppers Stop and Trent are often seen as the benchmark of retail. But it was Biyani who has shown an in satiable appetite for experimentation, an indomitable spirit of entrepreneurship and a passion for growth with his flagship Pantaloon Retail (India). The company has successfully capitalised on the reform process to launch Biyani's Future group to a pre-eminent position in retail, overcoming challenges from big business houses like the Tatas, Birlas and Mukesh Ambani.

Never has the word "Future" been so apt in corporate nomenclature.
