INDIA | INTERNET | SECTOR REPORT
The Tata group has embarked on a digital transformation journey. A
transition of this scale has little, if any, precedence globally. Challenges
abound. Nonetheless, a shift they must do as consumers have already
moved. What would such a transition entail? What are the key problems
they are trying to solve? Why do they need a super app in their quest to
be a digital enterprise? We dive deep in Tata’s transformation to find
answers to these questions. We also draw lessons from Walmart’s digital
pivot – one of the few successful transformation stories.

INDIA | INTERNET | SECTOR REPORT
Tata Digital - Elephant can dance
The Tata Group’s pivot to a digital commerce enterprise, necessitated by shifting consumer preferences, is underpinned by its Chairman
N. Chandrasekaran’s One Tata vision. We see Tata Neu, the recently launched super app, as emblematic of this transformation across
Tata’s consumer brands. Tata Neu is not just a unified digital gateway to bring the group’s various brands and their consumers onto one
platform. It has also spurred these brands to transform themselves to be “Neu ready”. Tata Digital is at the fulcrum of this transformation,
forging collaboration within group companies to leverage in-house technological know-how and plugging portfolio gaps through bolt-on
acquisitions. In India’s already crowded e-commerce space, Tata Neu’s wide coverage (c.95% of e-tailing GMV), leadership in key
categories, and an omnichannel presence should help it gain market share, in our view. Besides, presence of a large player like Tata will
accelerate market consolidation in favour of larger players. We also see higher deal activity by larger players to acquire niche players in the
e-commerce/e-commerce enabler segments to maintain their leadership position.
While Tata is ticking all the right boxes in their digital shift, the mere enormity of this transition makes this an audacious endeavour.
Drawing lessons from Walmart’s pivot to e-commerce (Exhibit 23-28), we believe Tata will need sustained investments in this space to
succeed. That said, we believe there is a lot of value in the Tata eco-system that Tata Digital can help unlock. Based on the GMV of key
categories on Tata Neu, we believe the value of Tata Digital could be upwards of USD 15bn.
Bridging the data divide Tata Neu - Not just old wine in a “Neu” bottle
Transition from a traditional to a digital commerce enterprise
requires shift from a product-centric to a data-driven, consumer-
centric business model. Gathering and pooling data of a
disjointed set of consumers across multiple channels is, therefore,
central to Tata’s digital shift. Tata’s two-pronged digital strategy
– a unified digital gateway at the front and digitally aligned
consumer businesses at the back – attempts to do just that. We
attempt to decipher both leg of Tata’s digital transformation
strategy in this report. In the first section, we look at the front-
end, consumer-facing digital initiatives that are reflected in Tata
Neu. In the next section, we dig into the back-end digital
transformation underway at individual consumer businesses.
Tata Neu is not just a mosaic of various consumer brands in one
app. It is an eco-system binding various Tata brands to one
platform. Customers’ check-in and check-out across channels
(Tata Neu or brand’s app/portal/site) happen on the Tata Neu
platform. This gives Tata Neu a singular view of the customers’
journey, which will enable it to offer personalised
recommendations and offers. More than stitching together
various brands, it is trying to stitch together data of these
disjointed customers. This is further evidenced by the fact that
NeuPass – Tata Neu’s reward programme – allows users to earn
and burn NeuCoins across channels, thus binding them to the
Tata eco-system rather than the Tata Neu app.
Transforming individual businesses to be “Neu” ready A formidable omni-channel retailer spanning 95% of market
Tata Digital is orchestrating digital transformation of individual
consumer businesses to complement the digital front-end. Having
put together a strong leadership team, it is heading digital
committees of these businesses to align leadership, forging
collaborations with the group’s technology and strategy
companies to define the digital product roadmap, and plugging
portfolio gaps through bolt-on acquisitions. More importantly, it
is acting as a platform to raise capital and deploy it in product
development and marketing centrally, thus taking the burden of
investment (and profitability conundrum) away from individual
businesses. With a war chest of c.USD 2bn and generous media
spend on Tata Neu’s launch, Tata has taken a firm step towards
its digital transformation journey.
Tata Neu’s product coverage spans c.95% of India’s e-tailing
market. Further, its market leadership in the fastest-growing
grocery segment and a compelling omni-channel presence in two
of the largest segments – Lifestyle and Electronics – position it
favourably to gain market share, in our view. That said, we see
market consolidation in favour of larger players aided by
acquisitions of niche companies. Based on individual businesses’
sales and our estimate of their likely online GMV, we believe the
value of Tata Digital could be upwards of USD 15bn. The
valuation picture is likely to evolve as more number of products
and services are on-boarded and smaller services scale. One thing
is certain though. If executed well, there is a lot of value within
the Tata group which Tata Digital can help unlock.

Default is Digital
“Going digital is no longer an option for all of us; it is the default”
N. Chandrasekaran at World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, 2015
N. Chandrasekaran, Chairman, Tata Sons, identified digital transformation as one of the key
priorities in taking the group’s businesses forward. Chandra’s conviction on the
imperativeness of digital transformation, as evidenced by his quote above, stems from his
tenure at TCS, in our view. He had a ringside view of the digital transformation that TCS
helped its clients undertake. He would also have seen the disruptions faced by businesses
that dithered on their digital journey. More importantly, successful digital transformation
stories of enterprise clients would have convinced him that the threat from new age digital
native upstarts is not insurmountable.
While digital transformation has become a necessity in almost all sectors, the shift in
consumer behaviour has made it absolutely essential in the consumer-facing businesses.
Retail commerce in India is not only shifting online, the next cohort of consumers is
increasingly coming from tier-1/2+ locations as the “mature” shopper segment stagnates.
This shift has only been accelerated by COVID. It, therefore, comes as no surprise that
consumer businesses were first in the pecking order in Tata’s digital transformation journey.

Brands’ digital presence is required not only to facilitate digital commerce but also to acquire
customer leads that could then be nurtured for omnichannel commerce. For example, c.60%
sales of smartphones – the largest e-commerce category by GMV – still happen offline.
However, product discovery predominantly happens online. A retailer with a limited digital
footprint is likely to miss out on this cohort of consumers.
While creating a digital presence for all consumer brands is an obvious first step, there are a
few more important problems that Tata had to solve to transform itself into a truly digital
consumer enterprise.
 Know your customers: One of the biggest gaps between a traditional and a digital retailer
is the data they have about their customers. A traditional retailer is essentially a product
company. It puts a product in as many channels as possible and hopes for a customer to
show up and buy that product. Its view of the business is through product movement -
from warehouse inventory, to supply chains to shelf space. A digital company, on the
other hand, has the customer at its centre. It has data on customer’s order history, buying
pattern, preferences, etc., and can give personalised recommendations accordingly. Here,
inventory management, new product category, etc., are driven by what customers are
looking for. Tata, with 2,500 physical stores across categories, has a large, loyal customer
base sans their data. Generating and pooling together the data of these customers is the
most complex problem that they need to solve, in our view.
 Nurture existing customers to cross-sell other Tata products and services: While lack of
data is an issue in brick and mortar segments, the issue with Tata’s digital brands such as
Big Basket and Tata CLiQ is different. The customer data of these brands reside in silos.
Further, absence of a unified e-commerce platform with multiple products and services
makes it difficult to cross-sell to these customers. A broad category of services, a platform
for product discovery, and an incentive to shop from Tata’s product suite are key to bind
customers to the Tata eco-system and increase overall life time value (LTV) of customers.
 A superior customer experience for customer retention: Creating a digital store front is
not enough to pull customers. Backend transformation - leadership, workforce, products,
logistics, etc., of individual businesses - is equally important to ensure a superior customer
experience.
Tata has adopted a two-pronged digital transformation strategy to tackle these challenges.
One, front-end transformation through the launch of its super app Tata Neu. Two, digital
transformation of individual consumer businesses to offer a seamless customer experience.
We attempt to decipher Tata’s digital transformation strategy in two parts. In the first section,
we look at the front-end, consumer-facing digital initiatives that are reflected in Tata Neu.
We explain how Tata Neu transcends beyond a platform to an eco-system to solve the data
and customer LTV problem. In the next section, we dig into the back-end digital
transformation underway at individual consumer businesses. We explore how the group has
strung together a digital transformation strategy to align individual businesses to the group’s
One Tata vision and complement the digital initiatives on the consumer front.

Tata Neu: Just old wine in “Neu” bottle? We think not
Tata Neu, the flagship super app launched by Tata Digital, is not merely a digital front of a
hypothetical Tata mall hosting multiple Tata brands at one place. It is an eco-system bringing
Tata’s data-driven omnichannel experience to consumers across multiple channels. It is even
emblematic of the digital transformation now well entrenched across consumer brands of the
Tata group. On one hand, it acts as a single gateway for consumers of various Tata brands,
thus pooling customer data centrally, which could be used for hyper-personalisation models,
discovery of various Tata offerings as well as to earn and burn reward points across
categories, thereby binding customers to the Tata eco-system. On the other hand, these
consumer brands have been transforming themselves to be “Neu Ready” to ensure
consistency in customer journey, efficiency in order fulfilment, superior omnichannel
experience, etc.
We look at various aspects of Tata Neu through a set of questions and answers below:
What are the various consumer categories offered by Tata Neu?
Tata Neu is a digital gateway for consumers to discover multiple products and services
offered by Tata. While many of the consumer brands are already on Neu, the remaining ones
such as Vistara, Air India, Tanishq, Titan, etc. will be onboarded soon.

What is the core purpose of a super app? Why does Tata need a super app?
The purpose of a super app for any digital enterprise is to increase utilisation of its
underlying asset. This underlying asset could either be software, customer data, a delivery
fleet or fulfillment centres. For example, South-east Asia’s super apps such as Gojek and Grab
have added multiple delivery based services to increase the efficiency of their fleet. The
increased efficiency of these assets is then supposed to create a perfect flywheel that will pull
in more products and services on one side and more consumers on the other.
Tata, however, is coming from the other end of the spectrum – it already has multiple and
disjointed product categories. Each of these categories has its own distinct underlying assets
– be it customer base or distribution channel. Therefore, the underlying asset whose
efficiency the Tata Neu app has to improve across various product categories is more
intangible in nature – brand, trust and loyalty. However, as we mentioned in the previous
section, the core problem in front of Tata is to gather data of this disjointed set of customers
at one place in order to leverage brand loyalty. It was, therefore, imperative for them to unify
all these categories.
Does Tata Neu qualify as a super app?
We believe any super app fundamentally has two key characteristics: a) a cohort of loyal
customers for one or more services being offered; and b) a high-frequency transaction
category to ensure constant engagement with this cohort and generate copious amounts of
customer data. The genesis of most of the super apps globally has been along these lines,
i.e., they could gather a core set of loyal customers for a high-frequency transacting category.
Tata Neu, however, is an exception. While brands like Tanishq and Titan have a loyal base of
customers, they have very little digital footprints to cross-sell other products. Similarly, Tata’s
digital brands such as Tata CLiQ or Caratlane have customer data, but their customers
engage only in occasional purchases. Tata has plugged this gap partially through acquisitions
of Big Basket and 1mg.

A wide assortment of products and services is another important characteristic of a super
app. In terms of categories, India’s e-tailing market is dominated predominantly by two
segments, Lifestyle and Consumer electronics, which make up close to 87% of the overall
GMV. Both these categories are available on Tata Neu through its lifestyle brands (Tata CLiQ
and Westside) and consumer electronics brand (Croma). Further, the acquisition of Big Basket
has enabled Tata Neu to offer grocery – the fastest-growing e-tailing category.
While the presence in these categories ensures that Tata Neu’s coverage spans c.95% of the
overall e-tailing segment, we notice that it is absent from long-tail categories such as books,
toys, etc. We believe long-tail products are critical for customer stickiness to a super app and
should be added to Tata Neu in due course to make it a one-stop digital shop for customers.
Unlike other super apps that increase the
efficiency of some tangible underlying
asset such as delivery fleet by offering
multiple products, Tata Neu’s core
purpose is to improve and leverage
efficiency of the Tata brand by unifying
data of its disjointed consumer cohort
While Tata Neu covers c.95% of the
e-commerce category, it needs to
add long-tail products to its portfolio
Tata Digital 3 June 2022
JM Financial Institutional Securities Limited Page 9
How is Tata Neu trying to stitch disjointed customers together?
On the face of it, Tata Neu appears to host existing Tata consumer apps such as Big Basket or
Tata CLiQ in a containerised form, i.e., it just redirects the users to the existing app. However
in reality, the integrations of Neu with individual apps run far deeper. For example, the
customer’s entry into any of these brands – either on the Tata Neu app or the brand’s own
app/website/physical store happens on Tata Neu’s platform. Similarly, the consumer’s check-
out across channels happens on Tata Pay’s payment gateway. Tata, thus, has a singular view
of the customer’s entire journey across consumer brands, irrespective of whether it happens
on the Tata Neu app or not. This is essential for Tata Neu to recommend personalised offers
to customers based on their purchase behaviour across categories. For customers also, it
allows them to earn rewards across channels, which should increase their stickiness with Tata
brands.
Why would users shift from individual apps to Tata Neu?
Tata Neu faces two challenges in bringing customers on to the Neu platform. One, the
categories on Neu are neither adjacent nor all-encompassing. It, therefore, will not be an
automatic choice for customers looking for a one-stop shop. Two, inventory in categories
such as hotels, flights, and food is limited to Tata’s own brands and will, therefore, limit the
customer’s choice and price discovery.
We believe Tata identifies these challenges and does not expect most users to shift to Tata
Neu immediately. While Tata Neu does offer NeuPass as an incentive for customers to
transact on its platform, the underlying construct is not to change a customer’s preferred
shopping destination. Tata Pay’s integration at multiple checkout points of individual brand
categories has enabled NeuPass to become an omnichannel reward programme. Through the
NeuPass reward platform, customers will be able to earn and burn NeuCoins even without
transacting on the Tata Neu app. In essence, rather than binding customers to Tata Neu,
NeuPass is binding them to the Tata ecosystem - a much deeper and long-term bond, in our
view.

By providing flexibility to customers
to earn and burn NeuCoins across

ecosystem rather than to Tata Neu
Tata Digital 3 June 2022
JM Financial Institutional Securities Limited Page 10
How is Tata Neu different from other Super Apps?
We believe there are two inherent differences between Tata Neu and other super apps. One,
with 2,500+ existing physical stores across categories, Tata Neu is an extension of the
omnichannel platform of these brands rather than being the primary e-commerce platform.
Two, unlike all other super apps, Tata Neu is not a marketplace. All the Tata brands on Tata
Neu hold their own inventory. That gives Tata Neu far tighter control over product quality as
well as customer experience.
While an inventory led model has its advantages, it hinders scalability, which is key to
creating a flywheel effect in digital commerce. Further, the success of other super apps has
been spurred by their open architecture. These two important features are currently missing
from Tata Neu. However, the company has mentioned in media articles that the app is built
on an open architecture and that they are open to host products and services from non-Tata
group companies. This, we believe, will be key to Tata Neu’s success.
How would Tata Neu impact e-commerce competitive landscape in India?
Given the scale and ambition of Tata’s digital commerce, we see three main competitors to
Tata Neu – Flipkart (along with Myntra) and Amazon in the e-commerce space, and Reliance
Retail in the omnichannel retail segment. Tata’s leadership in the fast-growing e-Grocery
segment (through Big Basket) and compelling omnichannel offerings in two of the largest e-
commerce categories – Lifestyle and Consumer Electronics – position it well to take market
share away from the incumbents.
That said, entry of another large player into India’s already crowded e-commerce space could
spur further consolidation in the market. Smaller “me-too” players are likely to lose out.
Further, we see these large players continuing their hunt for specialised e-commerce players
to fill their portfolio gaps in order to maintain leadership. Besides, we could see them
acquiring e-commerce enabling companies, e.g., logistics, data analytics, etc. to support
organic growth. We also see existing e-commerce players reacting to Tata’s digital push by
adopting a more omni-channel approach, at least at the margin, to compete with Tata’s
omni-channel proposition.

Digital transformation: A Tata playbook
The second part of Tata’s two-pronged digital strategy is to complement its digital front-end
with a digitally ready back-end. Spearheaded by Tata Digital, Tata has sewn together the Tata
Neu app with digital native businesses and the transformed consumer businesses in one
digital enterprise. In this section, we look at Tata’s playbook to transform its individual
consumer businesses.
Exhibit 17. Tata Digital’s playbook to string together various consumer businesses

Transformation of any enterprise is a challenging ask. Digital transformation of a 150-year-
old conglomerate as diverse as Tata is a mammoth undertaking. It is, therefore, not surprising
that a digital transformation of this scale has little, if any, precedence globally. We have tried
to outline some of biggest challenges facing the group in its transformation journey.
Challenges in front of Tata
Building a digital DNA
 With TCS in its fold, Tata always had enough technological wherewithal in-house to
effect a technology led change within the group. Despite that, many of the group
companies, especially in the customer facing businesses, lagged new age upstarts in their
digital capabilities and offerings. The challenge for the group was not, therefore, to make
these companies start thinking digital as a strategic differentiator but to align their
leadership, workforce, processes, logistics and products towards delivering that strategy.
Lack of collaboration for One Tata vision
 Many elements of digital transformation such as process re-imagination, technological
know-how, and re-skilling of workforce require a collaborative approach among internal
and external stakeholders. But group companies often work in silos, thus, missing out on
expertise lying within the group. While One Tata vision is easier to conceptualise, forging
the right partnerships within the group to execute on that vision is a far bigger challenge.
Investment versus profitability conundrum
 Pivot to a digital enterprise requires significant investments in technology, product as well
as digital marketing and promotion, more so in a consumer-facing business. This is where
start-ups typically outspend their traditional rivals, where profitability still remains a
significant KRA for the CEOs. Ensuring requisite investments along with maintaining
profitability metrics is a fine balancing act which the group had to pull off.

Tata Digital 3 June 2022
JM Financial Institutional Securities Limited Page 13
How about physical stores?
 Unlike digital native businesses, Tata’s starting point in digital transformation is very
different. Tata’s retail businesses have significant physical presence across categories. For
example, Croma has 150+ stores while Titan has over 2,000 stores. The challenge in front
of the group, therefore, is not only to bring various businesses under one digital umbrella,
but also to bring on-line and in-store customers of these businesses together on one
digital platform.
One Tata Vision:
Digital transformation at Tata Group is underpinned by Chairman Chandra’s One Tata
vision of simplifying, synergising and scaling. He envisioned different companies within the
group working together to create new business approaches and product differentiation.
One of the examples of One Tata outcome is Tata Motors’ Connected Vehicle Program
(CVP) which has been built in collaboration with Tata Elxsi, TCS and Tata Communications.

Tata Digital: A digital change agent
The genesis of Tata Digital, we believe, has been to address the above-mentioned challenges
by being a central change agent for the group. Tata Digital’s role is pivotal in implementing
the One Tata vision by stringing together a cohesive digital strategy, forging collaboration,
scouting for funds, identifying and plugging capabilities and portfolio gaps, etc. We list some
of these tasks performed by Tata Digital below:
 Platform for raising and deploying funds: Tata Digital will be responsible for raising funds
centrally for the group’s transformation needs. As per regulatory filings, Tata Sons has
infused Rs 118.7bn (c.USD 1.6bn) in Tata Digital thus far. Further, Tata Digital is likely to
raise funds from external investors, as per media articles. These funds can then be utilised
to either buy or build digital capabilities required for various consumer businesses. Tata
Digital, given its consolidated view of the digital capability gap in various businesses, is in
a relatively better position not only to raise funds but also to deploy them. For example, it
can build a data-driven, hyper-personalisation model or an omni-channel platform that
can then be used across the group companies. This also takes the burden (and
profitability conundrum) away from individual business P&L.
 Bolt-on acquisitions to fill portfolio gaps: e-Grocery, the fastest growing (and potentially
the largest) category in India’s e-commerce segment, was absent from Tata’s portfolio.
Tata also lacked a high-frequency transacting category whose users can form a core
digital cohort to cross-sell other products to. Tata Digital filled these gaps through its
acquisition of Big Basket, an e-Grocery firm and 1mg, an e-Pharmacy/e-Health company.
We believe Tata Digital will continue to do bolt-on acquisitions in the digital space to
augment in-house digital capabilities and add users/categories.

 Act as a unifying thread across businesses: With complete endorsement from the Tata
sons’ Chairman, Tata Digital is spearheading the digital committees of various consumer-
facing businesses and forging collaboration within the group. It has brought together the
group’s strategic arm (TSMG), technology providers (TCS, Tata Communications), and
digital businesses (Big Basket) with individual consumer-facing businesses to carry out
their digital transformation.
Given the scale and complexity of the task at hand, it is not surprising that Tata Digital has
put together a formidable team to carry out the transformation. Interestingly, the
composition of the team reflects the ethos of the transformation itself - a balance between
old and new. Senior leaders from TCS’ stable like Pratik Pal and Aarthi Subramanian are
complemented by some of the very successful entrepreneurs like Mukesh Bansal, Hari Menon
and Prashant Tandon.

With the digital vision, a leadership team and funding in place, the final piece of the journey
is to transform individual businesses along the stated vision. That, we believe, is already
underway. Based on media reports and our channel checks, we believe Tata Digital, along
with individual businesses, is following a broad template as depicted by the exhibit below to
effect the desired digital transformation.

Tata’s consumer companies such as Croma and Titan have been on a digital journey for the
past few years now. Croma is working very closely with TCS to build “Store of the future” to
offer a truly global omni-channel experience for its consumers. Titan is leveraging in-house
machine learning (ML) platform to perform demand forecasting and using AI frameworks for
creating new designs. We illustrate some of the digital transformation initiatives at these

Walmart’s digital pivot: A case study
Tata seems to be ticking all the right boxes in their digital transformation strategy. Be that as
it may, the mere enormity of this shift makes it an audacious and therefore a risky endeavour.
Many traditional retailers despite an attempt to transition to digital commerce have failed. For
example, brick and mortar retailers such as JC Penny and Sears, despite investments in digital
capabilities, could not transition successfully and had to file for bankruptcy. Walmart on the
other hand, is one of the few large brick and mortar retailers globally to have transformed
into a digital/omni-channel retailer. We look at Walmart’s story through the numbers to draw
some lessons for Tata.
Walmart started its e-commerce journey in the early part of the previous decade. However, in
the first few years, the steps were small and tentative. Between 2011 and 2014, Walmart
acquired 15 small companies tied in some way to e-commerce. However, the company
continued to invest heavily in new store additions. As a result, its e-commerce revenues
remained insignificant even as Amazon was increasingly taking away the market share.

Walmart’s first major step towards its e-commerce shift came in 2016 when it acquired
Jet.com for USD 3.3bn, one of its largest acquisitions till then. More than e-commerce
capabilities and traffic share, Walmart acquired Jet.com’s founder and e-commerce’s
supposed wonderkid Marc Lore. Besides, Walmart pivoted its Capex completely towards e-
commerce related investments. Sustained investments since then has started yielding results
now which are reflected in Walmart’s faster than industry growth in e-commerce.

While Tata is already two years into their digital transformation, we believe they are still at a
very nascent stage of this journey. It will require a longer term commitment and sustained
investments to finally succeed, in our view. Further, just like Walmart, Tata also needs to build
their digital offerings on top its physical stores to provide a differentiated value proposition to
customers. Not to mention, execution over a long period of time will hold the key.

Valuation guesstimate
Tata Digital, through its super app Tata Neu, acts as a digital marketplace for all Tata
consumer brands. Apart from the digital entities it has acquired, it does not own any of the
underlying brands on the platform. The valuation of the entity will, therefore, be akin to
valuing an e-commerce company. Given a lack of granular data around number of users
(MAU/MTU) and GMV as well as still early days since the launch of the platform, it is difficult
to accurately ascribe a value to the company. However, we have attempted to arrive at a
broad valuation based on the publicly available sales of individual brands and their likely
online GMV.

6-FY22 sales; Caratlane’s revenue assumed to be a proxy of Tanishq’s online revenue; FY30 revenue as per JMFe valuation of Caratlane
Source: VCCEdge, JM Financial estimates
Based on our estimate of GMV on Tata Neu platform and the GMV multiples that peers such
as Flipkart command, we believe the value of Tata Digital could be upwards of USD 15bn.
Note, we have not ascribed any value to Tata Pay and some of the smaller categories such as
Food and Travel. We therefore see valuation evolving as more number of products and
services are on-boarded on the platform and smaller services scale. One thing is certain
though. If executed well, there is a lot of value within the Tata group which Tata Digital can
help unlock.

  • 2. 3 June 2022 INDIA | INTERNET | SECTOR REPORT The Tata group has embarked on a digital transformation journey. A transition of this scale has little, if any, precedence globally. Challenges abound. Nonetheless, a shift they must do as consumers have already moved. What would such a transition entail? What are the key problems they are trying to solve? Why do they need a super app in their quest to be a digital enterprise? We dive deep in Tata’s transformation to find answers to these questions. We also draw lessons from Walmart’s digital pivot – one of the few successful transformation stories.

  • 3. 3 June 2022 INDIA | INTERNET | SECTOR REPORT Tata Digital - Elephant can dance The Tata Group’s pivot to a digital commerce enterprise, necessitated by shifting consumer preferences, is underpinned by its Chairman N. Chandrasekaran’s One Tata vision. We see Tata Neu, the recently launched super app, as emblematic of this transformation across Tata’s consumer brands. Tata Neu is not just a unified digital gateway to bring the group’s various brands and their consumers onto one platform. It has also spurred these brands to transform themselves to be “Neu ready”. Tata Digital is at the fulcrum of this transformation, forging collaboration within group companies to leverage in-house technological know-how and plugging portfolio gaps through bolt-on acquisitions. In India’s already crowded e-commerce space, Tata Neu’s wide coverage (c.95% of e-tailing GMV), leadership in key categories, and an omnichannel presence should help it gain market share, in our view. Besides, presence of a large player like Tata will accelerate market consolidation in favour of larger players. We also see higher deal activity by larger players to acquire niche players in the e-commerce/e-commerce enabler segments to maintain their leadership position. While Tata is ticking all the right boxes in their digital shift, the mere enormity of this transition makes this an audacious endeavour. Drawing lessons from Walmart’s pivot to e-commerce (Exhibit 23-28), we believe Tata will need sustained investments in this space to succeed. That said, we believe there is a lot of value in the Tata eco-system that Tata Digital can help unlock. Based on the GMV of key categories on Tata Neu, we believe the value of Tata Digital could be upwards of USD 15bn. Bridging the data divide Tata Neu - Not just old wine in a “Neu” bottle Transition from a traditional to a digital commerce enterprise requires shift from a product-centric to a data-driven, consumer- centric business model. Gathering and pooling data of a disjointed set of consumers across multiple channels is, therefore, central to Tata’s digital shift. Tata’s two-pronged digital strategy – a unified digital gateway at the front and digitally aligned consumer businesses at the back – attempts to do just that. We attempt to decipher both leg of Tata’s digital transformation strategy in this report. In the first section, we look at the front- end, consumer-facing digital initiatives that are reflected in Tata Neu. In the next section, we dig into the back-end digital transformation underway at individual consumer businesses. Tata Neu is not just a mosaic of various consumer brands in one app. It is an eco-system binding various Tata brands to one platform. Customers’ check-in and check-out across channels (Tata Neu or brand’s app/portal/site) happen on the Tata Neu platform. This gives Tata Neu a singular view of the customers’ journey, which will enable it to offer personalised recommendations and offers. More than stitching together various brands, it is trying to stitch together data of these disjointed customers. This is further evidenced by the fact that NeuPass – Tata Neu’s reward programme – allows users to earn and burn NeuCoins across channels, thus binding them to the Tata eco-system rather than the Tata Neu app. Transforming individual businesses to be “Neu” ready A formidable omni-channel retailer spanning 95% of market Tata Digital is orchestrating digital transformation of individual consumer businesses to complement the digital front-end. Having put together a strong leadership team, it is heading digital committees of these businesses to align leadership, forging collaborations with the group’s technology and strategy companies to define the digital product roadmap, and plugging portfolio gaps through bolt-on acquisitions. More importantly, it is acting as a platform to raise capital and deploy it in product development and marketing centrally, thus taking the burden of investment (and profitability conundrum) away from individual businesses. With a war chest of c.USD 2bn and generous media spend on Tata Neu’s launch, Tata has taken a firm step towards its digital transformation journey. Tata Neu’s product coverage spans c.95% of India’s e-tailing market. Further, its market leadership in the fastest-growing grocery segment and a compelling omni-channel presence in two of the largest segments – Lifestyle and Electronics – position it favourably to gain market share, in our view. That said, we see market consolidation in favour of larger players aided by acquisitions of niche companies. Based on individual businesses’ sales and our estimate of their likely online GMV, we believe the value of Tata Digital could be upwards of USD 15bn. The valuation picture is likely to evolve as more number of products and services are on-boarded and smaller services scale. One thing is certain though. If executed well, there is a lot of value within the Tata group which Tata Digital can help unlock.

  • 5. Tata Digital 3 June 2022 JM Financial Institutional Securities Limited Page 5 Default is Digital “Going digital is no longer an option for all of us; it is the default” N. Chandrasekaran at World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, 2015 N. Chandrasekaran, Chairman, Tata Sons, identified digital transformation as one of the key priorities in taking the group’s businesses forward. Chandra’s conviction on the imperativeness of digital transformation, as evidenced by his quote above, stems from his tenure at TCS, in our view. He had a ringside view of the digital transformation that TCS helped its clients undertake. He would also have seen the disruptions faced by businesses that dithered on their digital journey. More importantly, successful digital transformation stories of enterprise clients would have convinced him that the threat from new age digital native upstarts is not insurmountable. While digital transformation has become a necessity in almost all sectors, the shift in consumer behaviour has made it absolutely essential in the consumer-facing businesses. Retail commerce in India is not only shifting online, the next cohort of consumers is increasingly coming from tier-1/2+ locations as the “mature” shopper segment stagnates. This shift has only been accelerated by COVID. It, therefore, comes as no surprise that consumer businesses were first in the pecking order in Tata’s digital transformation journey.

  • 6. Tata Digital 3 June 2022 JM Financial Institutional Securities Limited Page 6 Brands’ digital presence is required not only to facilitate digital commerce but also to acquire customer leads that could then be nurtured for omnichannel commerce. For example, c.60% sales of smartphones – the largest e-commerce category by GMV – still happen offline. However, product discovery predominantly happens online. A retailer with a limited digital footprint is likely to miss out on this cohort of consumers. While creating a digital presence for all consumer brands is an obvious first step, there are a few more important problems that Tata had to solve to transform itself into a truly digital consumer enterprise.  Know your customers: One of the biggest gaps between a traditional and a digital retailer is the data they have about their customers. A traditional retailer is essentially a product company. It puts a product in as many channels as possible and hopes for a customer to show up and buy that product. Its view of the business is through product movement - from warehouse inventory, to supply chains to shelf space. A digital company, on the other hand, has the customer at its centre. It has data on customer’s order history, buying pattern, preferences, etc., and can give personalised recommendations accordingly. Here, inventory management, new product category, etc., are driven by what customers are looking for. Tata, with 2,500 physical stores across categories, has a large, loyal customer base sans their data. Generating and pooling together the data of these customers is the most complex problem that they need to solve, in our view.  Nurture existing customers to cross-sell other Tata products and services: While lack of data is an issue in brick and mortar segments, the issue with Tata’s digital brands such as Big Basket and Tata CLiQ is different. The customer data of these brands reside in silos. Further, absence of a unified e-commerce platform with multiple products and services makes it difficult to cross-sell to these customers. A broad category of services, a platform for product discovery, and an incentive to shop from Tata’s product suite are key to bind customers to the Tata eco-system and increase overall life time value (LTV) of customers.  A superior customer experience for customer retention: Creating a digital store front is not enough to pull customers. Backend transformation - leadership, workforce, products, logistics, etc., of individual businesses - is equally important to ensure a superior customer experience. Tata has adopted a two-pronged digital transformation strategy to tackle these challenges. One, front-end transformation through the launch of its super app Tata Neu. Two, digital transformation of individual consumer businesses to offer a seamless customer experience. We attempt to decipher Tata’s digital transformation strategy in two parts. In the first section, we look at the front-end, consumer-facing digital initiatives that are reflected in Tata Neu. We explain how Tata Neu transcends beyond a platform to an eco-system to solve the data and customer LTV problem. In the next section, we dig into the back-end digital transformation underway at individual consumer businesses. We explore how the group has strung together a digital transformation strategy to align individual businesses to the group’s One Tata vision and complement the digital initiatives on the consumer front.
  • 7. Tata Digital 3 June 2022 JM Financial Institutional Securities Limited Page 7 Tata Neu: Just old wine in “Neu” bottle? We think not Tata Neu, the flagship super app launched by Tata Digital, is not merely a digital front of a hypothetical Tata mall hosting multiple Tata brands at one place. It is an eco-system bringing Tata’s data-driven omnichannel experience to consumers across multiple channels. It is even emblematic of the digital transformation now well entrenched across consumer brands of the Tata group. On one hand, it acts as a single gateway for consumers of various Tata brands, thus pooling customer data centrally, which could be used for hyper-personalisation models, discovery of various Tata offerings as well as to earn and burn reward points across categories, thereby binding customers to the Tata eco-system. On the other hand, these consumer brands have been transforming themselves to be “Neu Ready” to ensure consistency in customer journey, efficiency in order fulfilment, superior omnichannel experience, etc. We look at various aspects of Tata Neu through a set of questions and answers below: What are the various consumer categories offered by Tata Neu? Tata Neu is a digital gateway for consumers to discover multiple products and services offered by Tata. While many of the consumer brands are already on Neu, the remaining ones such as Vistara, Air India, Tanishq, Titan, etc. will be onboarded soon. Exhibit 10.

  • 8. Tata Digital 3 June 2022 JM Financial Institutional Securities Limited Page 8 What is the core purpose of a super app? Why does Tata need a super app? The purpose of a super app for any digital enterprise is to increase utilisation of its underlying asset. This underlying asset could either be software, customer data, a delivery fleet or fulfillment centres. For example, South-east Asia’s super apps such as Gojek and Grab have added multiple delivery based services to increase the efficiency of their fleet. The increased efficiency of these assets is then supposed to create a perfect flywheel that will pull in more products and services on one side and more consumers on the other. Tata, however, is coming from the other end of the spectrum – it already has multiple and disjointed product categories. Each of these categories has its own distinct underlying assets – be it customer base or distribution channel. Therefore, the underlying asset whose efficiency the Tata Neu app has to improve across various product categories is more intangible in nature – brand, trust and loyalty. However, as we mentioned in the previous section, the core problem in front of Tata is to gather data of this disjointed set of customers at one place in order to leverage brand loyalty. It was, therefore, imperative for them to unify all these categories. Does Tata Neu qualify as a super app? We believe any super app fundamentally has two key characteristics: a) a cohort of loyal customers for one or more services being offered; and b) a high-frequency transaction category to ensure constant engagement with this cohort and generate copious amounts of customer data. The genesis of most of the super apps globally has been along these lines, i.e., they could gather a core set of loyal customers for a high-frequency transacting category. Tata Neu, however, is an exception. While brands like Tanishq and Titan have a loyal base of customers, they have very little digital footprints to cross-sell other products. Similarly, Tata’s digital brands such as Tata CLiQ or Caratlane have customer data, but their customers engage only in occasional purchases. Tata has plugged this gap partially through acquisitions of Big Basket and 1mg. Exhibit 12.

Both these categories are available on Tata Neu through its lifestyle brands (Tata CLiQ and Westside) and consumer electronics brand (Croma). Further, the acquisition of Big Basket has enabled Tata Neu to offer grocery – the fastest-growing e-tailing category. While the presence in these categories ensures that Tata Neu’s coverage spans c.95% of the overall e-tailing segment, we notice that it is absent from long-tail categories such as books, toys, etc. We believe long-tail products are critical for customer stickiness to a super app and should be added to Tata Neu in due course to make it a one-stop digital shop for customers. Unlike other super apps that increase the efficiency of some tangible underlying asset such as delivery fleet by offering multiple products, Tata Neu’s core purpose is to improve and leverage efficiency of the Tata brand by unifying data of its disjointed consumer cohort While Tata Neu covers c.95% of the e-commerce category, it needs to add long-tail products to its portfolio
  • 9. Tata Digital 3 June 2022 JM Financial Institutional Securities Limited Page 9 How is Tata Neu trying to stitch disjointed customers together? On the face of it, Tata Neu appears to host existing Tata consumer apps such as Big Basket or Tata CLiQ in a containerised form, i.e., it just redirects the users to the existing app. However in reality, the integrations of Neu with individual apps run far deeper. For example, the customer’s entry into any of these brands – either on the Tata Neu app or the brand’s own app/website/physical store happens on Tata Neu’s platform. Similarly, the consumer’s check- out across channels happens on Tata Pay’s payment gateway. Tata, thus, has a singular view of the customer’s entire journey across consumer brands, irrespective of whether it happens on the Tata Neu app or not. This is essential for Tata Neu to recommend personalised offers to customers based on their purchase behaviour across categories. For customers also, it allows them to earn rewards across channels, which should increase their stickiness with Tata brands. Why would users shift from individual apps to Tata Neu? Tata Neu faces two challenges in bringing customers on to the Neu platform. One, the categories on Neu are neither adjacent nor all-encompassing. It, therefore, will not be an automatic choice for customers looking for a one-stop shop. Two, inventory in categories such as hotels, flights, and food is limited to Tata’s own brands and will, therefore, limit the customer’s choice and price discovery. We believe Tata identifies these challenges and does not expect most users to shift to Tata Neu immediately. While Tata Neu does offer NeuPass as an incentive for customers to transact on its platform, the underlying construct is not to change a customer’s preferred shopping destination. Tata Pay’s integration at multiple checkout points of individual brand categories has enabled NeuPass to become an omnichannel reward programme. Through the NeuPass reward platform, customers will be able to earn and burn NeuCoins even without transacting on the Tata Neu app. In essence, rather than binding customers to Tata Neu, NeuPass is binding them to the Tata ecosystem - a much deeper and long-term bond, in our view. Exhibit 13. NeuPass - an omnichannel reward programme Source: Company, JM Financial NeuCoins in Tata Neu NeuCoins in Croma NeuCoins in Big Basket Tata Neu is not just hosting an individual brand’s app in a containerised form but is integrated with them at multiple touch points By providing flexibility to customers to earn and burn NeuCoins across channels, it is binding them to Tata ecosystem rather than to Tata Neu
  • 10. Tata Digital 3 June 2022 JM Financial Institutional Securities Limited Page 10 How is Tata Neu different from other Super Apps? We believe there are two inherent differences between Tata Neu and other super apps. One, with 2,500+ existing physical stores across categories, Tata Neu is an extension of the omnichannel platform of these brands rather than being the primary e-commerce platform. Two, unlike all other super apps, Tata Neu is not a marketplace. All the Tata brands on Tata Neu hold their own inventory. That gives Tata Neu far tighter control over product quality as well as customer experience. While an inventory led model has its advantages, it hinders scalability, which is key to creating a flywheel effect in digital commerce. Further, the success of other super apps has been spurred by their open architecture. These two important features are currently missing from Tata Neu. However, the company has mentioned in media articles that the app is built on an open architecture and that they are open to host products and services from non-Tata group companies. This, we believe, will be key to Tata Neu’s success. How would Tata Neu impact e-commerce competitive landscape in India? Given the scale and ambition of Tata’s digital commerce, we see three main competitors to Tata Neu – Flipkart (along with Myntra) and Amazon in the e-commerce space, and Reliance Retail in the omnichannel retail segment. Tata’s leadership in the fast-growing e-Grocery segment (through Big Basket) and compelling omnichannel offerings in two of the largest e- commerce categories – Lifestyle and Consumer Electronics – position it well to take market share away from the incumbents. That said, entry of another large player into India’s already crowded e-commerce space could spur further consolidation in the market. Smaller “me-too” players are likely to lose out. Further, we see these large players continuing their hunt for specialised e-commerce players to fill their portfolio gaps in order to maintain leadership. Besides, we could see them acquiring e-commerce enabling companies, e.g., logistics, data analytics, etc. to support organic growth. We also see existing e-commerce players reacting to Tata’s digital push by adopting a more omni-channel approach, at least at the margin, to compete with Tata’s omni-channel proposition. Exhibit 14.

  • 12. Tata Digital 3 June 2022 JM Financial Institutional Securities Limited Page 12 Digital transformation: A Tata playbook The second part of Tata’s two-pronged digital strategy is to complement its digital front-end with a digitally ready back-end. Spearheaded by Tata Digital, Tata has sewn together the Tata Neu app with digital native businesses and the transformed consumer businesses in one digital enterprise. In this section, we look at Tata’s playbook to transform its individual consumer businesses. Exhibit 17. Tata Digital’s playbook to string together various consumer businesses Source: Company, Media Article, JM Financial Transformation of any enterprise is a challenging ask. Digital transformation of a 150-year- old conglomerate as diverse as Tata is a mammoth undertaking. It is, therefore, not surprising that a digital transformation of this scale has little, if any, precedence globally. We have tried to outline some of biggest challenges facing the group in its transformation journey. Challenges in front of Tata Building a digital DNA  With TCS in its fold, Tata always had enough technological wherewithal in-house to effect a technology led change within the group. Despite that, many of the group companies, especially in the customer facing businesses, lagged new age upstarts in their digital capabilities and offerings. The challenge for the group was not, therefore, to make these companies start thinking digital as a strategic differentiator but to align their leadership, workforce, processes, logistics and products towards delivering that strategy. Lack of collaboration for One Tata vision  Many elements of digital transformation such as process re-imagination, technological know-how, and re-skilling of workforce require a collaborative approach among internal and external stakeholders. But group companies often work in silos, thus, missing out on expertise lying within the group. While One Tata vision is easier to conceptualise, forging the right partnerships within the group to execute on that vision is a far bigger challenge. Investment versus profitability conundrum  Pivot to a digital enterprise requires significant investments in technology, product as well as digital marketing and promotion, more so in a consumer-facing business. This is where start-ups typically outspend their traditional rivals, where profitability still remains a significant KRA for the CEOs. Ensuring requisite investments along with maintaining profitability metrics is a fine balancing act which the group had to pull off.  Infrastructure Layer: Tata Communication, Tata Technologies  Data Layer: Tata Consultancy Services, Tata Elxsi  Application Later: Tata Consultancy Services, Tata iQ  Strategic Layer: Tata Strategic Management Group, Tata Digital Fullfilment Croma Westside Tata CLiQ Omnichannel /CX/UX Titan Croma Tanishq Product Innovation Tata NQ Qmin IHCL Data Insights StarQuik Tata Capital Tata AIA Tata AIG  Digital Businesses: Big Basket, Tata 1mg, Curefit Digital Gateway: Tata Neu, Tata Pay Transformed Enablers Digital Native Strategic and Technology companies within the Tata Group have collaborated with existing consumer businesses to assist in their digital transformation and make them “Neu Ready” Newly acquired digital native businesses will not only bring in a core cohort of consumers to Tata Neu but also help existing consumer businesses in their back-end fulfilment capabilities Tata Neu and Tata Pay act as a unified check-in and check-out point across all consumer brands across all channels
  • 13. Tata Digital 3 June 2022 JM Financial Institutional Securities Limited Page 13 How about physical stores?  Unlike digital native businesses, Tata’s starting point in digital transformation is very different. Tata’s retail businesses have significant physical presence across categories. For example, Croma has 150+ stores while Titan has over 2,000 stores. The challenge in front of the group, therefore, is not only to bring various businesses under one digital umbrella, but also to bring on-line and in-store customers of these businesses together on one digital platform. One Tata Vision: Digital transformation at Tata Group is underpinned by Chairman Chandra’s One Tata vision of simplifying, synergising and scaling. He envisioned different companies within the group working together to create new business approaches and product differentiation. One of the examples of One Tata outcome is Tata Motors’ Connected Vehicle Program (CVP) which has been built in collaboration with Tata Elxsi, TCS and Tata Communications.
  • 14. Tata Digital 3 June 2022 JM Financial Institutional Securities Limited Page 14 Tata Digital: A digital change agent The genesis of Tata Digital, we believe, has been to address the above-mentioned challenges by being a central change agent for the group. Tata Digital’s role is pivotal in implementing the One Tata vision by stringing together a cohesive digital strategy, forging collaboration, scouting for funds, identifying and plugging capabilities and portfolio gaps, etc. We list some of these tasks performed by Tata Digital below:  Platform for raising and deploying funds: Tata Digital will be responsible for raising funds centrally for the group’s transformation needs. As per regulatory filings, Tata Sons has infused Rs 118.7bn (c.USD 1.6bn) in Tata Digital thus far. Further, Tata Digital is likely to raise funds from external investors, as per media articles. These funds can then be utilised to either buy or build digital capabilities required for various consumer businesses. Tata Digital, given its consolidated view of the digital capability gap in various businesses, is in a relatively better position not only to raise funds but also to deploy them. For example, it can build a data-driven, hyper-personalisation model or an omni-channel platform that can then be used across the group companies. This also takes the burden (and profitability conundrum) away from individual business P&L.  Bolt-on acquisitions to fill portfolio gaps: e-Grocery, the fastest growing (and potentially the largest) category in India’s e-commerce segment, was absent from Tata’s portfolio. Tata also lacked a high-frequency transacting category whose users can form a core digital cohort to cross-sell other products to. Tata Digital filled these gaps through its acquisition of Big Basket, an e-Grocery firm and 1mg, an e-Pharmacy/e-Health company. We believe Tata Digital will continue to do bolt-on acquisitions in the digital space to augment in-house digital capabilities and add users/categories. Exhibit 18. Tata Digital has been selectively acquiring companies to plug portfolio gaps Target companies Category Acquisition Date Stake Consideration (USD mn) Rationale and synergy Big Basket e-Grocery Jan-21 64.30% 1,217 Entry into hyperlocal grocery space; access to Big Basket's distribution network and next-gen transport management system (TMS) expertise 1mg e-Health Apr-21 57.58% 103.95 Entry into fast-growing ePharmacy and eDiagnostic space Curefit Health and Fitness Jun-21 NA 74.53 Mukesh Bansal, Founder and CEO of Curefit, joins Tata Digital Source: VCCEdge, JM Financial  Act as a unifying thread across businesses: With complete endorsement from the Tata sons’ Chairman, Tata Digital is spearheading the digital committees of various consumer- facing businesses and forging collaboration within the group. It has brought together the group’s strategic arm (TSMG), technology providers (TCS, Tata Communications), and digital businesses (Big Basket) with individual consumer-facing businesses to carry out their digital transformation. Given the scale and complexity of the task at hand, it is not surprising that Tata Digital has put together a formidable team to carry out the transformation. Interestingly, the composition of the team reflects the ethos of the transformation itself - a balance between old and new. Senior leaders from TCS’ stable like Pratik Pal and Aarthi Subramanian are complemented by some of the very successful entrepreneurs like Mukesh Bansal, Hari Menon and Prashant Tandon. Tata Sons has infused Rs 118.7bn (c.USD 1.6bn) in Tata Digital so far TCS has a business unit dedicated to Tata Group Relationship

That, we believe, is already underway. Based on media reports and our channel checks, we believe Tata Digital, along with individual businesses, is following a broad template as depicted by the exhibit below to effect the desired digital transformation. Exhibit 20. Digital transformation template adopted by Tata Digital for individual businesses - Illustrative Source: Company, Media articles, JM Financial Digital Committee Business Goal Collaboration Workforce Transformation Integrations • Set up a digital committee (with members from Tata Digital) within each of the consumer businesses • Hiring of the right digital leaders within individual businesses to align with “One Tata” vision • Fortnightly meeting and review of the progress along the digital vision • Conduct Digital Value Assessment (DVA) to identify relevant use cases for digital transformation • Set up a measurable business goal specific to the business entity • Build a roadmap of products and services to achieve the business goal • Identify partners within the Tata Ecosystem to help in the digital transformation e.g TCS as Technology partner, TSMG as strategic partner • Build an internal dedicated digital team to collaborate with these partners and work towards the business goal • Create “One IT” team by removing the distinction between IT Services and digital team • Strengthen product and digital team to build a continuous product roadmap • Create a cognitive workforce in customer facing businesses through training and technology interventions to augment in-store customer engagement • Integration with Tata Neu platform both at the entry (login) and exit (checkout) of the customer for a frictionless unified customer experience + to facilitate earn and burn of reward points • Leveraging the fulfilment capabilities of other group companies (e.g Big Basket) for operational efficiency at the back end
  • 16. Tata Digital 3 June 2022 JM Financial Institutional Securities Limited Page 16 Tata’s consumer companies such as Croma and Titan have been on a digital journey for the past few years now. Croma is working very closely with TCS to build “Store of the future” to offer a truly global omni-channel experience for its consumers. Titan is leveraging in-house machine learning (ML) platform to perform demand forecasting and using AI frameworks for creating new designs.

  • 17. Tata Digital 3 June 2022 JM Financial Institutional Securities Limited Page 17 Walmart’s digital pivot: A case study Tata seems to be ticking all the right boxes in their digital transformation strategy. Be that as it may, the mere enormity of this shift makes it an audacious and therefore a risky endeavour. Many traditional retailers despite an attempt to transition to digital commerce have failed. For example, brick and mortar retailers such as JC Penny and Sears, despite investments in digital capabilities, could not transition successfully and had to file for bankruptcy. Walmart on the other hand, is one of the few large brick and mortar retailers globally to have transformed into a digital/omni-channel retailer. We look at Walmart’s story through the numbers to draw some lessons for Tata. Walmart started its e-commerce journey in the early part of the previous decade. However, in the first few years, the steps were small and tentative. Between 2011 and 2014, Walmart acquired 15 small companies tied in some way to e-commerce. However, the company continued to invest heavily in new store additions. As a result, its e-commerce revenues remained insignificant even as Amazon was increasingly taking away the market share.

More than e-commerce capabilities and traffic share, Walmart acquired Jet.com’s founder and e-commerce’s supposed wonderkid Marc Lore. Besides, Walmart pivoted its Capex completely towards e- commerce related investments. Sustained investments since then has started yielding results now which are reflected in Walmart’s faster than industry growth in e-commerce.

It will require a longer term commitment and sustained investments to finally succeed, in our view. Further, just like Walmart, Tata also needs to build their digital offerings on top its physical stores to provide a differentiated value proposition to customers. Not to mention, execution over a long period of time will hold the key. 3.6% 4.9% 6.5% 10.7% 11.1% 44% 40% 37% 79% 11% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 0.0% 2.0% 4.0% 6.0% 8.0% 10.0% 12.0% FY18 FY19 FY20 FY21 FY22 Walmart US eCommerce Sales share Walmart US eCommerce Sales Growth (YoY) - RHS 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% 0 200 400 600 800 1000 FY18 FY19 FY20 FY21 FY22 USD bn Walmart US Amazon US e-commerce YoY Growth - Walmart US - RHS YoY Growth - Amazon - RHS YoY Growth - US e-commerce - RHS Another aspect of Walmart’s rivalry with Amazon has been a convergence of their strategy towards omni-channel, at least at the margin.

  • 19. Tata Digital 3 June 2022 JM Financial Institutional Securities Limited Page 19 Valuation guesstimate Tata Digital, through its super app Tata Neu, acts as a digital marketplace for all Tata consumer brands. Apart from the digital entities it has acquired, it does not own any of the underlying brands on the platform. The valuation of the entity will, therefore, be akin to valuing an e-commerce company. Given a lack of granular data around number of users (MAU/MTU) and GMV as well as still early days since the launch of the platform, it is difficult to accurately ascribe a value to the company. However, we have attempted to arrive at a broad valuation based on the publicly available sales of individual brands and their likely online GMV. Exhibit 31.Tata Digital: GMV on Tata Neu Sales - FY21/FY22 Sales CAGR - Past 3 years Sales CAGR - Till FY30 Sales - FY30 (INR mn) Sales - FY30 (USD mn) GMV attributable to Tata Neu (%) GMV - Tata Neu (USD mn) Big Basket1 65,582 60.6% 35.0% 976,762 12,852 64.3% 8,264 1mg2 3,094 53.3% 35.0% 46,077 606 57.6% 349 Curefit3 1,614 87.0% 35.0% 24,038 316 10.0% 32 Infinity Retail (Croma)4 53,150 5.0% 20.0% 274,241 3,608 50.0% 1,804 Tata Unistore (Tata CLiQ) 3,565 48.5% 35.0% 53,102 699 100.0% 699 Westside 5 19,404 15.3% 15.0% 68,260 898 25.0% 225 Caratlane 6 12,650 41.8% 29.2% 98,082 1,291 100.0% 1,291 Total 159,058 1,540,561 20,271 12,663 Note: 1 – FY21 sales; GMV attributable to Tata Neu adjusted to reflect Tata Digital’s stake in Big Basket; 2- FY21 sales; GMV attributable to Tata Neu adjusted to reflect Tata Digital’s stake in 1mg; 3- FY21 sales; GMV attributable to Tata Neu adjusted to reflect Tata Digital’s stake in Curefit as per JMFe; 4- FY21 sales; assumed online share to reach 25% by FY30 which will be attributable to Tata Neu; 5- FY22 sales; Westside’s revenue assumed to be 50% of Trent’s revenue; online sales estimate of 25% by FY30 attributable to Tata Neu; 6-FY22 sales; Caratlane’s revenue assumed to be a proxy of Tanishq’s online revenue; FY30 revenue as per JMFe valuation of Caratlane Source: VCCEdge, JM Financial estimates Based on our estimate of GMV on Tata Neu platform and the GMV multiples that peers such as Flipkart command, we believe the value of Tata Digital could be upwards of USD 15bn. Note, we have not ascribed any value to Tata Pay and some of the smaller categories such as Food and Travel. We therefore see valuation evolving as more number of products and services are on-boarded on the platform and smaller services scale. One thing is certain though. If executed well, there is a lot of value within the Tata group which Tata Digital can help unlock.
