23. India has 35 towns each with a population over 1
million. If Wal-Mart were to open an average
Wal-Mart store in each of these cities and they
reached the average Wal-Mart performance per
store – we are looking at a turnover of over Rs.
80,330 million with only 10,195 employees.
Extrapolating this with the average trend in India,
it would mean displacing about 4,32,000 persons
