FASHIONING A WINNING TRAIL - How to build sustainable business models in Indi...Kanvic Consulting
The elusive nature of success in India’s apparel retail industry has left many of its incumbents struggling, while still many more have fallen by the wayside during the economic turbulence of recent years. This report looks at the root causes of failure in the sector and highlights the persistent weakness of the surviving players. It then moves on to address the six key areas where Indian apparel retailers need to take action if they are to build the sustainable business models that will win in the future.
Why brick and mortar apparel retailers need to hit India’s e-retail hotspotsKanvic Consulting
Across regions, states and cities, Indian consumers are increasingly turning towards the Internet to shop for apparel. As the e-retail fever spreads to new geographies, building strength in digital channels will become an imperative for apparel retailers to both secure and expand their customer base.
The latest report by leading management consulting firm Kanvic has projected that the upcoming opening of new hospitals and the expansion of existing facilities in Jaipur will soon close the supply-demand gap for beds in the city. And with greater choice for patients, the city’s healthcare players are set to face tougher competition.
This report informs companies about the current and future prospects of these nascent ʻClick and Dialʼ distribution channels. Furthermore, it presents Kanvicʼs perspective on
their expected development and highlights the major opportunities for companies to prosper in this market space, by adapting their strategy to the specifics of the Indian consumer market.
TURNING UP THE COOL Realising untapped potential in India’s AC marketKanvic Consulting
In ‘Turning Up The Cool’ Kanvic sheds light on the cause of this low penetration rate and shows the shift in demand that occurred from the commercial to the residential segment. In so doing we can see how the industry has struggled to adapt to serve this larger but more complex consumer market. In this report we hope to provide the industry with practical strategy options that will enable it to more quickly realise the untapped potential of India’s room air-conditioning market.
Changing healthcare landscape A case of Jaipur city in IndiaKanvic Consulting
We have published a report on changing “healthcare landscape in India” with a specific focus on Jaipur. Our key findings from this report are how healthcare industry evolved in India and Jaipur, what are the implication for healthcare players, what are the key growth drivers for India and Jaipur's healthcare industry.

primary resource for planning and booking their holiday in India,
Operators providing online reservation and payment facilities for public
transportation and cultural sites should be a priority.
5 With international tourists regularly complaining of being hassled by
vendors and touts and being subjected to attempted scams, better
enforcement by public authorities could improve the visitor
experience.

27. Hotels will need to adapt to the booking practices of independent travelers and
provide a more diverse range of entertainment to attract more international tourists
1 With 70% of those surveyed using guide books to plan their trip,
Government having a presence in this ‘go to’ resource for international tourists is
paramount.
As only one third of international tourists booking their

and the ability to book directly over the internet is increasingly
important as more visitors plan their trip independently
3 Cleanliness and price are the overriding priorities of international
Restaurants & Bars
tourists when choosing their accommodation.
4 A location close to the main cultural sites is important given the
short length of stay of international tourists.
Retailers
5 With night time activities barely featuring in our survey, hotels could
boost their revenues from international tourists by providing late
Travel Agents & Tour night dining, drinking and entertainment.
Operators
6 With Delhi Airport acting as a gateway for 80% of international
tourists that come to Jaipur, the capital’s transport hubs, cultural
sites and hotels appear to be a strategic place for promoting a stay
in Jaipur.

28. The city’s bars and restaurants could attract more international tourists
1 Because guide books are the primary source for planning a stay in
Government Jaipur, a presence in this popular resource is the primary generator of
international tourist business for bars and restaurants in the city.
Hotels 2 With cleanliness a major concern for international tourists, having high
hygiene standards and effectively communicating these standards to
foreign tourists would be a good way for restaurants to attract
international clientele.
Restaurants & Bars
3 While the majority of international tourists are content with the number
of restaurants in the city, bars and other evening activities barely
feature in their stay. Increasing the range of evening leisure activities
Retailers targeted at the international tourist market could be lucrative for the
hospitality sector.

29. Providing products that are suitable to the international traveler and raising the
standard of business conduct could boost tourist spending in the city
60% of international tourists list shopping as a major activity during
Government
1
their stay in Jaipur however, it represents only 11% of their average
expenditure. It clearly demonstrates that there is room to generate
increased revenues from this activity.
Hotels
2 With a short average stay, the proximity of retailers to prime cultural
sites and hotels as well as their presence in guide books are an
important factor in generating international tourist revenues.
Restaurants & Bars
3 Furthermore, as Jaipur only features as a short part of a wider trip
around the region and /or India, goods that are both durable and
compact are more likely to capture the interest of international
Retailers tourists.
With some international tourists reporting being subject to attempted
4 scams by retailers, an industry code of conduct with an identifiable
Travel Agents & Tour
Operators logo for participants could attract international tourists to the majority
of retailers who comply with ethical business practices.

30. Local travel agents and tour operators must adapt to withstand increasing
competition from the entry of organized players
Government
Hotels
Restaurants & Bars
Retailers 1 With international tourists increasingly booking transport and
accommodation through the internet, local tour operators and travel
agents will need to increase their online presence.
Travel Agents & Tour
Operators 2 As local travel accounts for almost one third of an international
tourist’s daily budget, travel agents and tour operators will need to
ensure that pricing is competitive and communicated clearly.
3 As organized players enter the sector, local travel agents and tour
operators will face stiffer competition. Obtaining internationally
recognized status such as IATA membership will increase the
confidence of international tourists when booking with local agents.
