Rural retailing presents a tremendous opportunity for growth in India. Over 50% of India's GDP comes from rural areas where the population is growing and disposable incomes are rising. While rural consumers traditionally had traditional outlooks, increased education and exposure are making them more brand conscious. Companies need to adapt their approach to respect local needs and flavors to succeed in rural India. Specifically, they should sell directly to producers, provide knowledge sharing, and treat farmers as customers to build trust. The opportunities outweigh the weaknesses but threats like urban migration must be addressed through strategic expansion of rural markets and support of supply chains.
