This document summarizes retailing and wholesaling in India. Retailing involves directly selling products to end customers for personal use, and is expected to grow 25-30% annually. Retail has organized and unorganized forms and includes sectors like food, clothing, and consumer durables. Wholesaling involves buying large quantities from manufacturers and reselling smaller quantities to retailers. It provides a vital link between manufacturers and retailers. Wholesaling is growing in India due to the potential in retail, manufacturers needing more wholesalers, and companies finding distribution costly.
