Modern Trade

Modern Trade is where global brands earn credibility in India. Chain retailers, supermarkets and hypermarkets deliver visibility, structured data and the shelf presence that legitimises the brand for every other channel.

Where we operate

The account and outlet universe.

  • National chains — Reliance Retail, DMart, Star, Spencer's, More, Vishal and Metro Cash & Carry
  • Regional supermarket chains with strong state-level franchises
  • Premium retail formats — Nature's Basket, Le Marché, Modern Bazaar and airport retail
  • Cash-and-carry / B2B wholesale formats bridging into HORECA and kirana

What we execute

Not advisory. Operating decisions, taken with your team.

01

Key-account strategy

Account-by-account plans covering listing, terms, planogram share, promo cadence and joint business objectives.

02

Joint Business Planning

Structured JBPs with top chains — annual volume, margin, activation calendars and category-growth commitments.

03

Category and shelf negotiation

Planogram share, cold-chain slotting, secondary displays and end-cap programmes.

04

Trade terms architecture

Margin, listing fees, back-margin, distributor structures and settlement cycles built to protect brand equity.

05

In-store execution

Merchandising cadence, promoter deployment, visibility audits and off-take analytics.

What good looks like

Outcomes we underwrite.

  • National listings across priority chains within a defined launch window

  • Category growth commitments backed by retailer JBPs, not one-off orders

  • Data-rich sell-out visibility that informs pricing and quick-commerce strategy
