Retail

The Indian retail industry is  one of the fastest-growing and most dynamic sectors,

contributing over 10% to the country’s GDP and 8% to employment. India ranks as the fifth-largest global retail market, attracting international brands due to its large middle class and untapped retail potential. The increasing purchasing power of urban consumers has led to a rising demand for branded products across categories like apparel, cosmetics, footwear, jewellery, food, and beverages, fueling rapid industry growth.

India is a highly attractive destination for global retailers, with many multinational companies eager to tap into its expanding consumer base. The market is set to witness significant expansion, with 60 new shopping malls adding 23.25 million square feet of retail space between 2023-2025. Factors such as rising urbanization, growing household incomes, and increasing consumer spending further strengthen India’s position as a top retail investment hub.

At Venus HR Consultancy, we specialize in leadership hiring for the retail sector, leveraging our industry expertise and extensive network to identify top talent. We recruit across key functions, including CEO & Brand Leadership, Category Management, Buying & Merchandising, Supply Chain, Retail Operations, Sales, Marketing, Product Tech, Finance, Legal, and HR, ensuring organizations have the right leadership to drive success in this evolving landscape.
