A Deloitte report states that more than 80% of the top 250 retailers have posted increase in their revenues. The sector has grabbed immense attention in the recent past. Consumers' appetite for luxury goods is robust, and marketing efforts of retailers focus on appealing to the aspirations of consumers, emphasizing on product value and consumer loyalty.

Earlier models of retail were mostly run as a family business with members staying and managing the business together due to the existence of joint family system. In the contemporary retail format, there are two trends; single multi-category stores or chains, and big stores. To survive in such an environment, retailers need multi skills; technical knowhow, and lead operations, manage their staff and cater to consumers. The requirements have increased manifold, and managing the retail business has also become complicated. A successful retailer needs to be a pied piper when dealing with his staff, managing his stake holders, and while attracting his customers.
Today's retailer is like a pied piper; in a positive note, involved in charming customers for enhancing sales, satisfying his employees to retain them, and managing his stake holders.
