It’s not Child Labor, its Infant Labor!
This is one of the Supermarkets which Reliance Company had started in India with the brand name of ‘Reliance Fresh’. Last month, we went to visit an outlet in Bowenpalli, Hyderabad, where my second son is stacking while we were shopping!
Reliance pumped in several thousands of dollars into each location which created revolution in the traditional business circles. These outlets sell groceries, vegetables and fruits at a lesser price than the neighbor hood shops. More over, the ambience and the service is very professional. So anybody who has access to these shops will never again visit their neighborhood petty shop.
So, all these small vendors filed a petition in the court against this company and after couple of hearings, the court dismissed the petition citing no proof of violating any laws.
But, are these small vendors completely wiped off?? Not really- actually what happened is that they no more taking the customers granted. They have reduced their profit margins, and drastically improved their services. On the other hand, its evident that this company will not be able to sustain their business with lower prices, and high quality service. So, it’s back to normal…..
Finally who won the race?
