Today we have one of the most successful businessmen in India. We have Kishore Biyani in conversation with Raj Shamani. He had a net worth of $1.78 billion. He is the founder of some of our most loved brands Pantaloon and Big Bazaar.
In today’s episode, we will dive deep into Kishore Biyani’s stories, ideas, and observations that led to such successful businesses. We talked about the young days that shaped him into such a brilliant person. The habits we can inculcate to become exceptionally great at what we do. He shares an interesting story and breakdown of how he started Pantaloon and Big Bazaar. He talks about how to spot new trends, and how to include them and scale the business. We talked about different brand-building strategies used while building a brand for different consumer segments.
Towards the end, he also shared which cities in India fascinate him and the reasons behind them. He explains the difference between how the Indian market and consumption pattern has changed over the years. I also asked him two things that he would change if he had a chance to start everything from scratch and his answer was quite different from what I expected. This episode was one of those episodes where I was constantly surprised by the detailed observations he was sharing about business, market, and consumer behaviour. If you are a budding entrepreneur then this episode will give you a new perspective to look at business.

[@meerajahagirdar557]

Raj Shamanic, Among so many big businesses, big bazar and Kishore Biryani hi has commanded respect from me. I was very happy to hear him speak. He is always very frank. Self-starter,gives out gem. One question I would like him to answer is 1. How do you ensure loyalty of your employees,2. Of your suppliers 3. His banking approach 4. How to understand money ? Is he going to start big bazar again ? It was called huge best brand started by a man of ideas... Thank you Raj Shamami

[@SrikanthPanchangamM]

Worked for future group for 4 yrs. It shaped me what I am today . I still miss those stores. Shri Kishore Biyani remains inspiration for generations. What happened with FG was unfortunate and unavoidable …it was a vibrant and growth oriented organization . Thank you Raj for this great interaction with Shri Kishore Biyani

[@raghav1533]

Do you know someone named vineet jain in future group ?

[@king_ving]

I also loved the way the anchor carried this interview, within 20 mins he has asked about BB downfall which I was expecting at the end, later so many things were discussed KB’s knowledge about market is just awesome. Great session.

[@shinazmd1664]

Good insights. Me being a retailer in Bangalore managing supermarkets for last 15 odd years , we are also Ina similar situation were operating profits are too low and survival without proper funds is a big challenge.. e-commerce , d-marts,,, always feel there should be some regulations on pricings which help retailers like us also survive in this market…if you can bring in someone who can throw some insights into these challenges would be great… when we astarted our operations back in 1990s there were hardly any self service outlets.. but if we have to do something now we have to do it really big, for that funding is a big challenge .

[@catalyst.viraaj]

Just remember one thing. Every product has a life cycle and every business also has a life cycle. Along with that Markets keep evolving. So if anyone has to survive or grow in the market, these factors cannot be ignored. Whichever company or business entity it may be. They cannot escape this.

[@Avinab2]

I can listen to him the whole day. He is like the encyclopedia of business in India. Though how he dealt with Future group at the end can be questionable, but his knowledge regarding how a business should operate in an indian context cannot be questioned.

[@makarandgolatkar]

Kishor Biyaniji is like superstar of Business one flop does not impact him... Been fan of his journey and his book made him to know very close.... His vision and understanding of BHARAT is very real.... And the real advice comes last few mins.... Sir I m sure you must be planning something big for comeback and it will be big surprise for all... Thanks Raj for this episode 🙏🏻

Kishore sir is a true visionary.. his knowledge of Indian market is impeccable.. thanks for bringing him to educate the youth ..🎉

[@amitrewadkar7239]

A visionary is one who has a future planning and retaining brands and growth, where is future in all this aspects?? No where Kishore had good concept but no success he kept selling all his ventures, why? See tatats, birlas, how zodia operates, how is pantaloons doing now under birla? Sorry his thought process and planning is not planning

[@yatinsoinmusic8173]

@@amitrewadkar7239 I know he isn't as successful as tatas birlas and his businesses has declined over time but comparison with Tatas, birlas would not be a good idea. They have accumulated generational wealth where as bayani started from scratch. I am only saying he can educate youth for a good start but not a happy ending though.

[@saranshmishra2267]

Hi Raj, Parth here, I'm from Nagpur, and I learned a lot from this conversation with Mr. Kishore Biyani also thank you Raj for bringing a guest like him and what Kishore sir said about the youth leaving Nagpur city is very true but about the aspirational value he mentioned, I feel like it was true pre-pandemic, but post-pandemic the aspirational value has significantly changed.

[@yettosort8294]

Fantastic. The best and must interview for everyone with entrepreneurial aspiration in India. Abdul Kalam used to say ...Don't study success stories..Study the failures .. You can learn a lot. My Questions to such people would be ... 1. What is the importance of clarity of thoughts... Did he meditate etc ? 2. Time Management and Prioritisation tips ? 3. Did he employ people with employee mindset or entrepreneurial mindset ? 4. Did he do risk assessment and envisaged the risk of going out of business when he leveraged his business ? 5. Who were his role models ? Or what was his aspiration ?

[@eddiedass]

One of the best conversations I have seen in a long long time. The Maharaja of Indian Retail and what an insight he has shared..I liked the best when he talk about his understanding of different Indian cities. This is Gold. Thank you Raj

Kishore Sirji, iam into the sports goods business since 15 years and have sourced many brand products of Wilson, Spalding, from your future distribution for my store.

You were and will always be an inspiration to me. This interview felt like I am sitting with my guru giving out small tips and tricks. From today on i am watching every episode of this pod cast

You could see the pain in his demeanor when Big Bazar failure was discussed. Covid messed up many things, BB was one of them. They would have been real competition to Dmart. Let's hope Jio gets BB control sooner from predatory Amazon.

Kishore Biyani is a pioneer of Retail and he was ahead of time in terms of setting up Huge Pentaloons ( I have been to HYD Pantaloon in 98/99), Big format stores, malls, creating a Bazar atmosphere, BIG day discount shows etc. Somewhere he went overboard in terms of scale/stretch( he himself humbly agrees). Very sad to see him selling of his jewels and shutting himself out. It didn't well interms of getting torn between Amazon and RIL. Great to see his passion, keen observations and thoughtful initiatives. I know he is past his prime years, However I hope and wish he comes back in some form of business. Excellent discussion, gracefully conducted. Congrats Raj. You are doing great services to business community, founders and aspiring founders

[@finvestigation299]

Wow I mean this man is a treasure of knowledge. I hope I can create something with him as an advisor. And his point about VC is so true. Firstly the funding goes to foreign graduates then to IIT’s and till the time it's done there is nothing left. Soon with abundance in purchasing power each state will have its own VC Fund who will find gems in the local universities and create huge businesses
