Hi, The Indian retail sector is one of the top five in the world and is one of the fastest growing. Therefore an MBA in retail management can be a good choice if you have the aptitude for it and you are ready to apply the requisite skill sets or are willing to acquire skill sets for the same. Global retailers are far larger in size than the Indian retail players and their entry is likely to bring in significant changes in the employment scenario in this sector. All good companies look for qualified and trained personal in the retail sector. The designations will be typical of the retail industry like Store Manager, Retail Sales Merchandiser, Competitive Intelligence Analyst, Stock and Inventory Associate, Loss Prevention Manager, Personal Shopper, Visual Merchandiser, Buyers etc. The designations in the retail industry are completely different from others and you will not encounter designations like Area Manager, which are typical for consumer products or services industries.

Hi, MBA in retail is a good course to pursue as it offers good career prospects and excellent growth opportunities. A person with MBA in Retail has career prospects in supply chains, exporting houses and departmental stores. Manufacturing companies also recruit retail managers to reach out to the customers directly. Banking, finance and insurance companies also need professional retail managers to bring their products directly to the customer. IT and IT enabled services companies particularly in the field of telecommunication also require large numbers of retail mangers, besides these education and health care industry also absorb a large number of retail managers. Retail Management graduates normally start with a salary of Rs 20,000 to Rs 25,000 per month in private sector. With some quality experiences in retailing one can easily reaches up to 6-figure pay packages. Retail graduates from reputed institutes even touch 7-figure mark with 5-7 years of experiences. Good Luck. All the Best.
