Varkeys Supermarket: Is end nearby?

Varkeys Bakery and Supermarket went out of stock for more than two weeks. Customers were returned saying there are some supplier issues which have been sorted out. According to media reports , Varkeys is facing liquidity crunch. Varkeys is reported to have 59 stores across Kerala in different formats generating Rs.180 crore in turnover. Varkeys is now looking for PE funds , which would be slightly difficult to come by as they have failed in an earlier attempt and there are cases of Subhiksha and Vishal Retail winding up or looking for fund infusion. Varkeys is the pioneer in organised retail in Kerala and is known for quality of products they sell but utmost professionalism was always missing. It is widely believed that rapid expansion has brought Varkeys in to this soup. Competition also is hardening with new organised players coming every now and then which includes Margin Free, Reliance and Big Bazaar. There are also neighbourhood stores morphing in to supermarket, as they are ...

Grand Kerala Shopping Festival - "Taxes Down the Drain"

Grand Kerala Shopping Festival [GKSF] is an initiative by Government of Kerala to enhance trade and commerce in Kerala. The festival, probably inspired from Dubai Shopping Festival [DSF], is huge considering the scale and reach across Kerala. The ongoing 3rd edition is poised to turn Kerala in to a big shopping mall, as claimed on the website . GKSF promises a lot - increased sales for traders, more opportunities for brand visibility, big prizes for consumers, reaching tourists at the peak season. But how this can be "Asia's biggest shopping festival". I do not get the evaluating parameter. I know one thing, people from world over catch a flight to be at Dubai, Singapore, Malaysia, etc (all in Asia) during their shopping season, not for GKSF. Kerala is one of the largest consumer market in India, just because of our purchasing power. It does not have anything to do with tourists spending here, as they mostly spend only for their stay in Kerala. I do not see GKS...

We get drunk and rape our children!

Rape incident in Delhi last month was brutal but I was not surprised. Because women in a vulnerable situation are exploited by men across the country. In cities women are molested more often in public spaces. Rape is an everyday incident outside cities. Women are raped by father, brother, neighbour, driver, insurgent, extremist, politician and police across India. A woman is raped every 22 minutes in India. In our capital city alone there was more than 600 reported incidents of rape last year. So why should I be surprised? I am more surprised about Kerala, where it seems that we only want to get drunk and rape infants & children. An individual and his friends are accused of rape by his 6 year old child . Another is to be hanged for raping a 15 year old . Father and his two sons are accused of raping 6 & 9 year old sisters living neighbourhood. Father, uncle & 15 year old brother are accused of rape by a 15 year old . Kerala police have registered 715 rape ca...
