Inventive India Delves Deep Into The Growth Story Of India’s Retail Sector

India's retail sector is undergoing exponential growth. The Indian retail market is the third-largest in Asia and fourth-largest in the world. Our price competitiveness and the 'Make in India'  initiative have made us an attractive global sourcing base, and this has helped the Indian retail sector surge to global heights. According to a research report by Forrester Research in 2020, India's retail sector was estimated at US$ 883 billion. With the accelerated push for E-Commerce due to COVID-19, the current growth we are witnessing is just the tip of the iceberg.
