What is the vision for international operations?
In the 70s and 80s, there was a general feeling that retailing does not travel well outside of the home country. Today, international is close to 25 percent of our total revenue. We believe it will be much more significant going forward.

"Walmart"- International Major Global Retailer. Walmart has already produced several results to the international market which were earlier not accepted about GLOBALISATION OF RETAILING.

on Oct 21, 2009Walmart is launched at the right time in india and the place is the right and the place was piligrim area and the same time is golden city may i wish the future all so gold. My amibition is to work on that organization. i will wait for it to launch in south india.
on Oct 21, 2009Walmart have done very well in targeting North India to start of it's India operation as in south there are already a lot of local retailers who have organised operations and players like Metro has some presence. Also people in north are more experimental and get obsessed with anything that comes from western world.<br /> What remains to be seen is that whether it can repeat the success that it achieved in Amritsar store, with other cities. Amritsar is one of the biggest tourist attraction in India and hence have a big hotel and restaurant industry which constitutes a large costumer base for Walmart. This customer base might not be available to Walmart in other cities.<br /> Good luck to Walmart India. I would love to work with it one day.
