As India witnessed surge of modern retail format over the last decade, significant developments have taken place in its retail landscape. The authors felt it appropriate to check the reality at ground level to ascertain the truth in earlier projections or perceptions towards the modern vis a vis traditional grocery retailing. Hence a study was undertaken, largely relying on secondary data, to identify key trends which in turn would provide critical insights to the academicians, researchers and policy makers. The analysis was done for a review period from 2008-13 and forecast period from 2013-18. Key findings include a robust growth in terms of number of outlets and turnover of both modern and traditional formats during review period. The forecast seems to be more promising for modern retailers than it is for the traditional players. As the customer are getting more discerning, and strive to get value for money, convenience and product variety, the modern retailer should leave no room for complacency to meet the growing and varying needs of the consumers. The traditional mom and pop stores need to go for substantial makeover to remain relevant and a reckoning force in the booming sphere.Keywords

Improving on the results of Montgomery [3] and Huxley [1], Ramachandra proved (see Lemma 4 of [5]) the following large value theorem:
THEOREM 1. Let an = an(N) (n = N+1, . . . , 2N) be complex numbers subject to the condition max |an| = O(Nε) for every ε > 0. Suppose that n N does not exceed a fixed power of T to be defined. Let V be a positive number such that V+1/v= O(Tε)for every ε > 0. Let Sr (r = 1, 2, ...,R; R≥2) be a set of distinct complex numbers Sr = σr + itr and let min σr = σ, 3/4 ≤ σ ≤ 1,
max tr - min tr + 20 = T, min |tr - tr|≥(log T)2.

We will prove that ζ(s) (s=σ+it), defined byζ(s)=Σn-s (σ>1), (1)
=(n-s-(n+u)-s)du+1/s-1 (σ>0),(2)
=(1-p-s)-1(σ>1),(1)
has infinity of complex zeros in a σ≥1/2-δ for every constant δ>0. (In (3) the product runs over all primes p). Let θ denote the least upper bound of the real parts of the zeros of ζ(s). Then by (3) we have trivially θ≤1 and by what we will prove it follows that θ≥1/2. These results are not new. But the merit of our proof is the fact that apart from using Cauchy’s Theorem for certain rectangles, we use only the simple facts given by (1), (2) and (3). The proof is simpler than the one given in [1]. Without complicating the proof we prove the following theorem.

In a recent paper [2] R. Balasubramanian and K. Ramachandra proved results likemax |ζ(1/2+it)|>t0-δ
where ∈ is an arbitrary positive constant, t0 exceeds a positive constant depending on ∈ and C(∈) depends on ∈. In fact their results were very general and they could replace ζ(1/2+it) by F(σ+it) for very general Dirichlet series P(s), and prove (1) for F(σ+it). In this paper we record three theorems and indicate their proof. These are probably well-known to the experts in this field or at least within their easy reach. But the results are so interesting that they deserve to be printed.
