In Raghu's Memory

Remembering you sir today on 3rd july.

All the blogs that I have seen talk about you as father of modern retail in India staring with Foodworld.

Not many people either know or have written that you actually pioneered modern indian retail in 1984 with Dunlop tyre service centers when the concept of experiential offering to the customer weas non existent. Its therefore not in nintees but you actually introduced modern retail in india in the eightees.

As a Dunlopian and now a part of modern retail in india, we miss you raghu.
