This leaves a huge unmet demand in serving the needs of affluent customers in smaller towns. SUMMARY OF OPPORTUNITY Existing ‘mom-and-pop’ stores are not able to meet the demands of affluent customers in towns. Organized retail chains are yet to penetrate these towns. Ecommerce is not yet a viable channel given that customers are not tech savvy, psychological barriers and limited infrastructure.
