In this episode of Boardroom, we uncover the incredible rise and dramatic fall of Big Bazaar and Kishore Biyani. From turning a simple retail idea into one of India’s biggest retail empires to building more than 1,700 stores, Kishore Biyani changed the way India shopped. We go back to the story of how a visit to Chennai’s Saravana Stores inspired the Big Bazaar model, how the iconic “Sabse Sasta Din” sale generated nearly ₹30 crore in a single day, and how rapid expansion brought massive debt along with it. We also look at the growing competition from DMart, the ₹24,713 crore Reliance deal, Amazon’s intervention, the legal battle that followed, and how more than 800 Big Bazaar stores eventually ended up under Reliance’s control. So how did one of India’s biggest retail empires go from massive crowds and record sales to bankruptcy?
