V-mart is a multi-brand family store that provides its customers true value for money.We offer our customers a great shopping experience each time they visit us by offering a vast range of products under one roof. Maintaining high standards in quality and design, our stores have come up to offer fashion garments at down-to-earth prices and over time emerged as the destination of choice for bargain hunters and the fashionable alike.
We primarily started our operations with the chain of “Value Retail” departmental store located in metro cities. Our stores cater the needs of the entire family altogether by offering apparels, general merchandise and kirana (cornershop) goods.
We have more than 59 stores across 51 cities including metro cities with a total area of more than 4 lac sq.ft. Our stores are located in prime cities such as New Delhi, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Punjab, Chandigarh, Haryana, Jammu and Kashmir, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. We are among the pioneers in setting up modern ambience stores or large retail malls across various small towns and cities including Sultanpur, Ujjain, Motihari and more.

History

First incorporated as Varin Commercial Private Limited under the Companies Act in 2002 in West Bengal. Then in 2004, we opened our maiden store in New Delhi.
The company was subsequently renamed to V-mart Retail Private Limited in 2006. In the year of 2008, we hit the base by registering V-mart Retail as a public limited entity.
As the time passes by we took the shape of a renowned family brand that caters the needs of whole family by offering high quality retail products. Along with growing customers, we achieved a turnover of over Rs 2,000 million in 2011-12.

Supply Chain Management

We believe an efficient supply chain system is the backbone of retail operations and it is very essential to strike an optimum balance between the adequate level of inventory whilst ensuring availability of products at all stores as per customer needs, as well as reducing operational costs. 

Our comprehensive Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) backed supply chain management system comprises of planning, merchandising, procurement, standardization, vendor management, logistics, quality control, pilferage control, replacement and replenishment.

V-mart adopts an integrated pro-active approach to manage our supply chain in which we plan our supply schedule based on the forecasted demand. This also helps us in understanding as well as adapting to the changing patterns in customer behaviour. Our merchandise and procurement planning, supply chain management and distribution network enables us to have shorter business cycles, thereby resulting in efficient working capital management.
