ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
In the first place, I thank the Padmashree Dr. D. Y. Patil University, Department of Business Management, Navi Mumbai for giving me an opportunity to work on this project. I would also like to thank Ms. Shilpa Varma, Lecturer, Department of Business Management, Padmashree Dr. D.Y. Patil University, Navi Mumbai for having given me her valuable guidance for the project. Without her help it would have been impossible for me to complete the project. I would also like to thank the various people from the retail industry who have provided me with a lot of information and in fact even sharing some of the confidential company documents and data many of which I have used in this report and without which this project could not have been completed. I would be failing in my duty if I do not acknowledge with a deep sense of gratitude the sacrifices made by my parents and thus have helped me in completing the project work successfully.

Preface
While searching for a suitable topic for the M.Phil Dissertation, I happened to meet a person from the Retail Sector, who suggested to me the topic on the Retail Sector of India. During the course of the discussion, it transpired that the problems that this sector faces is with respect to Foreign Direct Investment, Supply Chain Aspects and the intense competitive scenario in future say 2010 or 2012. The topics having aroused my curiosity, discussions were held with several people in the retail sector to understand the veracity of the above thought process and also understand the real issues plaguing the industry. All these aspects then resulted in the development of the project report titled Foreign Direct Investment, Supply Chain Aspects and the Competitive Scenario of the Retail Sector in India An Analysis of Problems, Implications and Perspectives with a case study of Pantaloon India Ltd. It is strongly hoped that this project covers not only the various requirements of the Project Study but also of the Industry. Signature of the Student
