Let’s have a thread when we can share interesting data points about various industries so that we get an brief idea about different sectors of the economy :
Size (estimated) - 20,000 crores
Organised : 8000 crore (of which 32% is the market share of bisleri = 2560 crore)
Unorganised : 12000 crore
Source : Tata group makes offer for a stake in Bisleri International: Report
So you are a long term investor, and not an active trader like many of the regular members?
I do both. but, after one point - the real money is in investing.
So, its like 30% trading and 70% investing for me currently.
Yes. For most. Because trading is usually done with smaller portion, and returns often are invested (which in turn can increase margin for trading). Ideally they should propel each other.
This data / survey is fake and an eyewash to keep the real statistics from known to the public.
Before believing surveys and statistics, ask yourself first, When was the last time you seen a packaged water bottle from the unorganized sector on the shelves of any shop ?
The packaged water is an international lobby with large profits involved and they wont let anyone enter the market or take a share of the pie.
Heard a story from an official, who wanted to provide cheaper alternative for packaged drinking water to the public, he had to stop it, since being reprimanded from higher up the authority chain.
I see local packaged drinking water in towns and some places i visited all the time.
you have a point. but, in smaller towns we can find lot of unorganized places. all the famous bilseri, kinbey, kimbi etc. are most likely local unorganized guys.
regarding the exact % of organised to unorganized mix , you are right ; the above numbers may not reflect the true picture.
It is not unusual to see packaged drinking waters on shop shelves in tier-2 and 3 cities.
But not in places where the big sales happens !
These unorganized packaged drinking bottles, you see them where you don’t need them, but where you actually need them you don’t see them.
Apart from the discussed subject:
That red flag there is probably a warning sign from the mother earth to preserve the planet, but people have made a shrine out of it and started donating plastic bottles as a good karmic gesture.
