Hello everyone. FDI ie. Foreign direct investment is investing in a country by the companies of foreign country. In my opinion, FDI in retail sector is beneficial. As it increases the GDP of our country, give more employment opportunities to people of the country, make the market more competitive so the companies of our country also make its performance better, give consumers more choices from all over the world at competitive prices, raise the standard of living of people.

Yes, it will boost the growth of Indian economy however it will impact the retail sector in a negative way as it will impact the small retailers and their small shops. People will prefer the retail stores and not the small shops available in the market. The FDI in retail sector will bring unemployment situations in our country as it will mostly effect the small retailers and their small shops they will loose their customers because customers will prefer the retail outlets.

It gives a positive effect on multinational companies in India. They can expand their business and also employment opportunities will increase because of it. Direct foreign capital increase the dollar flow in India which may cause development.

But on the other side, it gives a negative effect on small and medium businesses. They can't stand up against multinational companies. As in India, most of the people belong to small and medium businesses they will suffer a lot.

Hii friends,

In my opinion, if FDI provides jobs for only Indians, in other words, if all works are done in FDI by Indians, then FDI in retail sector is good for India. Because in this time India is suffering from unemployment. I think FDI brings a lot of job & it creates an environment of cheap & quality products market. Inflation will be also controller & in the large amount Foreign currency will also come in India, which increases our economic growth.

Hello everyone.

Myself Sohan Kumar. Our group disscusion topic is FDI.

In my opinion, yes it very benefits for a country like India where the majority of the people has come under the middle class and poor classes. FDI help in bringing the price of object low and it also helps in an increasing job opportunity for the people. It will increase the competition so that we can get things in a low amount. It also helps in increasing the economy of the country.

Yes, FDI in Retail Sector good for India. FDI is necessary for Indian economy growth. It will help to generate revenue taxes as well. Huge competition in market will lessen price of products so the customers will get good products in cheaper price.

On the other hand Mom and Pop stores will also face challanges which are not good for those who are unable to afford to visit malls, adding to that who often buys products on credit from mom and pop stores.

Hi friends,

I think FDI is good for India in retail sector because through FDI we get the quality products because we all know foreign products have quality. The Eg.of foreign companies in India are Levi's, Pepe jeans, Samsung, Nike, Addidas, Sony etc. All these companies have quality and standard. Through FDI Indian people can buy foreign products and Indian economy will also raise and employment will increase. India will get fame with FDI.

THANKS!

Every Coin has two faces just like in FDI too.

Good faces:

1. Give opportunities to young blood to work with them and learn new technologies.
2. Better quality product.
3. Economic growth.
4. Graph of employment is increasing.
5. Competition increases.
6. Better living condition.

Bad faces:

1. Indian investor hesitates to compete with them.
2. Local brands could not breathe in freely.
3. An entrepreneur could not develop their market.

Thank you.

FDI in Indian retail sector is good because if country has to develop then it is must to invest in outsider and allow outsiders to invest in our country. With this step, the economy of India will grow. This is an illusion that if outsiders setup their company in India then people of India will be unemployed, but its not true as this step will give lots of opportunity to the people. When they setup the company, they will also need people to work.

My dear friends. According to my view, FDI in retail sector will definitely improves the Indian economy but is bane for our Indian retail sector businessmen. If we look into retail market in India all are middle class people only. Their retail business will be effected. So our growth should not effect the Indian retailers. Hence some specific measures has to be taken before implementing. Otherwise middle class people will be affected. Thank you.
