 Big Bazaar is a chain of shopping malls in India currently with 31 outlets, owned by the Pantaloon Group. It works on same the economy model as Wal-Mart and has had considerable success in many Indian cities and small towns. The idea was pioneered by entrepreneur Kishore Biyani, the head of Pantaloon Retail India Ltd.

 Big Bazaar, the local version of Wal-Mart, is the modern Indian family's favorite store. It stocks everything from peanuts and avocados to mops and crockery. The ringing of the registers is constant. The retail revolution has finally hit India, after decades of being rebuffed by its traditional mom-and-pop neighborhood stores. Biyani and his ilk who are profiting from the rapid growth of the mall-hopping Indian consuming class -- 105 million strong and swelling 10% a year.

 Retail stores and malls like Big Bazaar are expected to be 9% of the market by 2010, with sales of $23 billion, up from $6.4 billion last year. There's plenty of room to grow. According to consultants KSA Technopak India, 3% of India's $180 billion retail business is based in shopping centers and big stores, vs. 20% in China and 80% in the U.S. The rest is fragmented, with 12 million tiny shops catering to the needs of 1 billion Indians. Yet 60% of India is under the age of 30, and young India has an affinity for modern shopping. The country boasts 26 malls like Phoenix Mills, which will grow to 60 by December; the country's seven big retailers have 300 new stores under construction.

Big Bazaar Today. The son of a family of Bombay-based textile traders, Biyani, 43, started with one store in Calcutta in 1997. Today he owns 52 stores in 19 cities with revenues projected at $250 million for the year ending in June -- up 90% over last year. In 2001, Biyani opened the first Big Bazaar in Mumbai and followed with two more in the space of 22 days. That year, Pantaloon's average stock price was 17.78 rupees, less than one- hundredth of the price on April 3. The 44 percent holding of Biyani and his family is now worth US$529 million.

 Biyani now sells every variety of goods under three brands. By December, Biyani's stores will occupy 3 million square feet of retail space. Pantaloons' stock price has zoomed from $5 a year ago to $17 today. Skeptical analysts worry that Biyani is expanding too fast.
