Retail merry-go-round

There's been lots of talk on international tie up in the retail sector. Tatas and Tesco, Bombay Dyeing and Carrefour.....and many more. It is clear that all domestic retailers are talking to all international retailers, where ever they strike a deal doesn't really matter, the names are all big and to the Indian customer, one doesn't differ from the other. Wal-Mart was the only large international retailer that has it's own identity amongst consumers and they have already tied up with Bharti Enterprises.
