Shortlisted | The Loot | 2004
Jay Gupta | Mumbai | Retail/ Consumer-based
Nominated on Jul 11 2008 7:14PM | by NEN
The Loot - Snapshot
Buy branded goodies at half the cost
Q. Why did you start this business? What was the difference that your startup set out to make in your customer?s life/ business?
A.

I started business in 1996 when I stumbled upon an article in a magazine which selected - Chain of Hotels, Banks and Retail as ever-growing profitable business. I opted for Retail, initially to get into the garment and footwear business by opening franchisee stores for brands like Color Plus, Adidas, Nike, Weekender, Provogue, Quickies Coffee Shop etc. but soon realized that I was not able to give the best to the customers. The customer wanted to buy brands at an affordable price, to fulfill this requirement of the customer was mandatory. After a lot of pondering I got into the idea of giving the best brands to the customers, mostly youth and young professionals, at the best prices under one roof. The Loot can thus be considered a...” > Read more..

Q. What customer pain area has your startup solved? What were your customers doing to solve the problem before you launched your product/ service?
A.
“Initially even though we received a good number of footfalls but the conversions were very low. The idea of The Loot stemmed from looking at customers who aspired for branded goods but could not afford them. We then came up with the idea of opening Factory outlets. The conversions drastically increased but the customer was still unhappy - with the poor after sales service, no exchange, shabby shopping conditions etc. My main aim was customer satisfaction and to provide a delightful shopping experience to them and with this thought The Loot was born! Our format is based on demand of branded goods at affordable prices and we have tried to address the consumer needs and wants.”
Q. What are your customers doing now with your product/ service? How much better/ faster/ cheaper is their customer experience?
A.
“I can confidently say that my customers are very happy shopping at The Loot. As I always say it's the second bite on the cherry pie- brands, huge discounts, good shopping experience all under one roof- Minimum 25% off; upto 60% off; 365 days discount; Guaranteed Price, Guaranteed Product; No fakes, No seconds.”
Q. What change have you made in the industry/ sector you are operating in with your product/ service?
A.

I think we have revolutionized the value retailing segment as we were the pioneers. There is still a huge potential in this category and we are definitely leveraging on it.

We have changed shopping habits of people and made big brands affordable to college students.

The Loot was the nominated one amongst series of 12 startups - "Small Ideas Big Changes" by The Hindustan Times - "For hordes of college students and youngsters who want to look chic but don't want to or can't afford to pay hefty sums to buy branded clothes- The Loot is godsend. It is the only multi-branded store that is always on Sale all throughout the year with a minimum 25% off which goes upto 60% off on national and international brands."

Q. What have you enabled (indirect impact - ancillary effect on the world)?
A.
“The entire retail and garment industry has gone through quite a metamorphosis which affects many other ancillary industries and also our customers. We have developed a whole new market for surplus goods to be sold on a very good and superior platform unlike factory outlets. The brand image is maintained and developed. Many novel concepts have evolved for e.g. brands with surplus fabrics produce merchandise especially for The Loot and in the bargain we contribute to the bottom lines of many brands. The Loot has organized the entire disorganized surplus market.”
