Exhibitors at the Ramayana retail chain have warned that proposed changes to profit‑sharing norms could hurt their earnings.
Exhibitors operating stalls within Ramayana’s stores have publicly voiced concerns over a planned revision of the profit‑sharing framework that governs their earnings. They argue that the proposed adjustments could reduce the share of sales revenue they receive, thereby affecting the viability of their businesses.
The group of exhibitors has urged Ramayana’s management to retain the existing profit‑sharing structure until a thorough impact assessment is conducted. They emphasized the need for transparent dialogue and warned that abrupt changes might lead to a withdrawal of vendors, disrupting the shopping experience for customers.
Ramayana, a prominent Indian department‑store chain, has not yet commented on the specific proposals. Industry observers note that profit‑sharing arrangements are common in large retail formats, and any alteration can have ripple effects across the supply chain.
Stakeholders are expected to discuss the matter in upcoming meetings, with the aim of reaching a mutually agreeable solution that safeguards both the retailer’s profitability and the exhibitors’ livelihoods.
