Godrej’s Aadhar to have 100 more retail outlets

Godrej Agrovet, the retailing unit of Godrej Group, plans to open 100 agri retail outlets under its Aadhar brand in four states in the next one year. “We will be launching another 100 retail stores in Punjab, Gujarat, Haryana and Maharashtra,” Godrej Agrovet general manager (human resource) Videep Singh said. Godrej already has 47 stores in these states and would like to have more retail outlets there since logistically it was easier and economical, he said. Around 15,000-18,000 people would be hired in the new stores, he said. These outlets will sell seeds, pesticides, fertilisers, grocery, apparel, footwear, home appliances, furniture and kitchen appliances among others.
