Heritage Retailers of Bombay is the first and the only book on retail stores in the world. Combining accounts of perseverance, innovation, integrity, hard work and passion, these stories reflect the overlooked lives of retailers and entrepreneurs as a rustic Bombay transitioned to present-day lively Mumbai. “As I walked through the busy roads and narrow lanes of Mumbai, the history of our city through the experiences of these retailers suddenly came alive... …Retail entrepreneurs who came to Bombay had fire in their belly, and the determination to work hard and make their lives a success. As I heard their stories, some common themes emerged, showing how these extraordinary young entrepreneurs had built successful and enduring businesses.” Through the ages and from all over the world, heroes of retail have set up shops in areas where people choose to live and work. There are 41 stories in the 2nd edition of the book and 31 of them are over 100 years old!

Heritage Retailers of Calcutta

By: Ashish J. Sanyal

The story of retail is the story of a city. Retailers follow demand, as did the young entrepreneurs who set up their shops around Calcutta’s centers of power and commerce in the 19th and early 20th century. The 36 shops whose stories are presented in this book are a testament to survival. They have persisted through the British colonial period, post independence, liberalisation of the 90’s and now the growing emergence of e-retail. Shutting shop has never been an option for these family businesses. As one of the owners said “You do not break what you did not make,” an honorable sentiment which may well explain their longevity. This legacy will be helpful to the 2nd and 3rd generation family members facing stiff competition from modern day malls and e-retail. But I have confidence they will stay the course by adapting and changing to new circumstances as their forefathers did to build great businesses.
