One store delivers your brand. The next one doesn’t. We find why — the churn, the inconsistency, and the quality function that can’t see the floor.
Start With the Leak Scan — ₹25,000–₹40,000 | $400–$600Why this industry leaks the way it does.
Retail runs at the edge of its people: seasonal churn, festival burnout, the shrinkage nobody reports, and the store-by-store inconsistency that your NPS averages away. The head office sees the numbers; the customer sees whichever floor they walked into.
EWR’s retail research line — covering chains, e-commerce, D2C, and omnichannel operations — is a private, named pattern library built over three years. We test your operation against what the research has already documented happens to retail workforces and customer journeys under margin pressure. Findings are yours; the library stays ours.

One finding from the reports, so you can see the artifact before you order it.
From the attrition analysis: the churn engine became the sector's standing condition. At 5,000-plus dark stores and 15 to 30 per cent monthly entry-level attrition, the hiring treadmill of roughly 190,000 to 300,000 annual hires stopped being an expansion cost and became the format's metabolic rate. The report names the pattern the Gig Drain and reconstructs it in seven stages, each dated and sourced. The counter-pattern is printed beside it: what the operators that held their floor actually did. The finding closes on the line the format cannot argue with: the sector's entire quality variance is chained to its newest workers.
