Riding high on the retail boom in India, Bharti Retail on Wednesday opened its first store in Ludhiana.

Meanwhile, the Bharti-WalMart joint venture is likely to kick off its cash and carry (wholesale) business in the third quarter of this year.

Under this, the two would sell products only to other retailers and not directly to the consumers as this is not allowed under the existing guidelines.

In its Ludhiana store, Bharti has employed people from the local communities and employees at the outlet have been provided intensive and structured training by Bharti Academy of Retail, which has been set up by Bharti Retail. The academy has trained about 1,800 people so far.
