Executive summery
The purpose of this research was to get the inclination of the customers towards the Reliance
brand and to enhance the chance of better service by gathering the view points of the
customers towards present services. During the training program, all the interns were trained to
how they should approach the customers to get their reviews on the structured questionnaire
and what are the essential information which needed to be covered during the interaction with
the customers.
The internship program was of eight weeks in which I had covered five different format of stores
of reliance retails which includes :
First week – Reliance Fresh
Second Week – Reliance Trend
Third Week – Reliance fresh
Fourth Week – Reliance Jewels
Fifth Week – Reliance Footprint
Sixth Week – Reliance Jio
Seventh Week – Reliance Fresh
During these entire seven week I have collected the responses of the customers visiting the
store and with the help of the questionnaire, the actual footfall and the queries in the store were
brought to notice.
The physical forms for the response have a standard format, created by the Reliance and I was
informed to follow that during the entire internship process. The daily task routine during the
internship was :
✓ Collect the data from the customers on physical forms
✓ Online punching of the data
These are the two steps which needed to be followed every day.

After collecting the data, a proper analysis of all the aspects was done to check the credibility of
the data and the processes. The analysis includes every aspect which can be useful to check the
inclination and satisfaction of the customers towards the Reliance brand in different outlets. The
aspects covered in the analysis are:
1. Shoppers Profile:

c. How often they visit
d. Who all accompanied in shopping
2. Acquaintance with other Reliance stores:

4. Overall shopping experience :
