New Delhi:Â Continuing with its goal to provide an outstanding retail experience to the people in tier-2, 3 & 4 cities, 1-IndiaFamilyMart, a leading value retail chain owned by Nysaa Retail Private Limited has recently roped in retail industry veteran Venugopal Konchada as Chief Operational Officer. The hiring is in line with the company’s plans for a rapid expansion where Venugopal will be overseeing the entire operational procedures in terms of retail, in-store opening, visual merchandising, business development and marketing.
An ex-management student from IIPM, a master’s graduate in Exports Management from IMM and an MA holder in Political Science, Venugopal Konchada brings nearly 32 years of experience in the Indian retail space since 1987.

Since its inception in 2012, 1-India Family Mart has managed to maintain a healthy growth rate and profitability on the financial books even as a bootstrapped enterprise. The firm eventually raised two rounds of external debt funding worth US$ 7 million equity and INR 20 crores debt , respectively in 2018 and 2019 to leverage the amount for expanding to newer geographies. It has been planning to add up 40 stores in the current year and 50 stores by 2020.
