Avenue Supermarts Limited, d/b/a DMart, is an Indian retail corporation that operates a chain of supermarkets and hypermarkets. The company was founded by Radhakishan Damani and is based in Mumbai. As of March 2024, DMart has 365 stores across 12 states and union territories in India. [1] [2]
In 2024, the company had a total of 13,971 permanent employees and 59,961 employees hired on contractual basis. [1]
Incorporated in 2000 by Radhakishan Damani, DMart opened its first store in Powai, Mumbai, in 2002. [3] Until 2010, the company pursued a "slow expansion" strategy, growing to 29 stores across Maharashtra and Gujarat. Unlike other Indian supermarket chains which typically leased 4,000 sq ft properties, DMart operated much larger stores, ranging up to 30,000 sq ft, most of which it owned. [4] [5]
In 2013, DMart reported having 65 stores across Maharashtra and Gujarat, along with one store each in Hyderabad and Bangalore as it began expanding to other states. At the time, DMart became the third largest retail company by revenue, after Reliance Retail and Future Group. [6]
In October 2016, DMart had 112 stores, having expanded to Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. [7] [8] In December 2016, the company started its e-commerce venture called DMart Ready, allowing users to order groceries and household products online. [9] [10]
The company launched its initial public offering (IPO) in March 2017 and got listed on the National Stock Exchange and Bombay Stock Exchange. On its listing date 22 March 2017, it became the 65th most valuable Indian firm. [11] By 2018, it entered Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, Punjab, Delhi NCR and Daman. [12]
In 2022, DMart surpassed 300 stores, with three-fourths of them concentrated in its cluster-states of Maharashtra, Gujarat, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. [13] [12]
