What Avenue Supermarts does

Operates DMart, India's most profitable large-format value grocery and general merchandise retail chain, known for an owned-store, low-cost model.

Sells staples and general goods at everyday low prices, aiming for high sales per square foot from stores it owns rather than rents, and expands in clusters around distribution centers. Founder Radhakishan Damani and family control the company. DMart Ready, its delivery service, is a newer offshoot.

In one line: India's Costco/Walmart hybrid at the value end.
