It all happened in India
 
Kishore Biyani
Managing Director
Pantaloon Retail (India) Ltd.
 
Kishore Biyani is the Managing Director of Pantaloon Retail (India) Limited and the Group Chief Executive Officer of Future Group. He has led Pantaloon Retail's emergence as the India's leading retailer operating multiple retail formats that now cater to almost the consumption basket of a large section of Indian consumers.
 
Kishore Biyani led the company's foray into organised retail with the opening up of the Pantaloons family store in 1997. This was followed in 2001 with the launch of Big Bazaar, a uniquely Indian hypermarket format that democratized shopping in India. It blends the look, touch and feel of Indian bazaars with aspects of modern retail like choice, convenience and quality. This was followed by a number of other formats including Food Bazaar, Central and Home Town. The year, 2006 marked the evolution of Future Group, that brought together the multiple initiatives taken by group companies in the areas of Retail, Brands, Space, Capital, Logistics and Media.
 
Kishore Biyani advocates 'Indianness' as the core value driving the group. The group's corporate credo is 'Rewrite Rules, Retain Values.'
 
Kishore Biyani was awarded the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2006 in the Services Sector and the Lakshmipat Singhania - IIM Lucknow Young Business Leader Award by Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh in 2006. He was also awarded the CNBC First Generation Entrepreneur of the Year 2006.
 
Kishore Biyani was born in August, 1961 and is married to Sangita and they have two daughters. He recently authored a book, 'It Happened In India' that captures his entrepreneurial journey and the growth of modern retailing in India.
