Power in malls

I want to share a few facts.

With the increasing number of retail outlets and malls in the country, the need of power to keep these mega shops, malls and multiplexes glowing throughout the day and night, is also growing.

With the power shortage that India faces in many of its states, it has also become important for retailers to monitor and control the consumption of power. Another important aspect is the billing of power consumption to all consumers in a mall.

WinEMS is a power monitoring and billing system which allows the monitoring of power consumption in a retail facility and also provides automatic monthly bill generation for the individual commercial shops and establishments. With bill generation, it also offers features including regular reminders over SMS and ability to automatically disconnect supply for defaulters. Power consumption monitoring, control and billing will become a significant need for the retailers in the years to come. Many retailers including More. From the Aditya Birla Group, Inorbit Mall from the Rahejas are going for such systems.

Teach them a lesson

I have read some of your articles on retail industry and feel that you are the correct person to take up this issue up.

I had supplied puja kits on the occasion of diwali last year to Ebony Retail. But these big players haven no shame in gobbling up money of honest suppliers. I have not received payment of my kits to the tune of Rs 12,000 inspite of calling and emailing them for more than 100 times.

It is not just Rs 12,000, but the ill feeling of being cheated when they have already sold your kits. Just would like to know if you can take up this issue so as to teach them a lesson.

I am an MBA from Symbiosis, Pune and have introduced the concept of Pooja Kits.

Thanks and Regards,
