The Big Bazaar Story - Kishore Biyani On Building A Retail Empire 

Mr. Biyani. You have not only destroyed what you had built, but in this process, you have destroyed the livelihood of thousands of MSME vendors like me, who trusted you and supplied goods to your companies such as FLFL, FEL, FRL etc. You are smiling because you may not settle our dues, but we, the MSME vendors are bleeding because we are answerable to our banks, our suppliers, our landlords, etc.

The comment section is really informative and critical. In today's time where most businessmen who have made it big are hero worshipped in India, people questioning a businessman on ethics and integrity is a welcome change.

Will be remembered as a man who built an empire to bring down a whole civilization. A modern day Pied Piper. Built an empire, became too greedy, eventually couldn't manage the bandwagon, started riding high with the wrong people, going head on against the courts,and was expectedly left stranded by the people who chose to ride high with, eventually taking down his whole ship with all on board. A classic case study of what NOT to do, and you Nikhil, ,suprise to find out that you do not do relevant background checks before interviewing iCONS.

Nikhil This pod cast of Kishore Bayani is incomplete . Does not talk about how latter journey where he has destroyed and duped his vendors by NOT a paying them , ruining severely homes and lives Proudly talks about learning management skills from Tirupati BUT Obviously not learnt dharma and honesty to pay his dues His example should be taught on how NOT to be like him

How are we glorifying such people? Obviously the interviewers have not done their homework. Else this kind of fawning over someone who has duped so many people. Shameful.

Mr. Biyani can teach people on how not to do the business. Non ethical practices of payment delays and ultimately destroyed many small business by defaulting and not making their payments is his USP

Kamalji, I had a lot of respect for you and did not expect you to be with Mr. Kishorji who duped thousands of people for crores of rupees and bought hundreds of families on the road . Amazing how people will do anything for publicity and be with anyone. Kamalji you are a well respected person ……. Why this gimmick?????

Mr Kishore biyani pay our dues .

Dear sir Have guys and courtesy to meet you vendor and pay them as you can not even imagine how we all r suffering by keeping trust on you ! Baat badi Sarahan chote !

The founders of companies like zerodha and meesho are doing stunts and laughing and joking with kishoreji who has ruined and lives of thousands of families and small apparel business who trusted him and have mortgaged thier houses to supply him goods. Intentionally they have been brought on the streets as we are easy baits with no law to protect us. Karma will get back to kishoreji and all people supporting him. Hope zerodha and meesho don’t have intentions like the third partner they are cracking jokes with in the video

Nikhil Why you have not asked Kishore Biyani reasoning of cheating thousands of Garment vendors who has supplied goods to him.? Even Biyani has taken goods after they are bankrupt and not returned the goods and money and not bothered to meet Vendors . This is very sad part of Biyani . Vendors are not alone they are representing many suppliers / workers families . Biyani should come forward and apologise to vendors and all related parties and explained situation . Nikhil, either you are not aware what Biyani has done or you have taken very lightly . Hope to get reply at least from Nikhil for not asking to Biyani .

This guy is a modern era thief , he owes 4 cr to me and more than 20000 cr of other vendors and employees, how can he even smile ? I wish him life long suffering .

Mr Biyani It took lots of pain and we shade look of sweat and blood to earn in business and u ruined everything with a systematic plan, we respected u bcz of ur work style but we never knew u wld run like this , u had left all of us in deep financial well , u took all of hard work and left us in deep shit, As we all know u and ur family are having great fun , since India company act has given u all ways to loot us, But its not just the end boss. Someday u have to repay and in wat ever ways it may be , u have to . Worst thing is u dnt stand with us ,if u wld have been , all of us wld have supported u .

It’s unfortunate that system protects these kind of people. How can you sleep at night Mr Kishore when you have left all of us with sleepless nights. Don’t you have any ethics at all ?? Shame

This is a man who lacks any business ethics and morals. He built a business ruthlessly, using his suppliers money (with payment cycles ranging from from 90 days to a year). And then had no qualms destroying those suppliers when his businesses failed. Hundreds of MSME suppliers and their families have been destroyed and brought to their knees with the failure of his retail businesses. This podcast would have been better off had it been about forcing him to answer to these people he destroyed. Has he even apologised to them. He is a failed businessman. Is anyone even interested in his story?

Mr.Kishore you are laughing where as vendors like me are weeping. You have thrown out many vendors from garment field and their future is pitch dark. But you never repented for that.

Respected Kishorji. As you are aware All the Future Group supplier vendore were suppliers associated or joined lately were supplying goods as per your buying team requirements fearlessly because all had faith that their money will be paid though your company term were 90 days and By Hundi on 4.25% discount for 30days. Vendors waited 3year now only believing you Sir. But Sir on A Hard note you could have easily bailed out you suppliers Vendor before your self any anybody. But the vendors have been ruined as have lost their hard earned money and due that many connected with these vendor has also lost jobs and salaries and payments.

You cheated all garments vendors and enjoy your life but garments vendors you killed all people’s you must pay all ours due

Mr Kamath, how can u glorify him? Do u know how many families he has destroyed? Do u know how much he owes to suppliers? He is a super cheater. Washed his hands from his business and so many suppliers are stuck. He should be behind bars.

Nikhil Interviewing such a fraud cheating all garment manufacturers who's life become hell, comes on the road and now started giving gnan like this. 😢😢😢😢😢

Mr kamath A apology require from you After all the continued comments.. You take interview of ours to understand how the empire build by cheater biyani So it soon to save yourself

Kishoreji You made all garment suppliers false promises knowingly. I do not think you have any regrets

You made all garment manufacturers false promises knowingly , I don't think you have any regrets.

Such people should not be interviewed for the roses part casting them in a good light and leaving the sordid deeds untouched and undisclosed

MR NATWARLAL OF GARMENT INDUSTRY

I am Dr Shankar. Call a bunch of graduating students with diverse Academic grades or GPA to understand their knowledge regarding Financial planning and awareness. The graduating students should represent diverse fields like medical, dental, health sciences, B tech, arts and sciences etc. This gives the PERSPECTIVE of young students who are about to get employed regarding Financial planning and how they can contribute for Indian economy and take care of their Finances as well Mr Kamath. I strongly feel that we need to break out the mindset of young ones to develop a holistic approach towards the young ones in our society.

Please bring kailash nadh and his philosophy nitin kàmth always admires him please 🥺🥺 please will love to hear him

Mr kishore biyani u need to repay vendors and clear ur responsibilities and not run away -no use of such interviews-

Everyone is a gangster until 'So, I am Kishore Biyani'

This Guy should be in Jail he is solely responsible for destroying business across India... Looted money of MSME and Bank. After doing so much damage to the lively hood of his Vendors and Employee he is just relaxing and our Govt is just a sitting duck and doing nothing to protect the livelihood of Lakhs of people suffered due to his flaws. Making such an interview is a shame to this media .

He is a fraud....he is a thief.....playing with poor people's lives by taking advantage of system loopholes.....they should be jailed

Arre mere card ka paisa vapis kro.... ye bnda paise le k bhag gya

Dear Nitin Kamath.....I never knew you glorified such financial fraudsters. You could have done some homework on Mr.Biyani before posting this video. He has looted small garment manufacturers crores of rupees and driven many to bankruptcy and suicide. Shame on you to interview such a modern day fraudster and thief. Whom do you plan to interview and glorify next....Vijay Mallaya ? Nirav Modi ? Medul Choksi ?

Nikhil & his Robin are the most uneducated host who have done this interview with research . And yes Mr Biyani what you learnt from Tirupati is how to make vendors stand in line for eternity to come praying for their hard earned dues. Sick sick sick

Big cheater . How can you still smile and show modesty after ruining lives of thousands of vendors .. How can someone even think about taking interview of such cheaters . Pay us first and then give all such philosophical interviews..

Sab ka Paisa khagaya usko ye sab q nai puch rahe Ap ko sawal kar rahe hai sirf uska umpire kaisa khada Kiya ussai ab ye puchna jaruri hai logo ka Paisa q nai dera agar ye such cha hota tho apni property Mai sai vendor ka Paisa jarur Chuka ta thaa Pls now do again one video of interview of propose dues which he not pay vendor payment Payment na denai mai kitnai barbad hogaye vo tho apna business phir sai chalu kar Diya style union agar apko jyaada interest hai interview lainai mai tho ye sab sawal karo pata chale kya javab deta hai

Kishorji what guts to give such an interview. You are laughing loud whereas people like me has lost their homes, money, respect in business circle everything and i see no remorse on your face inspite of all this. Shameful and very hurtful.

Kishorji we had great respect for you !! But you yourself said you created and destroyed it but sadly in the process of destruction you have inflicted huge blow to thousands of your vendors !! Really very sad !! You were an atheist and now you have become philosophical after destruction of livelihood of lot of people!!😡

What about the poor vendors who were the part of Big Bazaarr and you cheated them with Reliance. What was their Flaw.... That they trusted you?

Mers b paisa leke bhag gaya..... Are bhai paisa la

dear mr biyani, have some shame and try and repay the money you owe to us. come and see what you have done to small businesses such as mine. i mean how can you sleep at nights knowing you and your brother have ruined the garment manufacturing sector for years to come. each vendor has raised money by mortgaging personal assets or by taking out some sort of loans. and on top of it, you and your brother are selling our goods stuck in your warehouses to liquidators at 113 rs per pc. you could have at least returned the goods so we could have generated some cash from it. i am helpless right now and hope some higher power will pay you back with interest.

Soulless person...there is no use of what he has done..at the end he duped the thousands of people money..no use to ask what he has done..he will be no role model for others..selfish person...

Nagesh of shoppers is the real father of retail ….

Rakesh Biyani is the biggest black mark in the Indian Industry. He has to owe crores of rupees to the suppliers and left all of them in deep trouble. He himself calls Black Sheep of his family. No wonder. He is.

Nikhil this is one worst interviews you have taken of a scammer, KB a sweet talker but a cheating mind behind it. I am wondering how he is smiling and giving the interview where he has duped Hundreds of vendors. You should also have asked him about how he had destroyed lives of thousands of people. He has safeguarded himself while vendors like us still suffering. I hope he reads all the messages. There’s Should be a Movie on Him and family “BIG Thugs of Future”

If I had to choose between restraunt and multiplex I would choose neither. Feel there are better companies out in the market to look at which are vehemently mispriced. I do want a good consumer brand in my portfolio much like Buffets roaring success with sees candies, borsheims, dairy queen and others but cannot find a name which I like and which is mispriced. The names I like in the Indian space is titan, dmart, lux (dnt like the family lead structure though). Starbucks as a brand fascinates me but it is too small a part of tata consumer to illicit any buy side action on my part.

Arre Kishore… thodi toh sharam kar….. logon ko barabar karke interview de rahan hain. Tujhe toh aisa interview dena chaiye ki KAISE LOGON KO RASTE PE LANA HAIN….. ya kiska bharosa tha usse kaise todna hain

I haven't a proper word for this Fraud person Kishore Biyani . How can a person be so Shameless giving Interview and not taking a 15 mins for his Vendors suffering badly and a Paralysed life bcos of Non - Payments. .

The saravana stores that sells idli is a totally different entitiy..from the retailing saravana stores

Cheat scamster Biyani you ran away with public money via debt. You gave up store leases to reliance even before entering a deal. Hope every venture of yours fails miserably.

Because Mr. Kishore Biyani was the black sheep in the family that he turned out to be so different in the marwadi family he was born in

He is a cheater... Still not paid vendors payment who all has supplied him garments...

Why they are interviewing him ? And where is Twitter account .. he has closed it .. hiding from people for the money he has stolen ..

Shame on you Kishore Biyani - No ethics , No Moral, Ridiculous person- Honking on his achievements- how to cheat vendors and still roam around free without any grudges. And it’s a learning lesson for you- should Introspect and see so many factories had been shut and lot many has lost their house because of mortgages….

Shameless person Almighty will give it back to you in worst possible way Mr Biyani you have taken curse of thousands of people like me,rest assured you will meet your fate very soon

genius boss

How people will maturity amount of fixed deposits taken from FEL

Kishoreji u have ruined the life of small vendors who took u up .. aap ka kabhi bhala na hoga

He is big chor

What will happen to fretail n fconsumer stocks?

Our settlement pending many employees settlement are pending kindly clear first

Please have kunal shah i think it would be a really interesting conversation.

The interviewer here strives hard to look nonchallant and smarter than the subject

Fraud 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

All those whose money has been defaulted by Bhavani should form a group as then only the money can be get from him..

invite Kunal Shah - CRED. He is one of the smartest Indian entrepreneurs. The conversation would be interesting

Nithin why are you hosting Kishore, do you think he is a good business man to bring to public, ask whoever has associated with him as supplier or work for him. He played with so many people life. After hearing story from some of the people i don't even have single respect for him. He should go back give compansation to people who has given life and time for his brand.

He is a thief, a cheater, a fraud who looted 1000's of his vendors hard earned money and started other business. He should be put behind bars.

This guy 'Nikhil' is just awesome.....

Hazaaron logo ka paisa khaake neend aana mushkil hai aur yeh interview de raha hai....waah re waah..ghar/factory/dukaan sab bik gaya logo ka aur yeh matargasti kar raha hai..bhagwaan aisa hi chor banaye..malya/modi kya bure hain..woh toh bechare dev manus hai

He was a failure when he started and he is still a failure.

He has looted our money in the name of profit club card...Please support the common people who he has cheated during the final days of closure of BiG Bazaar

Well just feel sad when I heard that he's going to All ? If it's true ? I am sad

How you come up with idea to wear black ts ?

he is the biggest culprit , who have ruined our lifes & enjoying his luxury life with our money without any gulit

Surprised to see Nikhil is taking his interview .. Hope you don’t follow him Nikhil as you should know how he cheated on crores of rupees.. you won’t find a way to reach to him.. no one replies .. no one pick the phone..
