Kataria is the first Indian to hold this prestigious role and will be taking over Alexis Nasard, who has been leading the 126-year old company for almost five years now. A veteran in the consumer industry Kataria had joined Bata as its India CEO in 2017, but he comes with a stellar track record in the consumer industry. Before joining Bata, Kataria worked with Unilever, Yum Brands, and Vodafone. During his tenure as Bata India's CEO, Kataria has doubled its profits with a double-digit topline growth while also transforming the brand's image into something more contemporary. "I have been privileged to be part of Bata's success in India, and I look forward to building further on our proud, 120-year history as shoemakers to the world. While 2020 has presented unique challenges, the appeal of our brands and the passion of our people provide every reason for confidence regarding our prospects in the years ahead," Kataria said in a statement about his appointment. Kataria's big task during the pandemic — driving Bata's online presence Bata saw a new challenge during the global coronavirus lockdown as it had to set the foundation for a new, online retail wave. After having a presence in India for over 89 years, the company had already been ramping up its online presence through e-commerce. Now, it's even taking orders on WhatsApp. The gradual shift to online helped the footwear retail giant steady its revenue, even while many physical stores continued to stay shut during the July- September quarter. The company's losses too improved from ₹101.1 crore in the first quarter of FY21 to ₹44.4 crore in the second quarter. "We focused on scaling up our presence in online marketplaces with an expanded range, scaling our own channel bata.in and our new digital channels such as 'Bata ChatShop,' 'Bata Home Delivery' &amp; 'Bata Store-on-Wheels' mobile kiosk to reach out to a wider customer base," Kataria had said during the second-quarter results of the company.

Bata names Sandeep Kataria as its global CEO — the first Indian to lead the 126-year old footwear giant worldwide

New Delhi, Feb 6 () Leading footwear brand Bata India on Thursday reported a 14.75 per cent rise in its consolidated net profit to Rs 118.26 crore for the quarter ended December 2019 compared to Rs 103.05 crore in the year-ago period. Consolidated revenue from operations of the company stood at Rs 830.82 crore for the quarter under consideration against Rs 779.79 crore for the same period year ago, Bata India said in a filing to BSE. "Despite market headwinds and a pan-India cross-sectoral drop in consumer spending, Bata managed stable growth in Q3 2019-2020, improving its margins and EBIDTA," Bata India CEO Sandeep Kataria said. These results were due to company's continued focus on customer-centric portfolio including the new sneakers range, innovations in areas of comfort, design and materials, channel expansion in distribution business, modern trade and franchisee business, he added. "While new stores, renovations continued to elevate the store visual merchandising and consumer experience, we also focused on making operations more agile by investing in IT for the new age," Kataria said. Shares of Bata India closed at Rs 1,853.25 on BSE, down 0.99 per cent from the previous close. AKT MRMR

Its profits stood at ₹573 million, down from ₹1052 million in the same quarter the previous year. Its revenue fell xx% to ₹6368 million. However, the company’s shares saw a slight jump and were trading at ₹1283.60 on Tuesday morning. But since the beginning of the year, its shares have fallen by 26.4%. <div type="image" title="Bata India." msid="75995464" hostid="261"></div> Although consumer sentiment has been dismal since the beginning of February as people stayed home and avoided crowds and malls, these numbers account for only 5 days of lockdown when the shops were shut. In the month of April, all of its stores were shut and it was able to open its stores in May. However, the 89-year old company in India is finally giving in to the demands of e-commerce. Bata has been ramping up its e-commerce presence and is now also taking orders through WhatsApp. “Given the ongoing crisis, we are expanding our e-commerce footprint via ramping our presence in online marketplaces allowing delivery in over 1300 cities, rolling out home delivery across 900+ stores and giving customers the option to shop from homes via WhatsApp chat with our neighborhood stores,” said Sandeep Kataria, CEO, Bata India. But even after lockdown, consumers are going to be cautious about their spending.In lieu of a global recession, people aren’t going to loosen their purse strings. “After the control of the spread of the coronavirus and post the lock-down period, the spending as well as shopping patterns of the consumers are expected to change significantly. The consumers are likely to curtail their discretionary spending with reduced income in their hands as well as tendency to preserve cash,” said a report by CARE ratings. However, Bata is confident. “While the pandemic will have an impact on consumer behavior and demand, we believe brands such as Bata are strong trust marks and with the investment in our quality over the years and safety in stores to build confidence, we will gain share as consumers tend to avoid risk post the crisis,” said Kataria.

Bata India’s quarterly profit nearly halves– the 89-year old company has resorted to home delivery and wooing customers via WhatsApp

New Delhi, Nov 26 () Footwear maker Bata will continue its growth journey in India with the multi-retail channel approach along with e-commerce platform to reach out to as many customers as it can, said a top company official.
 The company, which has a retail network in 450 towns, is further expanding by adding new stores in smaller towns through franchise route.
 "Now we are using all three engines - our own stores, franchise partner store, which is a big drive for us in tier III &amp; IV, and multibrand outlets. On the top it would be our e-commerce channels, whether through bata.in or other marketplaces to get as many consumers as we can," Bata India CEO Sandeep Kataria told .
 The company last month said it will strengthen its presence by adding 500 stores in next five years, focusing mainly on small markets as it has identified tier II, III and IV cities where it has plans to broaden its sales network through the franchise model.
 "What has happened over time, that the brand image and the brand name was much bigger than our reach, as we were selling through our retail stores only in 450 towns," he said.
 "India is much bigger and the brand image is also bigger. So we decided to expand our reach to as many Indians and take advantage of our equities."
 According to Kataria, online channels are providing opportunities in multiple ways to reach consumers.
 "We can actually use the digital channels to increase the productivity of our stores and enhance the satisfaction to our consumers," said Kataria on the sidelines of an event organised by the Retailers Association of India.
 Besides, Bata is working hard to reconnect with the country's millennials.
 "We have a whole battery of brands in Bata as North Star, Bata Red Label, Marie Claire and Footin which talk to millenials. We do not have to mainly rely on Bata, the main brand," he said.
 "We are seeing the average age of the customers in Bata store going down. We have now more millennials than the past," he said.
 When asked whether Bata has any plans to introduce new brands from its global fold, he said the company is not very keen to do that.
 "There is a huge opportunity for us to play with the brands which we have here. So we are not very keen to bring a new brand," he said adding that the company has licence for manufacture and sale of several global brands as Hush Puppies, Naturalizer.
 Besides, the company has introduced outdoor brand shoes from Caterpillar in its top selected outlets this season. KRH KRH ANU
