15. About The Bombay Store
In the early 1900s while India was still under the British rule, one of the
strongest manifestations of mass awakening was the desire to patronize all
that was swadeshi (Made in India). Great Indian patriots and businessman
like Lokmanya Tilak and Sir Ratanji Jamshedji Tata amongst others
conceived Bombay Swadeshi Co-Op Stores Co. Ltd, which came into
existence on 17th December 1906. It became the first retail organization
to be listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange.
As the store now caters to an audience with a contemporary mindset, the
brand was therefore rechristened in December 1995 as The Bombay
Store. The Bombay Store currently operates out of 12 outlets.
