Walmart India President & Chief Executive Officer Krish Iyer said the company will be opening 10 cash-and-carry stores in the Indian state of Karnataka.
Speaking at a session on promoting women entrepreneurship at Invest Karnataka 2016, he said, "We have also committed for women entrepreneurship development programme to be rolled out in the state."
Stating that Walmart was currently running this programme on two fronts – demand side and supply side, Iyer said demand side included developing women entrepreneurs who can open kirana stores or small hotels, restaurants and dhabas to whom they will supply at low costs.
