Before joining Dmart, Noronha was working with fast-moving consumer goods giant Hindustan Unilever. Avenue Supermarts founder Radhakishnan Damani hired him in 2004 as a head of business. He took over as a CEO in 2007.

About Dmart

DMart continues to offer the highest discount across most categories, in turn gaining loyalty, a key factor for driving footfall.

The firm targets lower-middle, middle, and aspiring upper-middle-income consumers for whom value for money plays an important role.

The firm faces the risk of greater competition from JioMart, Flipkart and Amazon, but analysts believe the firm is well placed in the domestic retail industry given its strong execution capabilities, disciplined low prices and low costs strategy, lower cost of operation, and a streamlined distribution network, which help DMart to penetrate new markets.
