How do you plan to expand in India and which format will you bring in?
Lasfargues: We have 14,000 stores, spread across 40 countries, giving a turnover of 95 billion euros. We have a brick-and-mortar format and an online one. For the Indian market, we plan to go for small formats - which is 8,000 square feet for supermarkets and 30,000 square feet for hypermarkets, which would be a kind of compact hypermarket. At the same time, there is a format for gourmet for some region in Delhi and in future in Mumbai or Bengaluru. We will focus on the three formats for India - supermarkets, gourmet, and hyper - but not cash and carry. A key point for the first launch -- in Delhi-NCR - will be the location and also the team we are building. We will open the first store in summer next year.
What are your expansion plans under the first cluster?
