Current Scenario

Kirana and Local Stores don’t currently have the visibility of big branded stores, malls, and shopping complexes1

Consumers visiting local shops and vendors are skeptical about the quality of goods + services they are purchasing

Current Scenario

2

One way this problem can be solved is to bridge the consumer and the small local retailer via more meaningful interactions

Thoughts

1

Having a listing, explanation and awareness guide on where local stores/shops are, what they offer, and the types of goods, products they stock all help in achieving greater visibility for the local enterprise

Thoughts

2
