I still feel kirana stores can work , as much as quick commerce stores tries to sell for less and discounts , the fees we gotta pay at the end are absurd at times , it's better to just visit a store and buy lol.
Kiran store have shut shop due to GST. Many ran on a model of paying no tax. But with GST they are forced to get into the tax regime. Making it unprofitable for them to survive.
After a few years, quick commerce companies will sell Maggie at 16 rupees, and people will pay because they will have less choice.
Bro this video is completely off. Blinkit is not selling anything cheap and as buyers we know it. We’re overpaying everytime but for convenience thats it. I dont want to walk in the heat, dust even 10 mins when I can get something in the same time at 30 rs more…
The idea of Large convenience stores like wallmart and target have a great scope in india. These stores can have a revolutionary positive impact. You can get everything you want at one place
Kirana shops lend groceries and let people pay back monthly but not even a single quick commerce store on earth who can lend groceries on a monthly basis. Nobody appreciates that
Walmart forced local store owners to close down. So there is natural evolution towards consolidation
Was there a need for online cab booking apps? Definitely, yes. Offline cab drivers were exploiting foreigners and people traveling from other states, and the lack of live location tracking made it feel less safe and often more expensive for the customer. The same situation applies to online quick commerce. Many offline retailers exhibit arrogance and rude behavior. Therefore, customers prefer to avoid all the hassle and interaction, saving travel time and money by getting items delivered directly to their homes, often with decent discounts. There will always be a replacement of jobs and businesses when people fail to adapt to market changes and evolving consumer behavior!
I feel, comparison should be made based on previous years as well, like how many stores were shut down in 23’, 22’ and 19’, 18’ (didnt considering the Covid wave) and then their can be apples to apples comparison
Its good for kirana stores… Bcoz after sometime Blinkit Zepto instamart itself would be killed.. I buy from them only when huge discount is available otherwise why i would ditch my kirana stores who serves me during emergency
Benefits of kirana store 1. eco friendly 2. heath friendly
Corporate is burning billions to change our habit to only online They dont know indians r frugal, the moment they increase prices, indians will switch back to kirana stores If they think kirana wont exist by then, if need be it will crop up again overnight😂😂😂
All points agreed but we need to keep in mind firstly if the customer is getting the same product at cheaper price from anywhere the customer will obviously choose the cheapest... Secondly the audacity of the kirana shopkeepers is also a major reason for people switching to E-Commerce websites
They used to also never pay taxes by not billing. Everything was done in cash. Serves them right
Not dollars, rupees bro😂
Blinkit or quick commerce do not sell on discount. They sell at a premium. The USP is 10 mins home delivery. Vishal megamart and Reliance are the discount sellers
If you want to buy stuff for less than hundred rupees neighborhood kirana stores is the better option and there is the added bonus of tobacco products which are not available in Blinkit
You don't know a thing about this, blinkit is not cheap it is expensive
In some places that could ease congestion on the road. Heavy traffic and kiranas on both sides . Honestly quite dangerous
