System, not six vendors
Convert your existing store
Keep the shop, the shelves and the customers you already have. Add an online storefront, delivery across your area, and a back office that tells you what is actually selling and what is sitting.
- • Your catalogue and pricing, online in weeks rather than quarters
- • Inventory, purchasing and margin visibility in one console
- • Delivery and shipping without building logistics yourself
Start a new business
Open an Indian grocery business in your area without sourcing a catalogue, negotiating with distributors, or writing a line of software. The commerce platform and supply side arrive ready.
- • Turnkey ecommerce, catalogue and sourcing from day one
- • An exclusive delivery territory you build in
- • Start online-first; add a physical location when it makes sense
What turnkey actually means
Not a website template. The operating system for a grocery business — the same platform this store runs on.
Your storefront, ready to sell
A branded ecommerce store with the full catalogue, dietary and cold-chain handling, search, and an AI shopping assistant trained on real inventory.
Sourcing and supply
Buy through established distributor relationships. Purchase orders, supplier lead times, receiving, lot and expiry tracking are built into the platform. Your shelves double as a fulfilment node for the wider network.
Back office included
Inventory across locations with a full stock-movement ledger, reorder points, purchasing, order operations, refunds and an audit trail.
Local delivery and nationwide shipping
Scheduled local delivery with time windows and a same-day cutoff, plus carrier shipping for everything outside your delivery radius.
Customers who come back
Loyalty points and tiers, gift cards and store credit, saved reorder lists, and festival campaigns built for the Indian calendar.
Analytics that answer questions
Sales and margin by product and channel, inventory turnover, dead stock, repeat-customer behaviour and restock forecasting.
A territory that is genuinely yours
Territories are defined by ZIP code, not by a line drawn on a map. Your delivery area, your delivery fee, your free-delivery threshold and the weekdays you deliver are all yours to set.
Orders inside your ZIPs route to you and are fulfilled from your stock. Orders outside them ship nationwide. Adding or adjusting your coverage is a setting, not a development project.
You control, per territory
- ▸ The ZIP codes you serve
- ▸ Delivery fee and free-delivery threshold
- ▸ Which weekdays you deliver
- ▸ Delivery windows and the daily cutoff
- ▸ The location orders are fulfilled from
Delivery without a fleet
Same-day local delivery does not require hiring drivers or buying vans.
Uber Direct
Dispatch an Uber courier for a local order straight from the order screen. The customer gets live tracking; you never run a fleet. Built and ready to switch on.
Grubhub
Reach customers already shopping on the marketplace, as an additional channel alongside your own storefront. On the roadmap — talk to us about timing for your territory.
Carrier shipping
Anything outside your delivery radius ships nationwide, with cold-chain rules applied automatically so frozen goods never travel in a way that spoils them.
Earn from orders you never had to win.
Your store is not only a shop — it is a fulfilment node. A nationwide order placed anywhere in the country should ship from whichever partner is closest to the customer, and the revenue on those goods belongs to the partner who ships them.
The customer gets a shorter, cheaper, fresher shipment. You get volume from demand you did not have to advertise for. Every partner who joins makes the network denser and every other partner a little more reachable.
How the fulfilment layer works
- 1Your stock is visible to the networkInventory is tracked per location, so the platform knows what sits on your shelves and what does not.
- 2Orders route to a fulfilling locationEvery order records the location it is fulfilled from, and stock is drawn from that location rather than a single pool.
- 3Local orders already route by territoryAn order inside your ZIP codes is fulfilled from your store today.
- 4Nearest-partner shipping is the next stepRouting nationwide orders to the closest partner with stock is in development — the inventory and fulfilment plumbing it needs is already in place.
Where the revenue comes from
Five lines, not one. A physical store earns on the first; a partner on this platform earns on all of them.
Walk-in and pickup
If you already have a store, nothing about that changes — except that it now has a catalogue, stock control and margin reporting behind it.
Local delivery
Scheduled home delivery across the ZIP codes you own, with a delivery fee you set and a free-delivery threshold that lifts basket size.
Nationwide shipping
Shelf-stable goods sold well beyond your delivery radius, priced by you and shipped from your stock.
Network fulfilment
Orders won anywhere in the country, routed to you because you are nearest and hold the stock. Demand you did not pay to acquire.
Repeat and loyalty
Points, tiers and saved reorder lists exist to make the second order easier than the first — groceries are a repeat-purchase business.
Gift cards and festivals
Gift cards sell cash up front and bring a new customer with them. Festival campaigns concentrate demand into the weeks that matter.
What you keep
- • The full margin on every product you sell
- • Control of your retail pricing, promotions and volume discounts
- • Your delivery fees and free-delivery thresholds
- • The customer relationships inside your territory
What you carry
- • Cost of goods and your own working capital
- • Payment processing fees
- • Premises and staff, if you have them
- • The technology fee — nothing for two years, then 5% of sales
On numbers: we do not publish revenue projections or typical-earnings figures, and you should be wary of anyone in this category who does. What a territory earns depends on its population, your pricing, your sourcing and how you run it. We will walk through the mechanics with you directly, and any figures we are able to share come through the formal disclosure documents rather than a web page.
Built so you can get established first
The technology fee is 5% of sales, and it does not start until your third year. The first two years carry no technology fee at all — the period when a new territory is finding its customers is the period you keep the most.
You keep your margin on goods. You set your own retail pricing and volume discounts. Payment processing, sourcing terms and any physical premises remain your own costs.

How it works
Talk
We look at your area, your existing business if you have one, and whether the territory is open.
Territory
We map your delivery ZIPs and set your local delivery fees, thresholds and delivery days.
Onboard
Catalogue, pricing and inventory are loaded. Your store, admin console and delivery scheduling go live.
Trade
You run the business. We run the platform, the sourcing relationships and the roadmap.
Questions we get asked
Do I need a physical store?
No. Several territories are better started online-first, with delivery and shipping only, and a location added later once demand is proven. If you already have a store, it becomes the fulfilment point for your territory.
Who owns the customer relationship?
You serve and keep the customers in your territory. Orders inside your ZIP codes route to you and are fulfilled from your stock.
What does the technology fee cover?
The storefront, the admin and inventory console, delivery scheduling, analytics, loyalty and gift cards, the AI assistant, hosting, and continued development. It is 5% of sales and does not begin until your third year.
Can I set my own prices?
Yes. Retail pricing, promotions and volume discounts are yours. We do not dictate what you charge.
What do I still pay for myself?
Goods, payment processing, any premises and staff, and local delivery costs. Those remain the operator’s costs and the operator’s margin.
How long does onboarding take?
It depends on whether you are converting an existing catalogue or starting fresh, and on how quickly territory and sourcing are settled. We will give you a realistic timeline for your situation rather than a headline number.
