This continues to remain an unfortunate reality in Bengaluru today. Traditional Indian kirana stores face significant challenges in competing with quick-commerce app based platforms such as Zepto, Blinkit, Swiggy Instamart, and Flipkart Minutes etc. which offer steep discounts and promise deliveries within as little as ten minutes.

Even now, I observe small, family-run shops in my neighbourhood either shutting down or on the brink of closure. These are typically local grocery outlets or fresh fruit and vegetable vendors.

Rest of World has recently published [1] that

Indian kirana stores are struggling to compete with quick-commerce (typically 10 minute delivery) apps like Zepto and Blinkit on discounts and delivery.
Around 200,000 kirana stores have closed in the past year, mostly in big cities.
Here are my two cents with respect to Bengaluru, India [2].

1. Most gated communities and large apartments complexes have their own mom-and-pop stores. Some even have eateries and barber shops. These stores and outlets have captive customers and are apparently doing okay.
2. The mom-and-pop stores that have closed used to be located almost near these apartment complexes and gated communities but not within a short walking distance.
3. Indian kirana stores (e.g. vegetable and fruit stalls, mini-restaurants and other outlets) in older localities with independent houses or smaller apartment complexes are still surviving and some are doing well.
4. Typically 10 minute delivery service providers like Blinkit, Zepto, Bigbasket Now, Swiggy Instamart etc. also stop operations in a locality almost without any notice. I am convinced that
these quick-commerce businesses are burning cash to establish a monopoly in the market.
5. Due to very heavy traffic in Bengaluru during normal working hours, independently reaching these local stores is a challenge. Sometimes even parking a two wheeler can be a headache.
6. Some of the closed mom-and-pop stores could have survived by providing better customer interface and experience.
7. The article [3] does not mention about the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) [4] which is a government initiative aimed at empowering small retailers, particularly kirana stores, to compete with e-commerce giants.
* ONDC provides a platform for kirana stores to compete with e-commerce giants.
* Kirana stores face challenges in adopting ONDC, including payment delays and lack of process discipline.
* ONDC offers advantages such as discoverability and competition with dark stores.

Doing some research on #ONDC. Will share links etc on this thread.

One Q that I was trying to answer post #IndiaFOSS2024 was: What is the entry barrier for an unincorporated entity to sign on to the ONDC Network. The juspay folks said it was quite low, but I'm looking at the compliance and the T&C requirements, and it is much higher.

You need a incorporated entity, and you need to pay ONDC both for onboarding, and on per-txn (in future)

Hey @nemo have you looked into the #ONDC or #NammaYatri APIs? How feasible is it to develop our own apps/frontends that plug in to the network?

If it works maybe I'll try something for #KaiOS 🤔
