NEW DELHI : E -grocers, such as StoreSe, HousejoyMart and Near.store, have seen demand growth as much as five-fold during the 57-day nationwide lockdown, as established online retailers and grocery stores struggled to cope with supply disruptions and labour shortages.
To cash in on the growing demand for daily needs, they tied up with offline retailers and kirana stores to deliver essentials at the customer’s doorstep.
StoreSe, which launched its online grocery platform in Bengaluru in March, adopted an asset-light model with a strong network of stock partners, supply chain and delivery fleet.
It has partnered with both kiranas and large-format retail stores such as Vishal Mega Mart, Modern Bazaar, METRO Cash and Carry, and MORE.
