India is the sixth largest grocery market in the world. So much for a country where 41.6 per cent people are below the poverty line. The food and grocery segment constitutes about 70 per cent of the $470 billion retail markets in India.
But only 5-8 per cent of the Indian market is organized, the rests are the disorganized mom and pop shops run by family members. But the trend is fast changing. More and more food and grocery stores are falling in line and growing at a rate of 18.4 %.
Bonus tip- start your online shop in your local area and tie-up with those shops which are far away distance from your store. This method will provide you with double benefits.
