The state is an important sourcing destination for us as we source a variety of fruits and vegetables directly from farmers, agriculture commodity products from local suppliers and food and non-food items for several private brands.
"As we continue to grow our B2B business, we are happy to create thousands of local jobs for youth in the State, boost the regional MSME ecosystem by developing and sourcing regional products, strengthen the agricultural supply chain by sourcing directly from farmers, serve kiranas and contribute to the economy at large. We have been receiving overwhelming response from our members to our exciting range of product assortment, quality and price. Over the years, we have also been able to introduce and integrate member-centric solutions for a seamless shopping experience. We are looking forward to serving many more members, especially kiranas and small businesses and help them save money so they can pass on their savings to their customers."
