Problem
 
Over the past two decades, Indian consumption has shifted significantly from traditional physical retail, online digital marketplaces, D2C websites to quick commerce. This transition has highlighted several critical issues within these sectors:

  1. Lack of Digitization: Many physical retailers have been slow to adopt digital solutions, which hampers their ability to compete with more agile, tech-savvy quick commerce platforms.
  2. Middlemen Payments and Reconciliation: The involvement of numerous intermediaries complicates payment processes and reconciliation, leading to inefficiencies and increased operational costs.
  3. Highly Unorganized Network: The physical retail sector is characterized by a fragmented and unorganized network, making it difficult for brands to manage and optimize their supply chains effectively.
  4. Evolving Supply Chains: Brands face constant challenges in evolving their supply chains to meet the demands of a rapidly changing market. This involves dealing with multiple stakeholders, each with their own set of requirements and expectations.
  5. Lack of Omnichannel Partners: There is a notable deficiency in omnichannel partners who can seamlessly integrate online and offline retail experiences, further complicating the retail landscape for brands.

Addressing these issues is crucial for the physical retail sector to remain competitive and meet the evolving needs of Indian consumers.
