Associate Business Manager – Category – Business Developement
About the Team
Grocery has the biggest share of the overall retail spend in India and is projected to be an $800B market in 2024-25, of which the majority contribution comes from non-Metro cities. The grocery market in Metro has become crowded with a lot of players trying to solve the supply chain but the higher cost of logistics restricts these players to disrupt the lower tier cities.
At Grocery, we are building the most cost-effective distribution channel to disrupt the grocery market in lower tier (non-Metro) cities of India which is currently dominated by offline players. We are onto the journey of creating a hyperlocal marketplace for grocery and solving the intermediate inefficiencies in the distribution system.
Grocery is an early-stage mini start-up within Meesho with a completely different supply chain and modus operandi. We are a bunch of high-energy enthusiasts working towards creating something cool and something big.
