This is what helps us differentiate thereby giving us higher bill sizes, more supply chain efficiencies allowing us to offer free home delivery which in turn leads to a better customer experience. We don’t only sell household products; we aim to sell experiences, enriching the lives of people by using technology to create a world-class global retail destination by 2015.”
 
MyGrahak makes products available to customers at a click or call. While supermarkets offer customers 3V’s - Value, Variety and Volume, MyGrahak offers 3C’s – Convenience, Customer Needs Solution & Cost Effectiveness. Thus, all 3V’s are encompassed in one C of MyGrahak i.e. Customer Needs Solution. The venture is now all set to usher a paradigm shift in Indian retail sector, exploiting the low cost scalable and sustainable e-commerce platform and creating a new format e-retail for the consumers in the country. With retail on high growth trajectory, consumerism booming & e-commerce proliferating; this new format of food and grocery store will cater the needs of Indian consumers to have value for money, personalization and convenience of a typical supermarket, delivered at their doorsteps.
