Shri
Amit Agarwal
Senior
Vice President, India Consumer Business
Amazon
Dear
Amit,
I
came across :
which reads :
“ This is evident from
Amazon’s recent foray into the grocery segment in India, something that it has
not tried in its home turf (US) or other geographies.
“ We will increase our engagement with
kirana stores from where a shopper can get food and other essentials delivered from nearby stores
within 2-4 hours of placing an order,” Agarwal said.
However, the Amazon executives did not
get into specifics. Agarwal pointed to the company’s delivery network which enabled it to
deliver products to 99.3 per cent of pin codes during the recent festival sale.
This service is available currently in Bengaluru.
Through its new delivery service, the
owners of kirana shops can upload their inventories onto the Amazon website for
local shoppers to see what’s available in nearby stores.
This will be delivered either through the
company’s delivery service or through third-party logistics companies.
“The
customer push is evident, and in achieving scale, technology will play a
pivotal role. “Innovate at
scale using technology is our mantra,” said Agarwal.
Sometime back , I
conceptualized how Reliance Retail might organize 4 million KIRANA shops ,
using technology
Although Amazon has clear
advantages over Reliance in matter of retailing , you might still want to look
up following links
With regards,
Hemen Parekh
