Shri Amit Agarwal
Senior Vice President, India Consumer Business
Amazon
Dear Amit,
I came across :
“ 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,

Reliance Juggernaut Rolls !
