As of now we are doing quite a good business... But we don't live our life... more than 15 hours a day × 365 days we are working.

I am also a son of shopkeeper running kirana store for over 25 years. I have a elder brother. My father and brother are running it now. We know that average margin we earn from Kirana stores is 9%. If you open multi stores, you need to pay rents, hire atleast 3 people and much more. After doing all these, we cannot expect returns more than 20k per month. Now a days people are looking for easy buy and doorstep delivery with discount and cashback. To start this kind, we need to invest atleast 50Lakhs to get goods and higher margin so that we can give discount to end customer. Sometimes, I feel like doing 10 hour job including travel for 22 days a month and earning approximately same or more money they kirana store is much better. I started my job in 2017 with 12k per month and now I am earning nearly 1L (offcourse I spent many years in upgrading my skills as a software engineer) Still our income from Kirana store is roughly 50k. Better get into other business

Exactly brother... We do good business and take around 2 lakh rupees ( combined ) ... but I know this won't last for more ... Business is declining and profit margins are also shrinking.
