Hey I am on Medial • 1d

Small neighborhood kirana stores have to be the worst business model in India right now. I've watched my uncle struggle with his shop for 15+ years. The margins are razor-thin (2-3% on most items), hours are brutal (14+ hours daily), and now they're getting crushed between online grocery delivery and massive retail chains like DMart and Reliance Fresh. Add in the constant distributor issues, spoilage problems, and the fact that half your customers want credit that they'll pay "next month." Yet drive through any residential area and you'll see new kirana stores opening constantly. People jump in thinking "everyone needs groceries" without understanding the economics. My uncle works harder than anyone I know and barely makes what a fresh IT graduate earns.
