The MRP Challenge ๐ฎ๐ณ ๐งพ In India, most products sold must comply with Maximum Retail Price (MRP) laws. That means: โก๏ธ No room to mark up items โก๏ธ Canโt include machine maintenance, electricity, rent in price โก๏ธ Lower or no margin = no ROI in short span Kirana stores dominate local retail because they offer: โ๏ธ Flexibility (buy in loose) โ๏ธ Personal credit โ๏ธ Bargaining โ๏ธ Familiarity โ ๏ธ Meanwhile, vending machines sell fixed-price, packaged products like chips & colas โ already available nearby. Result: High competition + low differentiation = poor performance. Join the Conversation ๐ฌ Weโre exploring how vending can be reshaped for Indiaโs unique market. ๐ข We want your thoughts: ๐ก What innovative vending models do YOU see working in India? ๐ง What use-cases are still untapped? ๐ธ Who would invest in a long-term retail automation model? ๐ Drop your advice, reviews, or suggest investor networks in the comments! Letโs build the future of Indian retail โ together. India isnโt the USA โ and vending machines here donโt print profits. Between MRP rules and kirana dominance, the traditional cold-drink vending model doesnโt work for us. So how can we make vending profitable โ and meaningful โ in Bharat? Weโre researching new models, and we need your feedback, advice, and investor insights. ๐ง Whatโs the next big idea in vending? ๐ฌ Comment below or DM if youโre building or funding something similar. ๐ Letโs rethink vending โ the Indian way.
