Current Scenario 1 Kirana and Local Stores don’t currently have the visibility of big branded stores, malls, and shopping complexes
Current Scenario 2 Consumers visiting local shops and vendors are skeptical about the quality of goods + services they are purchasing
Thoughts 1 • One way this problem can be solved is to bridge the consumer and the small local retailer via more meaningful interactions
Thoughts 2 • Having a listing, explanation and awareness guide on where local stores/shops are, what they offer, and the types of goods, products they stock all help in achieving greater visibility for the local enterprise
