<ul><li>After a couple of dull years and a few failures, online grocery in India is back with a bang. </li><li>SoftBank has put in fresh funds in Grofers while Reliance Industries Limited is reportedly looking to buy a majority stake in Grab. </li><li>Swiggy had recently announced its foray into online grocery delivery with Swiggy stores. </li></ul> There was a time when the online grocery vertical had become the hot favourite with major players trying their luck in the game. But soon with failures piling up one over the other, exits were announced. Come 2019 and it seems like it’s going to be the year hyperlocal grocery delivery again. Sector leader BigBasket may become the first unicorn – clock a valuation of $1 billion – of 2019, and food delivery startup Swiggy threw in its hat into groceries with Swiggy Stores. Swiggy, which raised a whopping $1 billion in funding in December, has already piloted the operations in Gurugram and has tied up with <a href="https://www.business-standard.com/article/companies/swiggy-takes-on-bigbasket-grofers-to-deliver-groceries-from-local-stores-119021201294_1.html">3,500</a> local stores. However, these startups will be battling the deep pockets of Mukesh Ambani and the Japanese Softbank. Reliance Industries Limited is <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/ril-in-talks-for-majority-stake-in-startup-grab/articleshow/68192744.cms">reportedly</a> in talks to buy a majority stake in Grab, a hyperlocal delivery startup for groceries, medicines and food based out of Mumbai. Grofers has raised <a href="https://tech.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/internet/grofers-raises-fresh-funds-from-existing-investor-softbank-as-e-grocers-valuation-hits-425m/68203728">fresh funds</a> from SoftBank Vision Fund (the Japanese firm had earlier too invested in the e-grocery company) which takes its valuation to $425 million. This excitement was missing in the space the last few years. E-grocery startup PepperTap had to shut its operations in 2016. In a blog on <a href="https://yourstory.com/2016/04/peppertap-journey-navneet-singh">YourStory</a>, Navneet Singh, founder of PepperTap, wrote about the problem they faced. “The integration of our app with our partner stores was not great. In the race to pepper the whole country with PepperTap, we had brought too many stores online far too quickly,” he wrote. Another unicorn startup Paytm too had explored the e-grocery space with Paytm Zip, only to shut shop in 2015. So, even with clear failures in the past, what makes today’s unicorns still find their way into the space? A simple answer - the demand still exists. Grocery stores aren’t called convenience stores for nothing. For today’s millennial who is busy with work to order groceries on a tap is an easy, convenient way out. A report on the online grocery space in India by Red Seer consulting states, “Inspite of all these disruptions and changes, one thing that did not change was the massive potential for online grocery- as indicated by India’s USD 500+ Bn grocery market out of which a mere 0.2% is online (~USD 1.2 bn overall and ~USD 1 Bn considering only hyperlocal grocery).” The proof that it still works is seen in BigBasket’s <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/small-biz/startups/newsbuzz/bigbaskets-wholesale-unit-revenue-up-35/articleshow/67358734.cms">revenue</a> report. In the year 2017-18, BigBasket saw its revenue grow by 35% while losses dropped by 53%. In FY19, the company expects the revenue to grow by <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/companies/bigbasket-chief-hari-menon-expects-75-revenue-jump-in-fy19-to-rs-3500-crore-3183251.html">75%</a>. Grofers which had posted a net loss of <a href="https://tech.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/internet/grofers-narrows-loss-to-rs-258-cr-as-sales-double-in-fy2018/68105608">₹268 crore</a> in FY 17, managed to post a loss of ₹258 crore in FY18. The company has also added <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/grofers-eyes-rs-2500-crore-revenue-in-fy19-adds-2-5-lakh-new-customers-in-january-3453911.html">2.5 lakh</a> new customers in January, while also aiming for a revenue of over ₹2500 crore. And with big backers like Mukesh Ambani and Softbank entering the fray, the competition, too, will be intense. The battle for dominance may mean more discounts and cashbacks for consumers.

Online grocers are back in business in India with billions more to burn – and that may be good for consumers

<ul><li>In an interview with Business Insider, Anant Goel, CEO and co-founder, <keyword id="4085901" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Milkbasket">Milkbasket</keyword> talks about why he doesn’t want to offer discounts to his customers. </li><li>The company is averaging 75,000 orders a day with over 2,250,000 in a month. </li><li>It aims to hit $100 million run rate by the end of the current financial year.</li></ul><keyword id="2709620" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="grocery-delivery">Grocery delivery</keyword> startup Milkbasket has its head in the game. It is forecasting to hit $100 million in revenue by the end of the current financial year. Today, the Indian grocery space is crowded with multiple players and newly turned unicorns like <keyword id="964794" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="BigBasket">BigBasket</keyword>, soonicorns like Grofers. Even food delivery unicorns like Swiggy too are entering the sector. Milkbasket insists on growing without discounts However, while all of these new and old startups are trying to offer discounts and faster delivery options to lure consumers, Milkbasket is adamant. It doesn’t believe in discounts and has only a single slot delivery at 7 am in the morning. “That’s how you build a business, not by burning money. For any B2C business, you can always spoil the customer, but can you make money while doing it? Is it sustainable? We have always tried to strike the balance,” Anant Goel, CEO and co-founder, Milkbasket told Business Insider. So, the four-year-old startup has built a loyal consumer base, without having to give in to the new age trends. It serves 1.5 lakh households across 5 cities (Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Ghaziabad and Bengaluru). The company is averaging 75,000 orders in a day with over 2,250,000 in a month. “We now aim to hit $100 million run rate by the end of the current financial year, we are currently at $60 million,” said Goel. Investors aid Milkbasket’s growth story It has also been a good year for Milkbasket. There was a possible funding from Sachin Bansal’s BACQ Acquisitions. However Milkbasket and Bansal’s firm had issued a joint statement they weren’t going ahead with it. Later, it closed its series B round with $12.7 million. The series B investment includes $10.5 million led by Unilever Ventures and participation from Mayfield India, Kalaari Capital, and Blume Ventures and few Indian family offices and Innoven Capital. And Goel credits it all to doing things differently. “Lots of competition has come in, which was not there earlier or were smaller till last year. Competition in new shapes and forms with big money, chasing us and our customers,” Goel said with a laugh and added, “But we are sure about our model – a sustainable supply chain that can deliver groceries to you.” Busting the myth Goel also busts a myth for us. Contrary to popular belief, Milkbasket has always been into groceries and not just milk. But its name makes people think otherwise. However, the name too has a direct connect to their business model. “When we started grocery in 2015, there were about 200 startups in the space. We asked customers what they want from online grocery startups and they all said discounts. But we are not here to give away discounts. Milkbasket the name came about because milk is a commodity for which you don’t ask discounts, instead you pay more to get it delivered to your house and you are happy to do so,” he said.

“Tired from work, braving traffic jams to get to a jam-packed grocery store? Use our app, select the groceries you want from your nearest stores and get them delivered at your doorstep in no time. Best quality guaranteed at the cheapest rate!” Now, anyone in this world would fall for that idea. It is a great concept we agree, but not so great when the grocery apps fail to fulfill the tall promises they make. What seems like a heavenly service more often ends up becoming a nightmare when wrong products are delivered, or it takes an eternity for orders to reach you. Oblivious to how it is detrimental to their image in the market, our desi <keyword id="3162812" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="grocery-delivery-apps">grocery delivery apps</keyword> unfortunately are losing a great concept to poor customer service, something that forms the foundation of this business. 
 
The irony is, for customers, it ends up complicating their lives instead of simplifying it! Here’s how: 
 Vikram Sanghvi, an employee with a Gurgaon-based MNC, who used <keyword id="964794" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="BigBasket">Bigbasket</keyword> service found grave faults with the app recently: “I received a phone call at the delivery time saying that my order is out of stock and I will be sent an alternate option. I found out that the delivered product was of higher price compared to the one I wanted. Now, is it my fault that you have run out of stock. If you have, the app should not reflect such products so that one does not order it, but why should I compromise and pay a higher price for something I don't want,” he says. 
 Unlike Vikram,Vijaya Singh, a homemaker based in Gurgaon, who thought of trying out <keyword id="2466939" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Grofers">Grofers</keyword> app was delivered an alternative without informing her: “I ordered MDH masala packets. When I received the order, they sent me Catch masala packets instead. It makes me feel that they want to promote one brand over the other.” She also pointed that while ordering multiple products from various sections of Grofers – fruits and veggies, cosmetics, bakery – different delivery boys come at different time which she finds quite inconvenient. "One order and you have the door bell ringing 3 times in 15 minutes. I personally don't like this way of delivery," she says. 
 
Akash and Mandeep, both running their start-ups in South Delhi, have a bigger plight. Only half of the ordered items were delivered to them by Grofers. While Akash opted for the cash on delivery option and did not have to pay for all that he had ordered on the app, a furious Mandeep says “It has been over 45 days and still they haven't returned my money close to Rs 520. There is no money return policy, it’s shameful. You make the mistake and customer pays the price for it. Who runs a business like this.” 
 
For Janki, a mother and employee working at an MNC in Gurgaon, it was worse because the products were not delivered until the next day and what she was in store for is quite annoying: “I had ordered pampers for my kid from ZopNow. First, they postponed the order for another day and then they cancelled my order without informing me. When I called them for my money that I paid online, they said supervisor will call back but nobody reached out to me. Pathetic customer service,” she says. 
 We have all heard of late deliveries, but 6 days!! “We generally shop online and decided to give Godrej <keyword id="938654" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Natures-Basket">Nature's basket</keyword> online website a chance. It was the biggest mistake ever. We were told our order will be delivered in 48 hours, however even after 6 days we haven't received the order, neither have we received any update. The service is obviously very unprofessional and cannot be trusted, which we did not expect from a Godrej,” he says. 
 
Another young working lady, Shikha Singh, swears she won’t use the apps ever as it gave her the most embarrassing moment ever: “I ordered some grocery through Bigbasket app and I needed it urgently because some guests including my boss were coming over. The order was placed successfully and their call center confirmed the same to me. Not only were they late, but I got a call two hours later only to hear from the team that the items were out of stock and couldn’t be delivered. I had to order food from the restaurant for them. It was embarrassing as I had invited them to a home-made litti-chokha treat.” 
 
Not everyone has been that unlucky though. A couple of them we spoke to said that they received the right orders, except that it took them an eternity to get them at their doorstep. “The orders never seem to reach you before 2-3 hours, even the smallest orders take time. What if you have guests over? One can bring things from the market and finish cooking by the time they deliver,” says Saba Haider, a journalist working with a reputed media house in Noida, who uses Grofers for her household needs. 
 
There are even several users complaining of price disparity. They can’t stop short of calling it fraudulent practices. “I ordered Tropicana 100% orange juice from Nature's Hub. MRP for this product is Rs 120, but on the site it was displayed as Rs 99. Obviously, I was happy at the discount being offered and ordered 5 of them for Cash on Delivery. When the product came, they charged me Rs 120 (original MRP) for the product mentioning this was incorrectly priced on the site. Since I was not at home at that moment and my wife wasn't aware of it, she paid and opened the pack. Now this is totally unacceptable and misleading,” said Ashish Naik, a businessman based out of Mumbai. 
 
Dear concerned companies, we hope you are listening to them. Our humble advice – Please, treat your customers like god. If you don’t, you might fall out of the race even before you picked up. Don’t forget, you are because they are.
