Grocery chain Frendy plans to open 300 new marts and achieve INR 500 crore in revenue by 2026, capitalising on the growing consumer shift towards tech-enabled neighbourhood stores. Currently, the company operates over 25 mini marts and 2,000 mini kiranas.

Sameer Gandotra, Founder and CEO of Frendy, stated, “Our current goal is to increase the number of mini marts in tier 3 towns to 50 by the end of the year and expand to 300 by 2026. As we grow these mini marts, we will also digitally integrate with nearby micro kiranas, aiming to build a network of 10,000 micro kiranas in these rural areas. Our current revenue stands at approximately INR 60 crore.”

Quick commerce platforms are ramping up their 24×7 delivery services for the festive season to meet consumer demand around the clock, executives said. This expansion is a significant scale-up of an experiment they began piloting a few years ago.

“To address the increased demand during the festive season, Swiggy Instamart has expanded to 11 cities over the past two months and will now offer 24×7 delivery of festive essentials and other products,” said a spokesperson for the IPO-bound Swiggy.
