3 months ago, the team at grofers set out on a journey to transform how we buy everyday things into a delightful experience that helps everyone live a stress free life without planning and become the best version of themselves outside the chore of looking for things they need everyday. Today, we launched our 200th store that delivers magic for our customers in 10 minutes or less.
While we take great joy in creating magic for over 1.1 lakh customers everyday in our instant commerce business, the true pleasure of creating this ecosystem comes from learning about the people who build this with us.
Our 200th store belongs to Sanjay Goel ji (aged 60) from Noida who runs the store with his son, Hardik, who is just 21, and has dreamt of having his own business his whole life. Their family has been in the grocery business for the last 30 years, and wanted to partner with us to serve their local community while being part of the technology revolution. Sanjay ji and Hardik are just few of the hundreds of local businesses and entrepreneurs with grofers on this journey.
Their store is located in Sector 45 Noida and grofers is helping them do more business from their store everyday. If you live anywhere around Sector 45 Noida, please order from the grofers app and you will be helping a local business thrive.
The great joy of building an experience that gives our customers a new tool to change how they live their lives is multiplied when we look at the change in the lives of those that make it happen, like the Goel family.
At grofers, we are all humbled by these stories everyday and it motivates us to do more for our country and communities. We have been able to roll out 200 stores in the last three months, and are working hard with entrepreneurs like Hardik to roll out another 150 stores in the next 45 days.
Grofers is a community of over 20,000 folks from different walks of life - technologists who are innovating for instant commerce, delivery folks who shuttle between a store and your doorstep, and passionate entrepreneurs from all walks of life.
