Online groceries is what’s in

The online supermarkets and hyper stores have changed the monthly grocery buying experience and have taken it to a whole new level. With many local and national level websites and service-oriented businesses seeing light of day, this phenomenon is not just helping public to get things delivered at their doorstep but is also generating a certain scale of employment opportunities.

The domestic service providers have taken up a roaring business in the city with just networking and technology as their strengths. While local startups like myservant.com , homeneeds and others are going the extra mile to promote their idea, big players who already are pioneers in the industry like Bigbasket and many others are giving a tough competition to the local service providers.

‘Made easy’ has become the key term for both customers and service providers. These services have come handy for people who wish for things to be done at their doorstep without having to wait or go by themselves. It seems there are more such services in stock for the convenience of people in the city. Big Basket is already operating its services in the city from December.

A teacher, Ch Vijaya, resident of Patamata said, “When I found a flyer about the services of groceries being delivered, I did not take it seriously since quality of the product is unpredictable. Due to a situational emergency I found it difficult to go out and purchase my groceries and so resorted to the internet. Pretty impressive I should say. Quite impressive and handy for a person who works in the day. ''

“The expenditure on grocery and daily essentials is the largest and most consistent share of the wallet for any household. Irrespective of the price fluctuation one has to buy groceries in common and that is where, these websites help in bringing them to the door steps without the customer’s requirement of time and efforts,” said AP Business Head of Big Basket, K Ramachandra Kiran.
