CityMall: Revolutionizing Retail for Bharat's Underserved Populace

CityMall is at the forefront of transforming e-commerce in India, particularly targeting communities often ignored by traditional retail. As co-founder and CEO Angad Kikla revealed, the platform aims to provide affordable and aspirational everyday essentials to a massive, underserved population in Bharat.

In a market worth USD 600 billion, only a fraction is tapped by online commerce. The predominance of unorganized kirana stores highlights the challenge. CityMall's innovative approach leverages technology and community partners to remove inefficiencies and aggregate demand, making e-commerce not just accessible but exceptionally affordable for small-town households.

This digital intervention combines the traditional warmth of local kirana stores with the efficiency of modern e-commerce. As CityMall continues to expand, it stresses sustainable growth over heavy discounting, focusing instead on strong community ties and advanced logistics to ensure scalability across India's diverse landscapes.
