You must have heard all the views
about how FDI in retail will lead to disappearance of your local kirana shops.
We don’t really know if that is going to happen or not. But even before Walmart

‘Local Banya’, an innovative online grocery store started in May by Karan
Mehrotra, Rashi Choudhary and Amit Naik, which wants to change the way you shop
for grocery, one click at a time!
