New players emerge in grocery delivery space as online purchases skyrocket

As big-budget grocery e-commerce players struggle to meet the burgeoning consumer demand due to last-mile delivery bottlenecks, the Covid-19 pandemic has opened doors for several new players to enter the retail delivery industry. Companies like StoreSe.In, JustMyRoots, and Wow Momo Essentials, among others, have launched their grocery delivery operations within the last two months and are already seeing 3x-5x growth.

“We were piloting a new grocery delivery platform since January and had no plans to launch it now. With this unprecedented demand coming, and delivery players not being able to meet it, in March we made a quick move to launch StoreSe.in,” said Abhinav Pathak, CEO & Cofounder, Perpule.
