01 Overview

Quick commerce is India's fastest-growing segment — Zepto, Instamart, and Blinkit are doing ₹1000+ crore GMV each. But traditional supermarkets, kirana chains, and regional players can capture their local markets with custom apps at fraction of the cost. AdelSocial builds grocery delivery apps for supermarkets, kirana chains, dark store networks, and B2B wholesale platforms.

02 The Challenges

Problems we solve

The operational friction killing growth right now. Each one eliminated by what we build.

01

Kirana stores can't compete with Zepto

10-minute delivery from apps is killing local kiranas. Your own app fights back with hyperlocal reach.

02

Supermarkets bleed to aggregators

Adding your store to BigBasket costs 25% commission. Direct app = own your margins.

03

Inventory chaos

SKU tracking across 5,000+ items, expiry management, batch numbers — Excel doesn't work at scale.

04

Delivery cost eats profits

Ad-hoc delivery via Dunzo/Porter costs ₹80-120 per order. Optimized in-app fleet = ₹30-50.
