multitude of categories - such as fruits & vegetables, general grocery, dairy,
frozen & bakery products, fish & meat, confectionery, detergents & cleaning
supplies, health & beauty products, media & electronics, household goods and
apparel - all under one roof, and at transparent, low wholesale prices. This helps
us improve our customers’ offerings, while providing them with a reliable
supply source. Analyzing the local requirements, a large percentage of the

the region.

5. Offices and institutions
Institutional buyers purchased office supplies, commercial
products, and electronic goods for business usage.
Unlike kirana stores, many of these customers had to be
managed individually.
The company appointed dedicated key account managers,
who had knowledge about specific industries and could
inform specific institutions about relevant product
portfolios, promotions, and technological advances. Other
initiatives for institutionalbuyers included specific product
ranges, doorstep delivery, and logistics assistance.
6. Traders and small retailers
Traders and small retailers dominated the food and grocery segment in the country.
These stores got products either through brand distributors or through wholesalers.
Some of these retailers shopped at Metro C&C for better prices and promotions.
These retailers had loyal customer bases in their respective catchment areas. While large in
number, many of these retailers lacked modern infrastructure and professional management
skills.

Challenges:
These stores were losing business to sophisticated MT stores
and e-commerce platforms.
