Kirana stores
Kirana stores are small, independently owned retail stores that are commonly found within Indian neighborhoods. They are typically less than 500 square feet and owned by an individual or family. In contrast, organized retail refers to large corporate-backed stores and chains that are registered for taxes. Common forms of organized retail include hypermarkets, supermarkets, department stores, specialty chains, and shopping malls. Most Indian retail remains unorganized, consisting of small local shops, general stores, and pavement vendors. While organized retail is growing, India and China still have retail markets dominated by unorganized and traditional small stores.
