We would be happy to share our impact on how we have built the local delivery in Tier 2/3 market in India which is expected to grow for the next 500M people going online. We have launched milk tech with milk Subscription model for better customer stickiness & brand loyalty.
With India’s population and internet data consumption increasing at 400 %, we think it’s just at the nascent stage and want to make the most of this opportunity in Tier2/3/4 cities of India. There has been a huge demand in Tier2/3/4 cities for delivery services and supply has been zero in India.

At its core, Grozip is a technology company. We are working to solve last-mile logistics by allowing local merchants to outsource delivery. We work with merchants in your community to deliver items from local stores directly to your door.

We also work with a fleet of contractors who use our intelligent software to deliver goods efficiently and cheaply.
We’re serving a three-sided market, and we provide a different value to each side. For merchants, Grozip provides a way to deliver goods and a new channel to acquire customers. For consumers, it’s a way to discover new shops in your neighborhood and it’s a huge time-saver; if you’re a busy parent, for example, it means spending more time with your family.
