Kirana Club Survey

Will Packed Mithai Steal Chocolate's Spotlight?

Amidst the buzz about packed mithai overtaking chocolates, especially during festivals, we decided to delve deeper. Our retailers were asked to weigh in, and the results weren't surprising. An overwhelming 60% reported a surge in demand for packed mithai, indicating a clear shift in consumer preferences.

Leading the pack are brands like Haldiram's, reigning supreme, followed closely by Bikaji, Bikano, and others. Visualize their dominance in the creative below, where the size of each logo mirrors its place in consumers' hearts.

Kirana Club Survey

Breaking News: Retailer Payments Shake-up!

After the recent RBI ban on PayTM, Kirana Club swiftly conducted a survey to assess its impact on our retailers. The findings are revealing!

Prior to the ban, 69% of our retailers depended on the PayTM QR code. However, post-ban, sentiments have shifted significantly—68% expressed a decrease in trust in the platform.

Perhaps most noteworthy is the rapid adoption of alternative payment apps; a staggering 42% of these retailers have transitioned, with PhonePe emerging as the preferred choice, closely followed by Google Pay.
