What We Do
KiranaPro is a Bengaluru-based quick-commerce startup focused on modernizing local grocery retail. Its platform connects consumers directly with nearby kirana stores, enabling ultra-fast deliveries through a hyperlocal network rather than traditional dark stores. The company uses AI, voice-based ordering in multiple Indian languages, ONDC, and “bright stores” that serve as both walk-in outlets and micro-fulfillment hubs, while also exploring fashion and augmented-reality commerce.
