About CityMall:

City Mall is a community commerce platform focused on 300 million new to internet users living in 400 small cities, towns, and villages in India. City Mall primarily focused on Grocery,

Fresh and Packaged FMCG categories. Smaller towns and cities are untouched by traditional online e-grocers with large players like Gofers & Big Basket present in top 8 metropolitan cities in India. Key bottlenecks are lack of trust, lack of familiarity to browse and purchase online, low average order values (which makes economic viability a challenge for the platforms), lack of credit in online channels (which neighbourhood stores offer).

City Mall is a highly efficient channel to serve these consumers through "Community Leader's are the "Social" & "Geographical" connectors between end consumers and City Mall. They help us in acquiring customers, doing sales & marketing to retain wallet share as well as doing the last mile logistics in their communities making the community led model more suitable for small towns, cities, and villages.
