Roast the "New Zepto" Idea
So recently I was wondering how quick commerce poses a threat to the Kirana Stores.
Although the quick commerce is really convenient and swanky, it has its downsides:
Always pay 60 rupees extra on each order in the name of delivery fee, convenience etc.
Overspending on these apps to reach a minimum order value.
Buying vegetables is a hassle here.
What if we had an option of getting a delivery within 15 mins of your groceries from the nearby Kirana Stores in a radius of 5km.
this increases the visibility of that store
and removes the convenience charge for the consumer
it also plays on the factor of trust, where you buy stuff from your trusted kirana store near you.
How to make money?
the consumer pays a monthly pass of 500 for using the platform with zero convenience fees and delivery charges.
the Kirana stores pay a fee to use the platform.
Is this something that would interest you?

These downsides you've listed are a real stretch, and aren't really that much of a problem.

But the major problem is how will you convince Kirana stores to join the platform and adapt to the new age of quick commerce ?
