1)Grocery store shoppers circle the parking area competitively, only to get inside and bump trolleys in overcrowded aisles. They queue for an eternity at the checkout before struggling with overflowing bags as they journey home.

2) With the rise in Internet penetration by 2010-11, we realised a lot of people were buying online, and the medium was becoming mainstream. That’s when we decided it was probably a good time to go back to online grocery. We knew there was a market, but the silver lining is that now there is a market to grow. That was really the premise that got us started with BigBasket.
