India is a nation of shopkeepers where there are 12.5 million Kirana stores. Due to the entry of large corporates and e-commerce in the business, there has been a fear of kiranas losing out on the business. However, Kirana owners who have implemented modern retail practices have been able to increase their sales and improve their business multifold.
