My childhood memories revolve around my grandpa's Kirana store, a community hub that he ran with so much pride. This recollection is not unique to me; it's a sentiment shared by millions across India, forming units of our country's strong economic backbone. However, a distressing scenario is unfolding. Over 200,000 Kirana stores have been forced to close recently due to Quick Commerce's dominance, projecting a grim future with more than a million stores at risk by the end of this year.

The powerful Dark Store model of Quick Commerce companies poses a massive threat to these small businesses. Yet, hope is not lost. KiranaPro, an AI-powered tool, along with Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC), offers a chance of survival and even prosperity for these crucial pillars of our economy.

Through the SAVEKIRANA campaign, we want to make people adopt ONDC and KiranaPro to combat this ongoing crisis. Your support will help stimulate awareness about the looming danger of Quick Commerce and promote actions that stand for the sustenance of Kirana stores. We believe that the value of a community cannot be superseded by convenience alone. The heart of our culture lies within these stores, and they need our help to continue their legacy.

Your signature will boost this message and influence the needed policymaking. It is time to save our Kirana Stores. Please sign this petition and strengthen the campaign.
