Powering Kirana commerce | Jumbotail

In the year 1998, a young man joins the Indian army. He is deeply patriotic and dedicated a decade of his life in service to the nation.

But he starts to realise that the way to make India strong is not by building up military capabilities, but by making it so wealthy that none dare pick a fight.

He intuitively understands that the path to making India wealthy is by fixing market access.

This simple insight led him to spend the next 6 years working in disruptive startups before starting up Jumbotail - which today is among the leading e-commerce platforms for kirana stores.

Tune in to this conversation where Karthik Venkateswaran shares his incredible journey from serving in the Indian Army to disrupting traditional retail without disempowering the last-mile retailers.
