Empowering Retailers and SMEs across India

The growing popularity of wholesale markets in India

Wholesale markets like Hing Ki Mandi in Agra, Sadar bazaar in Delhi, Textile market in Surat, Johri bazaar in Jaipur, and Bura bazaar in Kolkata have emerged as the primary choice of retailers to source products. A major part of wholesale trade in India arises from these markets.

A greater number of retailers in India visit such wholesale markets to buy stock for their stores. Though it sounds easy, it’s quite challenging for them as trust and credibility issues often crop. Plus, visiting such markets frequently is time-consuming, draining, and results in a lot of expenditure as well. Resultantly, they would settle for buying large quantities of products to save themselves from the hassle of visiting frequently. However, this has its own downside as they need to lock their working capital for a relatively longer duration, and a greater inventory risk stares at them. Thus, buyers have a hard time keeping their inventory updated.

In the case of sellers, the traditional options limited them to either their existing network of buyers or footfall in their business. Further, payment collection is also delayed and riddled with uncertainties. Consequently, the possibilities of expanding the business are also quite limited.

Why has Risor become the first choice of these Retailers? To understand this, let’s take a deeper dive into the b2b trade of India.
