Ria Bhattacharya, 36, a resident of south Kolkata, decided to order groceries in bulk from online grocer BigBasket in the middle of March, barely a few days after she had stocked up on monthly provisions.
“There is a category of consumers who are panic-stricken and stocking up in bulk…these consumers are instead rushing to the local grocery store,” said Sanchit Vir Gogia, founder and chief executive officer, Greyhound Research.
In such a case, the big challenge apps face is to ensure rationing the existing stock to a spread of consumers so that a particular household doesn’t get beyond a maximum quantity.
