Client Overview

The client is an Ahmedabad-headquartered FMCG distributor and brand-builder representing multiple food and home-care brands across Gujarat and western India. With BigBasket, JioMart, and Amazon Fresh reshaping Indian online grocery, real-time pricing visibility became business-critical.

Online grocery in India is dominated by BigBasket (Tata-owned), JioMart (Reliance), and Amazon Fresh — each with distinct pricing, private-label, and promotional dynamics.

Business Challenges

Private-Label Competition

BigBasket's bb own brands, JioMart's private labels competed aggressively against the distributor's brands.

Three-Platform Coverage

BigBasket, JioMart, and Amazon Fresh each had distinct pricing and promotional dynamics.

Pack-Size & Combo Complexity

Online grocery favoured larger family packs and combos; mapping these against standard SKUs was complex.

Regional Pricing Variation

Same SKU often priced differently in Gujarat vs Mumbai vs Delhi — regional intelligence was essential.

• Track 2,900+ SKUs across BigBasket, JioMart, Amazon Fresh
• Benchmark distributor brands against platform private labels
• Capture promotional and combo offer structures
