Can you brief me about your journey to founding this company? What inspired you to start it?

Divyanshu Solanki: My journey to founding this company began with a passion for improving accessibility to essential goods in local communities. Witnessing the challenges people faced in finding quality stationery, books and gifting items such as toys inspired me to create Quick Commerce.

What gap or opportunity in the market did you identify that led to the creation of Quick Commerce in the Stationery and Gifting industry?

Divyanshu Solanki: The market lacked a centralized platform that offered a wide selection of stationery, books and gifting items while prioritizing speed and convenience.
