Kristen Fischer, an American content creator currently living in Delhi, has revealed one thing she loves about India. In an Instagram video, she shared her experience of a quick trip down the street to the local kirana store and called it the backbone of how the country functions. Amid the rapid rise of quick-commerce platforms delivering groceries in just 10 to 15 minutes, local kirana stores have been losing their prominence in major cities.
Walking just a minute from her home, Fischer took her followers along on a quick morning errand. “Come with me as I go to the Kirana shop this morning. She bought milk and paid in cash, and came back home. “Need to learn a thing or two about getting some extra steps…
Now, this shop is less than a one-minute walk from my house, and I come here for so many things,” she said. “So fast and convenient, and then I just walk the one minute back to my house,” she said. Blinkit/Instamart has spoiled the habit of stepping out,” a third user said.
