Aimed at enhancing its capabilities in vendor acquisition, hyperlocal marketing and grocery delivery while expanding its service reach, KiranaPro, an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered quick commerce platform, has acquired Joper app, a hyperlocal grocery delivery service that connects small kirana stores with customers.
Through this acquisition, KiranaPro will fully integrate Joper app’s operations, leveraging its strengths in local vendor outreach and customer engagement. Since its inception, the Joper app has successfully expanded its operations in about 25 cities, including Ranchi, thane, Kolkata, Jaipur, etc.
“This acquisition not only strengthens KiranaPro’s presence in the hyperlocal commerce space but also ensures better tech-enabled solutions for local store owners, improving efficiency and customer experience. The move aligns with KiranaPro’s mission to empower small retailers, helping them compete with major quick commerce giants,” stated Deepak Ravindran, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of KiranaPro.
Joper had onboarded multiple store owners and built a customer base while operating on a rented platform. The company excelled in marketing and store operations, demonstrating strong expertise in vendor acquisition.
“Just like KiranaPro, Joper’s mission has always been to empower small kirana store owners by bridging the gap between local businesses and digital commerce. While we successfully onboarded numerous vendors and built a loyal customer base, I realized that long-term growth demands a strong, customizable technology platform. Partnering with KiranaPro presents the perfect opportunity to scale this vision using their advanced AI-driven tools, ONDC integration, and voice-enabled ordering system,” stated Sumit Gorai, Founder of Joper app.
After this acquisition, Joper app’s onboarded stores, vendors, and customers will shift to the unified ecosystem. KiranaPro will leverage Joper’s vendor acquisition expertise to expand its market reach further and strengthen local store partnerships.
