Category Standard

Kirana Club is a verified, high-impact B2B community platform for India's 13M+ Kirana (grocery) stores. External search confirms over 1.8 million onboarded stores, 5 million+ app downloads, and ~$2M in funding. The project solves a critical information gap (Mandi prices, FMCG margins) for small retailers, demonstrating exceptional real-world utility and traction. However, the submission quality was extremely poor (vague claims, 'marketcap: null'), resulting in a significant penalty for Response Quality. Despite this, the project's massive verified scale places it in the top tier of usefulness.
