Jumbotail | B2B Grocery Marketplace

Founded by Ashish Jhina and S. Karthik Venkateswaran in 2015, Jumbotail is a B2B marketplace, serving thousands of mom & pop stores (Kiranas). It provides storefront deliveries to kirana stores, along with its fintech platform for payment, credit solutions and financial services. 

Jumbotail ecosystem has 4 in-house, proprietary platforms – B2B online marketplace, Supply Chain & Logistics, Fintech for SME Lending, and a Retail platform that powers its J24 branded convenience grocery stores.

Jumbotail is reimagining and reengineering the food and grocery ecosystem through intelligent technology, intuitive design, and innovative business and supply chain models.

The firm claims to transform traditional unorganised kirana stores into branded modern convenience grocery stores, owned and operated by kirana entrepreneurs, powered by Jumbotail’s New Retail platform. It provides consumer branding, in-store GoldenEye retail technology, data-driven product selection and merchandising insights, an integrated supply chain with daily store fulfilments, a green card loyalty program and payment solutions.
