India’s retail sector is at a turning point.
While e-commerce continues to expand, over 85% of India’s retail consumption still comes from physical stores. Yet, the traditional kirana model is struggling—limited margins, lack of tech, fragmented supply chains, and poor financial support keep countless retailers from growing.
At Mar-Cat, we believe the future doesn’t lie in replacing small stores—it lies in rebuilding them. Stronger. Smarter. Scalable.
Here’s how we’re building the pillars of the new Indian retail—and how you can be part of this transformation.
While most franchise models are designed to extract royalties, Mar-Cat is built to enable entrepreneurs.
We give every franchise partner:
Full ownership of profits (₹0 royalty model)
Hands-on support from location selection to store launch
Business tools and insights that help you scale locally
Our belief: You don’t work for the brand—you grow with it.
Instead of pushing you to stock everything, we help you stock what sells—based on:
Hyperlocal demand projections
Competitor gap mapping
AI-powered purchase planning
This ensures better cash flow, fewer expiries, and higher margins.
Most retailers today still work manually or with outdated billing systems. We offer:
POS & Inventory management tools
Expiry and reorder alerts
Daily sales dashboards
Customer loyalty systems
This makes even a first-time retailer feel like a modern store owner from Day One.
Your store isn’t part of a mall. It’s part of a neighborhood. That’s why our growth model is built around hyperlocal visibility:
WhatsApp campaigns
Society activations
Early-bird coupons & footfall events
Local influencer and micro-collaborations
We don’t just open stores—we create buzz, community, and a loyal customer base.
Our vision is long-term. As India’s retail needs evolve, Mar-Cat is already building tools for the future:
Retailer-focused apps for local delivery and digital ordering
AI-based demand forecasting
Inventory mapping to optimize purchase cycles
Retail financing tools for working capital and expansion
We’re not just a supermarket brand—we’re a retail innovation platform.
Retailers often struggle with lack of capital and formal financial guidance. We’re working to change that through:
Simplified investment structures
Vendor partnerships with credit terms
Tools that help with GST, accounting & financing access
Your Mar-Cat store is not just a store—it’s a business you can grow confidently.
Every Mar-Cat store is owned by someone from the local community.
We are building a network of hundreds of locally-rooted, nationally connected retailers, driven by:
Transparency
Shared learning
A vision to uplift Indian retail from the ground up
This is more than a brand—it’s a retail movement.
We believe the next wave of Indian retail won’t come from massive corporations alone—it will come from local entrepreneurs equipped with the right tools, support, and belief.
At Mar-Cat, we’re not selling you a store.
We’re offering you a stake in a bigger vision: A smarter, connected, and modern Indian retail ecosystem
“Don’t just open a shop. Build a system that reshapes how retail works around you.” — Mar-Cat Vision Statement
Mar-Cat is more than a supermarket franchise—it’s a movement redefining Indian retail.
From local ownership to smart systems, we help you build a future-ready supermarket that thrives from the start.
