🎊 Delighted to announce that we have doubled down on Fairdeal.Market, as it raises $3M in pre-Series A funding led by Incubate Fund Asia ✨ Co-founded by brothers Prateek and Yash Bansal, India’s first B2B quick commerce platform, Fairdeal, is built on a clear mission to empower India's micro-retailers (kiranas) and enable their transition into the digital retail economy. Kirana stores are actively defining India's digital economy. At a time when most of the technology distribution models are focused on shifting market share away from these retailers, Fairdeal is aligning with them by providing cloud inventory of over 1000+ SKUs, and discovery of upcoming brands with better margins. Fairdeal combines instant delivery with intelligent demand sensing to ensure retailers get exactly what they need, when they need it. Retailer's capital is no longer stuck on the shelves. For the first time, retailers are operating with real-time supply chains, behaving like modern, asset-light businesses. Within a year of operations, Fairdeal is already approaching $10M ARR on the back of a low-burn, capital-efficient model with robust unit economics. With the capital infusion, Fairdeal will deepen its technology moat, expand into new zones in Delhi-NCR, and onboard more D2C and regional “hero” brands. We wish Prateek, Yash and team Fairdeal all the success as it gears up to become the de facto operating system for India’s micro retailers and brands 🚀 Ashish | Kartik
