Half of the tech-boom of the past decade is the result of the on-demand companies that cater to various industry niches. With the increasing popularity of smartphones and the utility of ever growing internet, e-shopping has dominated the retail sector (popularly known as e-commerce or m-commerce). There has been a proportional increase in market revenue and a growth opportunity for aspiring app developers. Apps like Instacart, BigBasket, Grofers, Flipkart Supermarket, Amazon Pantry – all fall in this category. These have been working on the principle of connecting local restaurants and stores with customers. As the customers place their order, a representative selects the items (as fresh as possible) and adds them into their cart. As the payment is complete, the items are packaged and delivered to the respective location.
