- Founded in 2019, Mumbai-based Near.Store set out to enhance India’s mom-and-pop stores by helping them make their offline inventory digitally searchable and discoverable.
- "Even though ecommerce had gained acceptance and significance in the Indian markets, it was interesting to see that the 17 million ‘mom-and-pop’ shops continued to control over 80 percent of the market share in the consumer goods sector. We saw a latent opportunity in creating a hyperlocal tech solution that could help shop owners use their inherent advantage of proximity to the customers in further consolidating their business," says Ashish.
- Once the Near.Store dongle is connected, the device uploads all products that the shop sells onto a dedicated online store. This doesn’t require any additional software installation, electricity, Wi-Fi, or entering any data manually.

- बीएड पास अपर्णा पिछले 3-4 सालों से बेकार पड़ी और फेंकी गई काँच की बोतलों को अपसाइकिल करके खूबसूरत और अनोखे होम डेकॉर प्रोडक्ट्स बना रही हैं। वह जो भी क्रॉफ्ट आइटम बनाती हैं, उसके लिए कोई वेस्ट बोतल ही इस्तेमाल करती हैं। अपसायकल्ड क्रॉफ्ट के प्रति अपने प्यार के चलते उन्होंने पिछले साल एक झील की सफाई भी करवा दी।
- अपर्णा ने शौक-शौक में आर्ट एंड क्रॉफ्ट शुरू किया और फिर जब उनका हुनर निखरता गया तो उन्हें ऑर्डर भी मिलने लगे। तरह-तरह के क्रॉफ्ट ट्राई करने वाली अपर्णा वेस्ट काँच की बोतलों को अपसायकल कर खूबसूरत रूप भी देने लगी। वह मन्रोतुरुत्तु में रहती हैं जो कोल्लम से थोड़ा दूर है और एक टूरिस्ट प्लेस है।
- अपर्णा अंत में बस इतना कहती हैं कि त्यौहारों पर हम तरह-तरह के प्लास्टिक डेकॉर का इस्तेमाल करके सिर्फ अपने घर का वेस्ट बढ़ाते हैं। इससे अच्छा है कि हम थोड़ा-सा वक़्त निकालें और खुद कुछ करने की कोशिश करें। कुछ ऐसा जिससे कि पर्यावरण भी सुरक्षित रहे और हमारा हुनर भी निखरे।
