Quick commerce platform KiranaPro has acquired the hyperlocal grocery delivery service Joper.app to strengthen its presence in the hyperlocal retail sector.
The company, however, did not reveal the financial details of the transaction.
Founded in 2024 by Deepak Ravindran and Dipankar Sarkar, KiranaPro operates an AI-powered quick commerce platform, enabling Kirana stores to offer 10-minute deliveries via the ONDC network.
With this acquisition, KiranaPro plans to integrate Joper.app’s operations across 25 cities, including Ranchi, Thane, Kolkata, Jaipur, Mysuru, Noida, and Vaishali.
Previously, the Joper.app, which operated on Growcify’s rented platform, had established a network connecting Kirana store owners and customers in these locations.
“This acquisition strengthens our presence in the hyperlocal commerce space while ensuring better tech-enabled solutions for local store owners,” KiranaPro CEO Deepak Ravindran said.
Joper.app founder Sumit Gorai mentioned that the partnership would enable Joper.app’s vendors to benefit from KiranaPro’s AI tools and ONDC integration.
The platform quickly gained popularity across eight states, including Rajasthan, Jharkhand, West Bengal, and Maharashtra. However, limited funding led Gorai to depend on hired tech professionals, which created challenges in scaling up the platform’s technological infrastructure.
