“We want to be able to cater to many more brands and help them set up stores, and create a platform with the lowest friction. Anyone should be able to come and get a transparent construction deal,” Amit Bansal, Co-founder and CEO, 91Squarefeet, said, according to Your Story.
At 91Squarefeet, they have advanced AI Driven Technological systems to navigate the myriad of possible challenges involved in opening a retail store; a diverse network of reliable and cost-effective suppliers spread across the country, and a proven track record to save you both time and money.
“Demand for organised retail is growing, more so in Tier II and III cities. However, a majority of brands struggle to expand their offline presence and tap into this massive opportunity. High dependence on small, unreliable suppliers often create inefficiencies leading to a 20-25% higher cost of building a retail store along with several weeks of delay,” Rahul Chowdhri, Partner, Stellaris Venture Partners, said in a statement.
