In India's rapidly evolving commercial landscape, neighborhood Kirana stores represent the absolute cornerstone of hyper-local commerce. With over 12 million Kirana outlets spread across metropolitan cities, Tier-2 towns, and rural hubs, these stores possess unmatched proximity to consumers, existing customer trust, and continuous daily footfall.
TrackShip courier & logistics LLP is revolutionizing last-mile delivery by integrating full-fledged courier booking, parcel pick-up & drop-off (PUDO), e-commerce return processing, and micro-distribution capabilities directly into existing Kirana retail stores.

Proprietor, Shri Ram Kirana (Bengaluru)
"The team at TrackShip provided complete illuminated signboards and local flyer marketing. People in our colony now recognize my shop as the official courier point. My shop's reputation and daily income have grown tremendously."

Everything you need to know about starting and running a TrackShip Kirana Franchise.
The TrackShip Kirana Model Franchise is a hyper-local logistics partnership designed specifically for retail store owners, Kirana shop proprietors, and small business operators. It enables you to integrate full courier booking, parcel pick-up and drop-off (PUDO), e-commerce return collection, and last-mile delivery services directly into your existing retail shop using just 50 to 100 sq ft of space.
Not at all! The Kirana franchise model runs seamlessly alongside your existing grocery, provision, stationery, or retail business. In fact, it complements your store by bringing in new footfall every single day.
You only need 50 to 100 sq ft of space inside or adjacent to your counter. This space is used to place a small counter setup for weighing/scanning and a secure shelf for staging incoming and outgoing packages.
Average Kirana franchise partners earn between ₹35,000 to ₹65,000+ per month through a combination of high retail courier booking margins (up to 45%), per-package PUDO fees, return processing commissions, hyper-local express delivery payouts, and indirect grocery sales growth.
All earnings and commissions are logged in real-time inside your TrackShip Kirana Partner mobile app. COD amounts collected from customers are deposited into your pre-funded digital wallet, and net earnings are automatically transferred directly to your registered bank account on a daily or weekly basis.
TrackShip provides a complete starter hardware kit which includes a Bluetooth barcode scanner, a high-speed thermal label printer, a digital weighing scale, official illuminated store signboards, marketing flyers, and tamper-evident courier packaging materials.
TrackShip operates dedicated hub pickup vehicles and route riders. A designated TrackShip logistics rider visits your Kirana store twice daily (morning and evening) to scan and collect all staged outgoing parcels and drop off incoming parcels for local customer pickup.
Yes! TrackShip enforces a strict territorial protection policy, ensuring that no other TrackShip Kirana Franchise point is authorized within your immediate operating pincode radius (typically 1.5 km to 2 km depending on city density).
