In an Economic Times Retail article titled "Hyperlocal start-ups - The Road Ahead", Zopper CEO Neeraj Jain quotes Venture Intelligence data on funding in Hyperlocal delivery startups:
Neeraj believes that, despite the recent challenges facing the sector - Spoonjoy, Roadrunnr, Tiny Owl, Grofers and Zomato - hyperlocal startups hold great potential. Apart from suggesting ways for these startups to make their way out, he suggest the current crisis could be an Opportunity in Disguise for the sector. Unlike regular e-commerce companies which have found themselves head to head with brick and mortar retail stores hyperlocal start-ups can work to bring in more local retailers on board to help them increase their service outreach and be part of the vibrant digital commerce ecosystem.
