Everyone likes to munch a few snacks in the evening along with tea.Home made snacks still have preference, though the trend is slowly changing.When it comes to occasions, sweets are a must. I guess no other countryconsumes sweets like India and no wonder we are one of largest consumers ofsugar. Apparently, we are also a nation of large diabetes population. Could itbe anything other than direct correlation?We love Rotis and everyone likes to make them fresh at home. Eatingthem out once in a while is becoming a norm, at least in cities. Not sure whenthe 'Italian Rotis' (Pizzas) have come into existence in India, they certainlyhave become popular. First there were dining outlets, then came only deliveryoutlets and now they can be ordered online. Isn't this evolution very naturalfor pizza companies? But I wonder what makes the Indian Rotis not consumablelike the Italian ones - just like snacks? Or perhaps, we made the Italian Rotia snack :-)
Dominos (Jubiliant Foods) and Pizza Hut are dominant players in India fromsize and coverage perspective. They do have online presence and one can ordertheir favorite pizzas from their website over Internet. With half thepopulation in India being youth and smartphones becoming omnipresent, it is butlogical to extend the service to hand-held devices.
Buying sweets on the street corner is not unusual in any part ofIndia. Unlike in advanced countries, sweets are not just chocolates in India -there are mysore-pak, jhangri, kaju roll and hundreds of varieties more.Vendors got established and created brands from their products. They alsoexpanded to multiple locations across the country and made more people happyduring occasions. Employing a cook and getting the sweets prepared at home foroccasions is slowly dwindling. 'Outsourcing' is happening at all the householdsas well.
I know folks who ordered birthday and anniversary cakes online fortheir family members, when they were travelling. Sweet Chariot is one popular cake shoponline for such occasions.
Some of the online sweet vendors in India I encountered whilesurfing are Anand Sweets, Almond House, Madhulika, Mitha4Alland Oder Your Choice.
One interesting aspect to note is that the original sweet / snackvendors do not seem to sell their products directly online. There is a 3rdparty who is selling for them online. This is the case for Sri Krishna Sweets, K C Das Ghantewalaor Haldirams.
If you have sweet tooth or like to gift sweets to your loved ones,you might not need to visit a physical shop in the future.
I guess there is a lot of scope for innovation and development inthis space. Fresheness, quality and quick delivery are the key ! Any takers?
