More About Online Grocery Stores and Shopping
An online grocery store is a grocery store that
allows private individuals and businesses to purchase groceries and grocery
products online. They follow today’s emerging concept of moving the grocery
store into the home, proving that no sector of the retail market can stay
untouched by the online shopping phenomenon. It is now possible for the humble
and even unknown grocery store to become digitized and available on your
smartphone, tablet or computer.
As of today, December 6,
2012, the Indian Government has permitted 100 percent Foreign Direct Investment
(FDI) in this sector, i.e., Multibrand Retail, to the chagrin of many but to
the smiles of more. In the contest in the Lower House of Parliament, the Lok
Sabha, over the desirability of allowing FDI in multibrand retail, the Govt
bagged 253 out of 471 votes. The Bill is yet to be passed in the Upper House of
Parliament, the Rajya Sabha.
Rakesh Kapoor, the CEO of Reckitt
Benckisser is betting big on demand from emerging markets to power ahead. According
to him, “Our products do not necessarily correlate with day to day changes in
GDP. They are more correlated with consumer demands and we are lucky to have a
portfolio of brands where we have a huge majority with scope of further expansion.
The better known brands are Harpic, Mortein and Dettol. We have been in India
for 80 years-we are rather young in China.”
Unilever India also stands to
benefit. Lifebuoy is one of Unilever's oldest brands, a brand that was truly
'global' before the term 'global brand' was invented. Lifebuoy Royal
Disinfectant Soap was originally launched in 1894 as an affordable new product
in the UK. Soon after launch, Lifebuoy soap traveled across the world, reaching
consumers in the Middle East in their quest for better hygiene. Now Lifebuoyliquid soaps are seen stacked in supermarkets.
Online grocery stores in Mumbai are
quoted first as the process began there and was a roaring hit. With both
parents working in commuter-nightmare Metros, this was the only way to go. All
cities and even town are into online shopping, including groceries in many
cases.
Yogurt or Curd (Dahi) is a dairy
product produced by bacterial fermentation of milk. The bacteria used to make
yogurt are known as "yogurt cultures". Fermentation of lactose by
these bacteria produces lactic acid, which acts on milk protein to give yogurt
its texture and its characteristic tang. Worldwide, cow's milk, the protein of
which mainly comprises casein, is most commonly used to make yogurt, but milk
from water buffalo, goats, ewes, mares, camels, and yaks is also used in
various parts of the world.
Buttermilk or Chhaas refers to a
number of dairy drinks. Originally, buttermilk was the liquid left behind after
churning butter out of cream. This type of buttermilk is known as traditional
buttermilk. The term also refers to a range of fermented milk drinks, common in
warm climates (e.g., Middle East, Pakistan, India, and the Southern United
States) where unrefrigerated fresh milk otherwise sours quickly, as well as in
colder climates such as Germany, Poland, Scandinavia and the Netherlands. This
fermented dairy product known as cultured buttermilk is produced from cow's
milk and has a characteristically sour taste caused by lactic acid bacteria. One
of the more popular brands is Nestle’s curds & butter milk.
