Grofers, ITC and StoreSe Partners With MyGate To Ensure Essential Supplies

MyGate has collaborated with Grofers, ITC and StoreSe to restore the delivery of groceries and essentials at its more than 7000 gated communities. 

The process happens through the users of MyGate application wherein they add all the required items to the cart through a special section on the Grofers app or website and choose their MyGate society from the drop-down and place the order. Grofers is providing deliveries to societies within a time span of 2 to 3 days as opposed to their usual time of 5 to 7 days. This delay happens as these e-commerce platforms are delivering all the orders at one go. 

However, all these procedures are fulfilled ensuring social distancing and enable access to necessities in gated communities. In a little over a week, MyGate has extended these services to over 3500 MyGate communities across 7 cities.

 Abhishek Kumar, Co-founder & COO, MyGate said, “MyGate is in a unique position to facilitate the delivery of essential services to millions of people and has taken every chance available to do so. We are fortunate to have found so many organizations willing to help in these extraordinary times - and in a very short period. In the coming weeks, we will continue to forge new relations that help our communities cope with the effect of the lockdown.”

Apart from grocery delivery, the startup has also facilitated the feature of 'Leave at Gate’ for contactless deliveries, e-pass for Karanataka, e-papers on the app, online Corona consultation (through telemedicine partnerships) etc and various other facilities for its users.

Saurabh Kumar, Founder, Grofers said, “At Grofers, we understand that our customers are counting on us in this time of need. Our partnership with MyGate will smoothen the delivery process and help us serve a higher number of people across the country.”

MyGate is currently present in over 1.6 million homes across 7000+ gated communities in 17 cities. The startup has till now raised around Rs 486 crores through various funding rounds.
