About Us – Marcat

Marcat is not just a supermarket — it’s a movement to modernize retail in Bharat. We are building a new-age franchise-first grocery ecosystem, designed to empower local entrepreneurs, bring structure to fragmented markets, and offer customers a dependable, value-driven shopping experience.

Our Vision: To be the most trusted neighborhood grocery brand across India’s heartland — enabling kiranas and small retailers to thrive in the modern era.

Our Mission: To simplify retail by giving store owners the tools, training, and systems needed to run profitable, organized, and customer-loved stores. We’re not here to compete with the giants — we’re here to build a better alternative.

• 📦 Purchase & Inventory Management
• Ensure optimal stock levels and avoid both overstock and stockouts
• Maintain expiry tracking, category-wise rotation, and shelf availability
• Negotiate the best prices, margins, and payment terms with suppliers

• 🏢 B2B Channel Establishment
• Tap into institutional buyers: cafes, offices, hostels, and small businesses
• Build recurring revenue through bulk orders and subscription-like models
• Track and optimize B2B profitability and fulfillment

• 🧠 In-Store & Out-of-Store Marketing
• Run monthly in-store campaigns, festivals, and seasonal promotions

Who We’re Looking For:

• A natural leader with entrepreneurial spirit
• Strong with numbers, vendor negotiation, and local market dynamics
• Comfortable with both on-ground execution and operational thinking
• Humble, hungry, and hands-on — you’ll be managing but also doing
• Prior retail, FMCG, or store experience preferred but not mandatory if you’re the right warrior

This Role Is Not For You If:

• You prefer strategy over action
• You wait for instructions instead of taking charge
• You like sitting behind the desk
• You’re uncomfortable in a fast, scrappy, high-pressure environment
