Top 50 Newsmakers of India - 2019

A YourStory list of startups that made the news this year for all the right reasons.

In May this year, Supermarket Grocery, which operates Bigbasket, received $150 million in funding led by South Korea’s Mirae Asset- Naver Asia Growth Fund, UK’s CDC Group, and existing investor Alibaba. The company’s valuation surpassed $1 billion, making it India’s first online grocery startup to enter the coveted unicorn club. Despite intensified competition, Bigbasket enjoys the first-mover advantage and has managed to ward off competition from Amazon with its multiple grocery delivery models and stayed ahead of Grofers, which is funded by the likes of Tiger Global and SoftBank. In 2019, Bigbasket continued to focus on three new businesses: BB Daily, BB Instant, and BB Beauty Store. It upped sales with BB Star, a membership programme for customers. Bigbasket’s private label business also grew, driven by lower prices and higher margins. About 35 percent of its revenue comes from private labels. On the B2B side, the startup served its private label to more than 1,000 kiranas, corporates, and HoReCa (hotels, restaurants, cafes). The startup claims to have generated Rs 3,200 crore in revenue in FY19.
