🚀 2023 marked a pivotal year for Apnaklub and me, witnessing substantial growth in gross margins (~2x) and toplines (700 CR+ ARR), resulting in operational break-even this December. Our strategic approach, which always emphasized low capex and operational excellence, eliminated the need for trade-offs between growth and sustainability.

Further, 2023 was about the joy of new learnings. We leveraged our deep understanding of non-metro geographies' consumer demands, pricing strategies, and distribution challenges to successfully launch our own brands in food and cleaning. These brands swiftly established themselves (10k+ retail store presence) without relying on traditional crutches like credit or leaky ATL branding expenditures. Excitingly, we are set to announce partnerships under our new offline expansion product with consumer brands shaping the future of Bharat's consumption, spanning confectionery, snacking, and personal care.

Amidst this excitement for the future, I'm also delighted to share a personal milestone. My spouse (Azeez Gupta) and I are expecting a child. In the coming weeks, I'll delve into the experience of being a pregnant CEO. It's been heartening for us to witness many founders, men and women, gracefully navigate parenthood. For me, this period has been remarkably productive, energizing, and trustful. My heartfelt thanks goes to our board (Anshu Prasher Rajan Anandan Ashish Fafadia Sameer Nath Harsh Gupta Deep Verma), investors and the incredible Apnaklub team (especially my cofounders Manish Kumar, Ashutosh Kumar, Gourav Das) for their unwavering support. They were amongst the first outside of my family to know about my pregnancy, displaying fantastic support, checking in on both my health and our plans for 2024 without doubting my ability to fulfill both roles.

Here's to a 2024 filled with learning, growth, and the joy of new beginnings!

As ApnaKlub celebrates its third Diwali, we are grateful to everyone who has been with us on this memorable journey  and believes in our vision and power to bring in change. 

We have hit several highs this month. This has been possible only because of the support of our retailer partners who motivate us everyday with their unending ambition and passion for their business that drives them to put their  customers’ needs above their  own. This Diwali we salute them for always being  there, sacrificing time with their own families to ensure their customers & their families are always provided for even at the most difficult of times like covid or the most busy for family times like festivals. 

On the auspicious occasion of Diwali, we  would like to thank each and every one of our retailer partners for always keeping the shutter open with a smile.

It is a proud moment as our Co-Founder and CEO, Shruti Shruti, presented ApnaKlub’s Case Study at the prestigious Google I/O Connect Developers Event 2023 held for the first time in India (Bangalore). To be a part of the exclusive group was an honour. 
Google has recognized ApnaKlub’s role in driving world class digital experience and growth in Bharat. We at ApnaKlub have always believed in the power of small retailers and businesses and the fact that SMEs are the backbone of Indian economy. A strong growth in SMEs is important for sustenance of the Indian economy. India is Bharat and Bharat is India. This purpose has guided our teams to build world-class solutions, frugally, leveraging technology to help deliver seamless business value to our partner retailers.
 
4 different apps for a wide array of users with just 12 developers, 10X user growth over LY while still maintaining 99.9% Crash Free Users and 1 second app startup time are all metrices that we take pride in. But data is nothing if not the experiences of real people who partner with us every day and believe in us, and hence we dedicate this recognition by Google to our retail partners in Real India.
