E-grocery mobile app, Yeepeey, is looking to tap the opportunity wherein its users can shop from neighbourhood grocery stores, supermarkets & hypermarkets from the comfort of their homes or offices.
The company also aims to provide consumers with a platform that will allow them to pay the same prices and enjoy the same promotions & discounts as displayed in the store delivered within 30-45 minutes.

With a vision to create an extensive q-commerce ecosystem, the new e-grocery startup promises to change the way consumers shop, spend & save on groceries and more by subsidizing the current cost of convenience that customers have to pay while shopping.
According to Yeepey co-founder Monish Chandiramani highlighted that the company aims to provide the most pocket-friendly shopping experience to its users by listing all the local grocery stores, supermarkets and hypermarkets on the app with no extra mark-ups on prices and keeping the services charges minimum and even free in some cases.
“As per new market trends, the growth in the e-grocery sector is expected to be dependent on the frequency of orders than the number of users,” he said.
He further added that since the onset of the pandemic in 2020, consumer shopping patterns and choices have almost changed forever.
“Consumers now prefer taking precautionary measures and avoid being in crowded areas such as hypermarkets and would rather have as much possible delivered to their doorstep. However, we did observe that customers were having to pay a heavy price for the convenience and that’s the problem we’re trying to solve by subsidizing the cost of convenience without compromising on the quality.
“While the pandemic has surely plunged the world into the future of technology, yeepeey aims at increasing accessibility of products & services as apart from convenience, there is a large diaspora that cannot physically travel to stores for various reasons and need essentials delivered. Our initial vertical is groceries & essentials and over time, we would be branching out to include new verticals and cover a wider footprint across UAE which is proudly our homeground.”
Yeepeey has covered over 150 stores and activated 50 Merchants on app across 30 localities in Dubai since its official launch. Some of the popular localities in Dubai serviced by yeepeey includes Business Bay, Barsha, JLT, JBR, Dubai Silicon Oasis, Downtown Dubai, Bur Dubai, Karama, Greens, Lakes and Emirates Hills.
Yeepeey is further slated to expand its operation by including bakeries, confectionaries, flower shops, pet care and a lot more as additional offerings to create an end-to-end ecosystem for its users and public at large.
