Local Market Offers

LMO (Local Market Offers) is a brand that was founded with a mission to support local shops and businesses in India. The brand was founded in January 2020 by three co-founders, Lakshmi Prabhala, Priyanka Jain, and Pragathi Attluri, who shared a common vision of creating a platform that would connect local merchants with customers in a more efficient way.

How was LMO created?

The idea for LMO was born when Lakshmi was traveling to Nagpur and had to book hotels, flights, and cabs from multiple apps. This made her realize the need for a single platform where customers could access all their local shopping needs in one place. Lakshmi shared her idea with her friends and co-founders, and together they started working on LMO.

What is LMO?

LMO is a brand created to help local businesses. LMO operates through two apps - one for merchants and one for customers.

The brand's tagline, "By Local, Support Local," reflects its core philosophy of supporting local merchants and businesses. Unlike other food delivery apps like Zomato and Swiggy, LMO doesn't support franchises and focuses on supporting local shops, including kirana shops and other small businesses.

For Merchants -

Merchants can log in to the app at any time and update their offers, unlike Zomato and Swiggy, which force businesses to have offers at a particular time. This flexibility allows merchants to take breaks whenever they need to and update the app once their store is open.

LMO's guidelines for merchants are also easier to follow than those of other food delivery apps. Merchants aren't forced to pay extra taxes, and the process is straightforward and uncomplicated. This makes it easier for small businesses to join the platform and reach a wider audience.

For customers -

LMO offers an easy ordering process, with 16+ categories to choose from. Customers can order from multiple shops simultaneously, unlike other food delivery apps, which only allow customers to order from one shop at a time. The app provides a clear picture of the product and the shop, ensuring that customers get a genuine shopping experience.

Where is LMO based?

LMO started by focusing on Vijayawada, a city in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. The team wanted to perfect the model in one city before expanding to other locations. However, they have plans to expand across India and help more local businesses grow.

LMO Business model -

LMO's revenue comes from the apps and subscriptions from customers, which costs INR 49. The brand sells products at the same price as local merchants, without adding unnecessary taxes or charges.

LMO Unique Features -

One of the unique features of LMO is its implementation of ONDC (Open Network for Digital Commerce) way before it was implemented by the Indian government. ONDC is a platform that enables small merchants to do business with larger e-commerce platforms.

LMO’s Values -

The brand's persona is focused on quality and realness. They provide a clear picture of the product and the shop, which sets them apart from other apps that use web images. LMO's commitment to supporting local businesses and promoting a genuine shopping experience has won them many loyal customers.

The brand's success is a joint effort of the entire team, most of whom are women-oriented. The management team is 100%, women, reflecting the brand's commitment to promoting gender diversity and inclusivity.
