The Future of Local Commerce
Kutoot is built to help local shopkeepers attract more customers and grow their daily sales.
About us
Today, many customers choose online shopping because they receive discounts, cashback, and rewards. Meanwhile, neighbourhood shops often don’t have simple tools to run such offers, even though they provide trusted service and quality products. Kutoot bridges that gap. With Kutoot, shopkeepers can easily attract nearby customers, run simple promotions, and encourage repeat visits. Customers can discover your store, pay digitally, enjoy instant savings, and collect Kutoot Stamps which allow them to participate in campaigns and win exciting prizes, giving them more reasons to come back to your shop. Kutoot helps your store stand out, increase footfall, and build loyal customers without complicated technology. Built from real conversations with shopkeepers, Kutoot is designed to support the local businesses that keep our neighbourhoods running. Our mission is simple: help local shops grow and compete in the digital world.
Vision & Mission
The future we want to create
We envision a future where neighbourhood shopping is vibrant, rewarding, and valued just as much as online shopping. A future where every local store has the opportunity to grow, be discovered, and stay at the heart of the community. Where customers feel excited to shop nearby, knowing that every purchase brings value, rewards, and meaningful experiences. Through Kutoot, we aim to strengthen the connection between communities and the shops that serve them, ensuring local businesses continue to thrive in a rapidly evolving digital world.
What Kutoot actually does every day
Our mission is to empower local shopkeepers with simple digital tools that help them attract customers, run promotions, and grow their business. Kutoot enables customers to discover nearby stores, enjoy instant discounts, and earn Kutoot Stamps on eligible purchases that unlock campaigns, rewards, and exciting prizes. By making local shopping more rewarding and accessible, we help businesses increase footfall, build loyal customers, and compete confidently in today’s digital economy.
Why Kutoot Exists
Local shops have always been the heart of our neighbourhoods. They know our names, understand our needs, and serve communities every day. Yet today, many of these stores are losing customers — not because people don’t trust them, but because online shopping has made rewards, cashback, and deals feel normal. When customers shop online, they almost always get something extra. When they shop nearby, they usually don’t. Kutoot was created to change that. Our vision is simple: make local shopping more rewarding than online — for every customer, every shop, and every street across India. With Kutoot, customers can unlock instant discounts, earn Kutoot Stamps, and participate in exciting reward campaigns. At the same time, local merchants gain simple tools to attract customers, run promotions, and bring back repeat visits. Kutoot exists to give neighbourhood stores the same growth power that large online platforms have — but built for real streets and real communities.
The People Behind Kutoot
Building Systems That Scale
Raghav began his career in banking, where he launched a new branch for Karnataka Bank and helped scale it to over ₹100 crore in its very first year. Over the years, he built strong networks across more than forty financial institutions, gaining deep insight into how businesses grow and how trust is built over time. Later in London, while serving as Assistant General Manager at Vapiano, he managed large teams and served thousands of customers every day. That experience shaped an important belief: Commerce is not just about transactions. It is about experience. People return not only for products, but for how a place makes them feel. That insight became a core idea behind Kutoot.
The Voice of the Street
Karun grew up in Udupi, where neighbourhood shops are part of everyday life and trust is built over years of relationships. His career has been deeply rooted in the real, on-the-ground economy — working in construction, local businesses, and community ventures. Through these experiences, he saw firsthand how small businesses operate and the challenges they face. He has watched loyal customers slowly shift toward delivery apps and online platforms, not because local stores lacked value, but because they lacked the digital tools to compete. Karun brings the perspective of the merchant into every decision Kutoot makes.
Two Brothers. One Simple Question.
Why does online shopping feel rewarding, while local shopping often feels forgotten? Why should a neighbourhood shop that has served a family for decades lose to an algorithm? Kutoot is their answer. Raghav brings the operational discipline to build the platform. Karun brings the ground-level understanding of how local businesses actually work. Together, they are building a platform designed to bring customers back to neighbourhood stores.
The Future of Local commerce
Local shopping does not just deserve to survive. It deserves to be the soul of every community. And with the right rewards, the right tools, and the right platform, it will.
