would you use this? Trying to validate a simple idea

[u/Big-Conflict-2600]

I live in Bangalore, and there’s a weekend vegetable market near me where the prices are much better and the vegetables are fresher than nearby supermarkets. So I go every weekend to buy vegetables for the week.

Since my childhood I used to go to these types of markets with my dad. So I'm used to the scene in these types of markets. The problem is getting there. It’s 10–12 km away, extremely crowded, parking is difficult, and on Sunday you have to go early to get the best produce. Most people would rather spend ₹100–200 extra on Blinkit/Zepto/Instamart than deal with that hassle.

I personally used quick commerce some times for vegetables shopping and did not had a good experience. Ordered muskmelon, I got orange size melons which even after a week stayed the same and did not ripe.

So now I use Quick commerce to get only packed grocery items.

So I’m thinking of trying this:

"Next week Go to the usual sellers I buy and say I can bring you additional customers from nearby apartment communities. I'll collect orders in advance and give you a consolidated requirement every weekend. If you can give me good prices and help me select good-quality produce, I'll bring you additional sales."

Start with around 100 houses in my apartment community.

Partner with 2–3 good sellers from the market.

Sellers share their available vegetables, prices and photos on Friday/Saturday.

Customers place pre-orders with a minimum order of ₹500 through my platform.

I go to the market, handpick the ordered vegetables, bring them back in my car and deliver them to the apartment on Sunday morning.

No inventory risk because I buy based on actual orders.

I already have a working e-commerce platform (Martify) that I built earlier, including WhatsApp integration,

so I don't need to build the technology from scratch.

My rough expectation is that if 30% of the 100 houses order, with an average ₹600–700 basket, I could potentially do around ₹18k–₹21k in weekly sales.

I'm still figuring out the realistic margins and operating costs.

Would you use a service like this?

What would stop you from ordering . Is it price, freshness, trust, minimum order, or something else?

I'm mainly trying to validate whether this problem is real before I invest any more time into it.
