About NammaPe
Built for Bharat's neighbourhood economy.
We believe the kirana store, the local salon, and the neighbourhood dhaba are the backbone of India's economy. NammaPe exists to give them the tools to thrive in a digital world — without the complexity.
Our mission
To empower every neighbourhood business in India with the technology, loyalty tools, and customer insights that were previously only available to large retail chains — and to reward customers for choosing local.
Our story
NammaPe was born out of a simple observation: India's 63 million small businesses were being left behind by digital payments and loyalty platforms designed for large enterprises.
Our founders — who grew up shopping at neighbourhood stores — set out to build a platform that speaks the language of the local merchant: simple, affordable, and built for the way Indian businesses actually work.
Today, NammaPe serves merchants across 50+ cities, processing crores of rupees in transactions every month and helping millions of customers earn rewards at the shops they love.
What we stand for
Local First
Every decision we make starts with the question: does this help the neighbourhood merchant?
Radical Simplicity
If a shop owner can't use it in 2 minutes, we haven't done our job. Simplicity is a feature, not a compromise.
Trust & Transparency
No hidden fees, no fine print. We earn trust by being honest about what we offer and what we charge.
Community Impact
When local businesses thrive, entire communities benefit. We measure success by the health of the neighbourhoods we serve.
