1K Kirana Bazaar

description: '1K Kirana Bazaar (legal entity Odicea Distribution Technologies Private Limited, also trading as 1K Networks)
  is a Gurugram, Haryana based Indian kirana-tech company founded in 2018 by Kumar Sangeetesh, Sachin Sharma and Abhishek
  Halder. It franchised neighbourhood grocery stores across Delhi NCR, Haryana, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh and gave them
  an operating stack — a point-of-sale and inventory system, direct FMCG sourcing through its own B2B distribution network,
  store-level analytics, payments, the Farm Gold private label, the OneClub loyalty programme, and a consumer ordering app
  that turned the store into a local fulfilment point. At its peak the company reported around 1,000 partner stores, more
  than a million customers and coverage of 25-plus districts, and it raised roughly $36-44 million across seed, Series A ($7M,
  2021), Series B ($25M, 2022) and a 2023 bridge round from Info Edge Ventures, Falcon Edge Capital, Alpha Wave Global and
  Quiet Capital. Operations all but stopped in May 2024 amid a funding shortfall and reported bankruptcy and distress-sale
  discussions, after headcount fell from over 1,000 to roughly 30. The company never operated a public developer program:
  there is no developer portal, API reference, OpenAPI or other machine-readable specification, SDK, package or webhook catalogue
  on any domain it controls, and the API hosts it once ran internally (api., api-gateway., vendor-api., wms-*-api., go-api-staging.1knetworks.com)
  are all NXDOMAIN today. The company''s own surviving web presence is the single-page marketing site at www.1knetworks.in,
  whose WHOIS registrant organization is Odicea Distribution Technologies Private Limited.'

x-image-note: No image pointer is emitted. The live site publishes no og:image, no twitter:image and no favicon — /favicon.svg,
  /favicon.ico and /favicon.png all return the site's 30,685-byte HTML shell rather than an image — so there is no first-party
  logo asset to reference and none is invented.

x-status: distressed
x-status-note: Inc42 reported in 2024 that 1K Kirana had all but shut shop in May 2024, was facing possible bankruptcy and
  a distress sale, and was down to roughly 30 employees from over 1,000 in August 2023, with its website non-functional and
  its Android and iOS consumer apps unusable. A single-page marketing site is live again at www.1knetworks.in and carries
  a 2026 copyright line, but no operating or funding event after the 2023 bridge round has been found, so the company is recorded
  as distressed rather than either operating normally or formally defunct.
x-api-posture: no-product-api
x-api-posture-basis: observed
x-api-posture-note: 'Nothing in this company''s public surface is a developer product. The live site (www.1knetworks.in) is
  a one-page Astro build whose entire navigation is in-page anchors (#home, #platform, #cta) — there is no /developers, /docs,
  /api or /pricing page to reach — and the words API, SDK, webhook and developer do not appear anywhere in its rendered text.
  The Wayback Machine holds 329 distinct URLs for 1knetworks.com covering its whole operating history; the only API-shaped
  entries are internal service hosts (api., api-gateway., api-gateway-staging., bulky-api., go-api-staging., gweb1k-apis.,
  stageapi., vendor-api., webv0-api-uat., wms-staging-api.1knetworks.com) plus third-party crawler probes of /.well-known/*,
  and every one of those hosts is NXDOMAIN as of this probe. Products were retailer and consumer mobile apps (Android package
  com.niyotail.consumer) and an in-store PoS, not an API.'
x-domains:
- domain: 1knetworks.in
  status: live
  role: current marketing site
  registrant_organization: Odicea Distribution Technologies Private Limited
  registrar: GoDaddy
  created: '2024-06-09'
  note: Ownership confirmed from WHOIS (Registrant Organization "Odicea Distribution Technologies Private Limited", Haryana,
    IN) and from the site footer, which reads "© 2026 Odicea Distribution Technologies Pvt. Ltd. · Gurugram, Haryana, India".
    Fronted by Cloudflare; the apex answers a managed bot challenge (403) but subpaths serve real HTML to a browser User-Agent,
    so the site is live, not dead. Both contact addresses on the page are Cloudflare-obfuscated placeholders in the reserved
    .example TLD (team@1knetworks.example, hello@1knetworks.example), which is recorded here as observed fact rather than
    interpreted.
- domain: 1knetworks.com
  status: unreachable
  role: former primary site (2019-2024)
  registrant_organization: Domains By Proxy, LLC (privacy service)
  registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC
  created: '2025-03-29'
  note: The domain the company operated while trading. It now returns HTTP 525 (Cloudflare origin SSL handshake failed) on
    every path including the apex, was re-registered 2025-03-29 — after the company's May 2024 collapse — and its WHOIS is
    behind a privacy proxy, so present-day control cannot be attributed to Odicea. It is deliberately NOT wired as a Website
    pointer and nothing is derived from it.
x-venue-listings:
- venue: EquityZen
  url: https://equityzen.com/company/1kkiranabazaar
  status: 200
  note: Secondary-market share listing; the source of this harvest entry. Recorded here rather than as a common[] Website
    pointer — a trading-venue listing is a third party's page about the company, not the company's own web presence (roadmap#56).
x-github-org-note: A GitHub search returns the org 1KNetworks (created 2026-07-21, zero public repos, empty profile with no
  company, blog or location) and the unrelated accounts KiranaBazaar and kiranabazaar7. None can be attributed to Odicea Distribution
  Technologies and no GitHubOrganization pointer is emitted.

x-pointer-liveness:
  checked: '2026-09-05'
  note: 'Every pointer in this record was fetched at enrichment time. The single Website pointer (https://www.1knetworks.in/)
    answers a Cloudflare managed bot challenge (HTTP 403) at the apex, but the same host serves the real 30,685-byte marketing
    page to a browser User-Agent on any subpath, so the page demonstrably exists and the pointer is LIVE, not dead — an edge
    bot policy is explicitly not a liveness failure. No dead pointer was left in place: the previous Website pointer to https://equityzen.com/company/1kkiranabazaar
    was removed because a secondary-market trading-venue listing is a third party''s page about the company, not the company''s
    own web presence; it is preserved under x-venue-listings.'
x-coverage:
  state: none
  reason: no-developer-program
  detail: '1K Kirana Bazaar sells a franchise operating system to kirana store owners as an end-user product — a PoS, a retailer
    app and a consumer ordering app — and has never run a developer program: its only live site, www.1knetworks.in, is a one-page
    Astro build whose whole navigation is in-page anchors (#home, #platform, #cta) with no /developers, /docs or /api page
    to reach and no occurrence of the words API, SDK, webhook or developer in its rendered text, while the former primary
    domain www.1knetworks.com returns HTTP 525 on every path and each of the eleven API hosts the Wayback Machine records
    for it (api., api-gateway., vendor-api., wms-staging-api., go-api-staging.1knetworks.com and siblings) is NXDOMAIN today.'
