The Madurai office is multi-floor with about 15,000sq feet where about 150+ employees can work.

I believe theirs will be the first step for many more companies to follow"
“For all the problems the pandemic has caused, it has also presented us with new opportunities to go rural and grow more rural. Apart from the enormous amount of talent in tier 2 market, we also witnessed small towns having a large share of aspirational businessmen who long for our hand-holding and digital support,” said Mr. Kumar Vembu, CEO and Founder, GOFRUGAL.
He further added, “After carefully studying the market opportunity, challenges and business growth strategies, we at GOFRUGAL wish to launch full-fledged development offices in smaller cities of the country. Our mission is to empower all MSME business in tier2 tier3 with right tech and tools so that they stay ahead of competition and enable them to compete against big players. This is one of the predominant reasons for us to shift our growth to these markets. We believe the tier 2 cities are finally ready to be the tech-hotspot and we consider this as our small contribution towards nation-building by spotting hidden talents and tapping untouched human resources!”
While Indian businesses in emerging tier 2 cities were not fully utilizing the power of technology due to lack of awareness and need for better infrastructure, Covid-19 pandemic has pushed small businesses, traders, retailers from tier 2 and tier 3 cities to go digital and meet the needs of changing consumer’s behavior. From selling products online to sending 'digital copy of invoices to consumer’s phones, business owners can greatly use tech and obtain their objective via contactless business process.
Moreover, Covid- 19 brought in change in the working style of corporates; it seeded the thought of taking work closer to staff’s hometowns. In the quest for talent and new sources of profitable growth, GOFRUGAL is increasingly shifting the focus towards lesser-known but emerging tier 2 markets like Madurai and Thane.
