At Nearbymart Hypermarket, we believe that everyday shopping should combine the convenience of your neighborhood store with the standards of world-class retail. Since opening our first outlet, Nearbymart has transformed the shopping experience for communities by offering branded, quality-first products, all within reach and at affordable prices.
The idea was born from the global retail insights of our founders Mr. Unnikrishnan Sasidharan, Mr. Viswanath Hariharan, and Mr. Sunilkumar. Nearbymart blends global standards with a local heart. We prioritize customer convenience, product accessibility, and a strict quality-first product policy - offering only national brands, Kerala’s top performers, and select imported products. Substandard goods? Never on our shelves.
With seven thriving outlets and a vision to grow to 25 stores, we remain focused on providing a premium, trustworthy shopping experience to every household, every day.
Only trusted, branded products for our customers
Stores designed for easy, stress-free shopping
Growing the local economy and enhancing everyday life
To deliver affordable, world-class shopping experiences to every neighborhood in Central Travancore, making high-quality products accessible while upholding convenience, consistency, and integrity.
"Despite a fulfilling corporate career, I always believed Kerala's retail landscape was ready for transformation. In 2018, I returned to my home state, joining forces with my visionary partners, Mr. Viswanath Hariharan and Mr. Sunilkumar, to bring a globally inspired, professionally managed retail format to our communities.
We founded Nearbymart to fill the gaps we experienced ourselves— inconsistent service, limited quality control, and a lack of true convenience in existing retail options. Our vision was clear: to combine global best practices with the warmth and accessibility of a local store.
Today, with seven Nearbymart outlets serving families across Kottayam and many more in the pipeline, I am proud of how our brand has evolved. We strictly maintain our promise to offer only branded, quality products while keeping prices accessible. Our team members are not just employees— they are empowered partners, committed to creating welcoming, consistent experiences for our customers.
We are not just building stores—we are building trust, empowering communities, and redefining retail for semi-urban Kerala. Nearbymart is more than a brand; it is a commitment to better living, right nearby.
