Product Requirements for Indian Quick Commerce
Quick commerce platform requirements for candy SKUs:
- Pack size — 60g and 80g are the optimal sizes for quick commerce impulse purchase price points in India (₹100–200 per pack) - Shelf-stable — candy must maintain quality across dark store temperature conditions (not refrigerated) - FSSAI labelling — clear English-language labelling with all required FSSAI fields - Barcode — standard GS1 barcode required for dark store inventory management - High visual appeal — colourful, distinctive packaging performs significantly better on quick commerce app product pages
Candora's pre-packaged European candy formats are designed to meet these requirements.
