These Nextgen outlets are based on an exclusive digital convenience store model providing access to multi line of services spread across Banking, ATM, Insurance, Financial services, e-Commerce, e-Governance and Logistics. The Nextgen Kendras boast of a modern and standardized format with a uniform look and feel in all the outlets aimed towards building consistent service levels and uniform consumer experience. Commenting on the same, Mr. Dinesh Nandwana, MD & CEO further said “This is a big milestone towards our consolidation exercise to upgrade and standardize all our existing Vakrangee kendras to the Nextgen model. We have today successfully launched these Nextgen outlets all over the country. I would take this opportunity to thank all our Vendor Partners and Service Partners who all have played a key role in this transformation and up-gradation exercise. Without their support this would have not been possible. We believe that these Nextgen outlets will enable every Indian to seamlessly benefit from financial inclusion, social inclusion, digital india, skill development, employment, government programmes and a wider access to basic goods and services.” He further added, “We have initiated the process of upgradation of the rest of the stores and we plan to upgrade these entire stores by CY2019. We are aspiring to be the most trustworthy physical as well as online convenience store across India, positively moving towards Vakrangee Kendra’s new brand philosophy of ‘AB Poori Duniya Pados Mein’.”
