JioMart Distributor vs Franchise: What’s the Difference?

JioMart offers multiple partnership models — mainly as a distributor or a franchise/retail partner. A distributor handles product movement from Reliance warehouses to retail outlets or kirana stores, while a franchise focuses on selling directly to customers. Distributors usually invest more, require warehousing space, and operate with bulk inventory. Franchisees, on the other hand, may work from a small store and focus on customer service and order fulfillment. Profits differ too — distributors earn based on volume margins, while franchisees earn from retail sales and incentives. Depending on your capital, space, and team strength, you can choose either path. Both roles are vital in JioMart’s ecosystem and offer sustainable business growth.
