No digital presence. Cash, paper records, walk-in customers.
Tier 2
Visible
UPI, WhatsApp, Google Business Profile. Reachable, hyper-local.
Tier 3
Transacting
Customers order, book, pay online. Pin-code ceiling breaks.
Tier 4

Inventory, CRM, billing, logistics — all on digital systems.
Tier 5
Digital-Only
Full customer journey online. No physical touchpoint required.
