chotu, India’s first WhatsApp-first business platform, has officially launched owner.chotu.com — a new platform that helps local shop owners create a ready-to-use online shop in just 2 minutes, starting at only ?999 (lifetime access).

The platform provides custom shop templates designed for India’s most popular small businesses — including grocery stores, bakeries, meat shops, sweet shops, and homemade food sellers — enabling them to display products, share digital catalogs, and take orders directly via WhatsApp, without any apps, commissions, or technical skills.

“Every small shop deserves to be discovered online,” said a spokesperson from chotu. “Today’s market is dominated by large delivery apps, leaving local stores invisible. With owner.chotu.com, we give shopkeepers an easy, affordable way to go digital, connect with customers nearby, and take control of their business again.”
