This solves the problem of current small wine (bottle) shops since it concerns fundamental infrastructure changes that will transform liquor retail outlets in Delhi. For at the moment wine (bottle) shops are small, with inadequate shelf space and with little room for customers to stand and walk about. Inevitably much buying is haphazard, ill-considered due to the poor retail conditions. Instead the proposed stores will provide a full beverages experience:
At times guest Indian celebrity chefs will take classes both to discuss cuisine for its own excellence and as it is enhanced by specified liquor.
A full range of liquor products is to be available for purchase. With government approvals in place the app solves a customer access problem, for access to liquor is restricted to buying in person from wine (bottle) shops. And app purchasing is a proven lucrative commercial platform, especially among the young.

The impressive growth of the Indian wine market has been shown in recent years by a 16% per annum increase, with sales of 32 million litres in 2016. And the sector is expected to grow to one million cases per annum in the coming years (from about 420,000 nine-litre cases in 2017), recognition that wine is a status drink whose market has expanded through exposure to new cultures and through greater disposable income.

In terms of volume, India is the biggest consumer of whisky in the world— India accounted for nearly half the global whisky market by volume in 2010. Whisky accounts for nearly 60% of the Indian-made foreign liquor market.
Thirstore shall also market in other Indian states, especially through its online delivery app (subject to marketing restrictions and commercial conditions, and subject to the acquisition of government approval in each applicable state). In time, Thirstore intends to expand to Maharastra, notably to Mumbai and Pune. To the north, the union territory of Chandigarh and the neighbouring states of Punjab and Haryana may be also be included in commercial plans. To the south, the city of Bangalore forms a large wine market.
Initially Thirstore expects to market to wine (bottle) shops, restaurants, bars and the female markets. Subject to market conditions, marketing may then extend to supermarkets, hotels wine clubs and duty free shops.
The considerable expansion of the Thirstore liquor store chain is anticipated.
After five years, Thirstore expects to have secured a strong and expanding presence in the Indian market, enjoying wide Thirstore, and exclusively imported liquor, brand awareness. Thirstore shall also sell a widening range of liquor products supplied by international producers through a growing involvement in diverse market sectors.
Through that success, revenue acquired from product sales and borrowed finance will underpin commercial growth.
