It is estimated that there are around 10 million street vendors in India. Women street vendors dressed up in colorful Sarees (traditional Indian clothing) bring vegetables and other affordable goods from villages and sell them in the cities. They provide consumers with convenient and accessible retail options.
Street vending as an occupation has existed for hundreds of years and is considered a foundation of many cities' historical and cultural heritage.
