About Desi Req
Your voice shapes what local shelves carry next.
Desi Req is a community-driven platform that turns scattered shopper DRs into a clear demand signal for local stores. When enough people in a zipcode subscribe to a product, store owners and distributors can see exactly what their community wants — and stock it.
The problem
You walk into a local grocery store and cannot find the spice, snack, or brand you grew up with. You ask the manager — they nod but nothing changes. One voice is easy to miss; dozens of voices in the same zipcode are hard to ignore.
The solution
Desi Req collects every product DR in one place, groups them by zipcode, and surfaces the most-subscribed ones first. Store owners get real data about what their neighbors actually want to buy — no guesswork required.
How it works
- Post a DR — Name the product you want, pick a category, and enter your zipcode. No account needed.
- Subscribe to existing DRs — See something someone else already posted? Subscribe to show demand. One subscription per person keeps things fair.
- Get notified — Subscribe with your email on any DR and hear first when the product lands on a nearby shelf.
- Duplicate merging — Similar or identical DRs are automatically merged so the community signal stays strong.

Every subscription is proof of demand. The more people who join in, the faster local stores respond.
