DALI Everyday Grocery is Southeast Asias first and fastest-growing hard discounter. Since February 2020, we have grown faster than any comparable hard discounter in history. Today, millions of Filipinos, from daily wage earners to small business owners, shop with us every day. We exist to solve a problem that has gone unaddressed for too long: Filipinos deserve quality everyday essentials at prices that reflect what things should cost. Not inflated supermarket prices built on excessive overhead. Not the inconvenience of travelling far for groceries. Not the compromises of sari-sari stores or palengkes. A better model, closer to home, simpler to shop, consistently lower in price. 550 carefully selected products covering 95% of daily household needs. Stores are embedded in the neighbourhoods where people live, work, and commute. Prices 20-30% lower than traditional grocery retail, backed by an unconditional quality guarantee. The impact extends beyond the shopping basket. We employ 8,000+ Filipinos in permanent roles with clear career pathways, from cashier to supervisor to store manager to regional leader. We open 30 new stores every month, creating 180-240 new jobs across the Philippines with each cycle. For suppliers, DALI represents a distinctive opportunity. The Philippines is one of Southeast Asias fastest-growing consumer markets, and we are its fastest-growing retail channel. Our limited assortment means every listing carries genuine volume and visibility, not lost in a catalogue of 20,000 SKUs. We seek international partners who can bring innovative, high-quality products to millions of Filipino consumers through a network growing by 30 stores each month. Backed by the Asian Development Bank, Creador, Navegar, Venturi Partners, Pavilion Capital and DEG. Headquartered in Zug, Switzerland. Operating across the Philippines.

50 years back, life was very simple. We used to have a cow in our backyard that used to give us natural and fresh milk everyday. There was never a need to worry about adulteration as the animal was our own. Today, the milk we consume is either reconstituted/recombined with milk powder, takes days/weeks post milking to reach our home and is more often than not prone to adulteration. In summary, the basic essence of milk has been lost. We are a bunch of Engineers and IIM Graduates who aim to bring back the basics of Milk. Our promise is to deliver Natural, Fresh and Unadulterated Milk directly to the doorstep of our consumers. We leverage technology to source a superior product from the farmer and to give a hassle free experience to the consumer.
