Like you said they aren't wealthy. So wouldn't changing that make a difference?

Additionally one can order food delivery online to supply groceries as there are many apps that let you do that.

True of course, but what can be bought or done that will help and is accessible in Mumbai that is not obvious to a local?

I think as its common in UX design, first thing is to ask the user "what" they want. Then you could think of the "how" part: how that goal can be achieved in a way that might not be obvious to a local.

The locals would know more about "what" can be done. Good luck.

This suggestion is the ideal one. The locals would know better.
