Brief

Problem
Agent negotiation benchmarks rarely reflect informal economies, where credit is extended on trust, supply is irregular and trade happens across languages.
Approach
KiranaChain models India's kirana-store economy as a multi-agent negotiation environment covering informal credit, supply-chain dynamics and multilingual commerce.
Contribution
An openly released benchmark on Hugging Face (DOI 10.57967/hf/9015) for evaluating negotiating agents in a setting that matters to 12–14 million stores.

Write-up

Why kirana stores

India's 12–14 million kirana stores run on relationships: credit extended informally, stock that arrives irregularly, and conversations that move between languages. These are exactly the conditions under which negotiating agents should be tested.

What the benchmark models

  • Informal credit between stores and customers
  • Supply-chain dynamics between stores and suppliers
  • Multilingual commerce across the languages trade actually happens in
