“Currently our customer segment (retailers) are either going themselves to ‘mandis’ (fresh produce marketplaces active from 4:00 am to 1:00 pm generally) or hiring personnel to do the job. With fragmented supply, its difficult to get best quality, best prices or find a particular variety in the market,” says Tarun.
“What our platform is trying to achieve is to give them all the relevant information of the produce available in the market on their Smartphones using which they can buy and get the freshest of items delivered to their doorstep, saving time and money in the process. Due to lack of appropriate marketing/sales channels, sellers of perishable products also face problem of unsold stock which leads to wastage and losses.”
