Bullish on growth

 

With the fruits and vegetables industry slated to be multi-billion dollar industry in the coming decade, FreshFalSabzi is gearing up for growth by creating demand channels on the one side and improving upon the supply side while ensuring better quality. The company is building and bringing world-class cultivation technology to India to efficiently produce nutrients-rich, zero pesticides produce. 
 

FFS currently delivers in North Delhi, West Delhi and some parts of South Delhi households via its own team of bikers and vans. Soon, the company plans to spread to entire Delhi NCR. 
 

This journey will be escalated in three stages. From providing cleanest FFS, to farm picked fresh produce, to nutrients rich certified FFS from company controlled franchised farms. With each stage there will be reduction in cost of procurement, increase in variety, improvement in quality, a better living for farmers, a far bigger reach out to consumers, and all this will be done via combinations of agri-tech, IoT (internet of things), SaaS and mobile tech. All the IT and agri-tech will be designed and applied to ensure modular and replicable growth.
 

After reaching the 2nd and 3rd stages in backend procurement/ production, the company plans to go pan-India with IoTified deliveries to consumers and businesses. On the demand side the company is developing easiest ordering interfaces (phone, web, apps, kiosks at pickup points) for consumers and expanding operations using IOTified logistics and quality ensuring delivery mechanisms. 
 

FFS also aspires to involve farmers, land owners, business owners and delivery logistics in this revolution called “FreshFalSabzi” for India.
