    Based on our research, we could find a need gap for the new age digital customers who still prefer offline purchases when it comes to buying fresh food products. To cater to these customers, we devised a hyperlocal fruits & vegetables delivery platform where customers can place orders for the above said items & a delivery truck will reach their location in a scheduled time slot. This truck will cater to all the orders in that building or residential establishments unlike individual delivery agents sent by existing platforms like bigbasket or grofers. We will be procuring directly from farmers in order to eliminate the middlemen & cost hikes due to their existence. This will facilitate the good old “Touch & Feel” based purchase of the fresh food items.
