According to that article, you take care of sorting & processing of the produce. Doesn't it take a lot of investment to start something like that? Seems you would need a big hygienic facility for this. And the logistics of moving the produce from remote villages to your facility and then from there to the buyer..doesn't that take a fleet of trucks? And finally, how exactly are you different from the existing middlemen? I don't quite get the advantage of a custom built platform when you still have to act as the middleman between the seller and the buyer. In the most extreme case, couldn't you just do it through Whatsapp?

Thanks for the questions. We have designed our own cost effective mechanisms to handle the costs that you mentioned. We are a facilitator, not a middleman.
