 EXECUTIVE OPINION:

“Country Delight is on a mission to disrupt the decades-old Indian food essentials space. On the one hand, we have a highly unorganized sector, where quality is unreliable, and on the other hand, we have a highly organized sector, where the essence and naturalness of food are completely lost,” said Chakradhar Gade and Nitin Kaushal, Co-founders of Country Delight.

They added, “At Country Delight, we have taken a tech-driven and consumer-centric approach to solving this problem by delivering natural, fresh, and minimally processed food essentials, sourced directly from farmers present across India, and deliver to the doorstep of consumers every single day.”

“The brand’s focus on offering farm-to-doorstep daily pantry essentials that are fresh and of the highest quality has resulted in immensely positive customer feedback and strong loyalty. We have been very impressed by their product-first approach, vertically integrated business model, and ability to expand across categories,” said Rishika Chandan, Executive Managing Director at Venturi Partners.
