\u201cPoshn is using technology<\/a> to simplify and organize the fragmented food value chain in India. Both buyers and suppliers are adopting Poshn’s platform for convenient access to quality products at competitive prices. We are excited to partner with Shashank and Bhuvnesh,\u201d said Mukul Gulati, managing partner, Zephyr Peacock India.Poshn has built solutions to make the supply chain efficient for user onboarding, document collection and verification, and ledger matching. In the next phase, the company will integrate forward and backward in the food value chain to unlock further efficiencies via capacity planning, utilisations, and reaching directly to retailers.<\/p>\n

The food supply chain market is over $800 billion and is highly fragmented on the supply side. The chain experiences inefficiencies due to a slew of intermediaries or middlemen, poor capacity planning, a lack of predictable demand, and a lack of technology. Poshn is working on bridging these gaps with technology.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
