India's grocery shopping industry is undergoing a significant transformation, mirroring shifting consumer preferences towards convenience without compromising on product quality. However, this evolving landscape presents distinctive challenges; from maintaining product freshness to ensuring lastmile delivery and fostering consumer trust. Despite these obstacles, the online grocery sector has paved the way for thriving startups like Froovella, an innovative online fruit-shopping platform. Co-founded by Jayan Lohani and Shrey, the platform benefits from the vision of its young founders and the collective 26+ years of experience of its sister entity DJ Exports in the fruit supply chain, lending the brand a solid foundation of ambition, credibility, and expertise.
