CEO & Founder

The e-Commerce space is being faced to cover thick-layers of habits of traditional-shopping by the new layer of the next-gen business model. As people hear new things, patterns, and styles, it is appreciated. But, somewhere down the line, they feel reluctant to adopt because they are comfortable doing it the old ways. Particularly, the Sabzi people, who succumb to the traditional method – touch/feel. One company that is breaking the habit and providing untouched hygiene, on-time, rapid delivery, and ease of shopping experience to its customer at their doorsteps is Subzilana, Nagpur-based online fruit, and vegetable delivery start-up incubated at Lemon Ideas.

“When we put the reality of unethical practices, unsanitary conditions of care on the eatables by traditional vendors before the people, they first hear us, hear from others, test us, then start searching for evidence to counter us, and then shop on our platform. Therefore, we keep the 24 carat purity of products, services, and commitments,” mentions Rajesh Pugalia, Founder & CEO, Sabzilana.
From Small to Big – Finding Purpose, Productivity and Priority
A successful business owner in Iron and steel market, Rajesh Pugalia had worked in the traditional work-environment and found it pretty monotonous. His desire to work with the young-minds, solving the heating issues of the society and bringing cultural shift by providing business opportunities to the youngsters led to the start of Sabzilana.
