Our Vision: We are building an asset-light modern retail network of tech-enabled mid-sized grocery stores under the brand “GULLYMART”. We partner with unbranded mid-sized stand-alone stores that wish to become part of a modern retail chain to improve their income and automate their end-to-end operations. We provide the store with an end-to-end tech-enabled solution consisting of exclusive supply, automatic and data-driven stock replenishment, increased sales, higher margin, superior fulfillment rates and access to credit. Our Story: Gully Network was founded by Ajay Nain and Prateek Chaturvedi, alumni of IIT Madras and IIM Ahmedabad. Both the founders had earlier worked in the FMCG & Pharma distribution space. They realized that stand-alone stores can never access the integrated retail-technology and higher margin of Modern Trade retail chains. Hence they took a comprehensive approach to solve their pain points in totality by making them part of a fully tech-enabled Modern retail chain. We are backed by Orios Venture Partners, Venture Catalysts, Inflection Point Ventures. We are also recognized by Flipkart under their first cohort. We have raised a total of $2M.

Sprink is your go to place when you need your daily bite. We truly believe that you shouldnt be forced to cook unless you really love to. By making daily meal affordable, hygienic and easily accessible to you at your doorstep, Sprink envisions to free you from the daily chores of cooking and give back 4 hours daily in your life so that you can spend time on things you love to do. We are honest behind the scenes so that our food comes out healthy and honest for you. #Honesty in Quality Everything on our menu are made from all natural, high quality ingredients along with un-skippable checks done by the quality team which is responsible for a whole host of tasty, homely meals. #Honestly Affordable With us, the key to affordability isnt compromising on the ingredients or services but working smartly behind the scenes. In the kitchen, the food produce and ingredients is sourced directly from the producers. The meals are produced in bulk ratio instead being on demand, which is delivered to our customers with the help of tech driven logistics. All of this, gives us the benefits of saving cost; and enabling us to avail the meals for our customers at an affordable price. #Honestly Hygienic Owing to being the hygiene extremists that we are, our focus lies upon maintaining WHO regulations & adding extra layers of ultra hygiene protocols that are followed through in Staff Fitness, Kitchen & Food Sanitization, Food Quality & Packaging Checks, Dispatch & Delivery. #Honest to our customers Food health & hygiene should not be a mystery. Therefore, our Live kitchen feature (coming soon) lets anyone with an active subscription browse through real-time feed of their order, including nutrition-values, food lifecycle stages - time at which food has been cooked, packed and ready for delivery. In addition, also showing the staffs and food handlers health history. So no matter where you need the daily meal - home, office, college or hospital, just reach out to us
