A Technology Platform for Small & Cottage brands to efficiently go-to market, increase visibility among retailers, marketplaces and wholesalers. Zepto won in this category after a series of startups tried different formats. We didn't find a PMF back then and hence shelved this. However, we had 2 acquisition offers for this marketplace for the network and the technology from a large Agri NBFC and legacy family business house in Tamil Nadu. Lickitos - An inhouse Snack Bran
