As per the numbers, there is indeed a lot of potential in the market. This is a great opportunity for many business owners operating in the FMCG retail market. In fact, many entrepreneurs have also started their business dealing in daily use FMCG products.
Incepted as a small family business in 2016, Azad Ventures is a national and international trading and distribution company based in Shivamogga, Karnataka. The company primarily sources unique products from domestic and overseas markets and markets & distributes them. The management of the company has many years of field experience in importing and distributing products.
Azad Ventures first started with supplying mobile electronics. With time, it grew rapidly and now deals with various types of products, like gas safety devices, noni juice, and Dr psoriasis oil. Today, the company doesn’t have any standard product but offers different FMCG products – it offers useful products like the gas safety device. It is used in a kitchen to avoid cylinder leakage and explosion.
The company has highly professional and experienced sales and marketing operations. The company meets all the basic and unique needs of its customers.
But, like all the brands, Azad Ventures also faced several hardships during its initial years. The business offers customer-driven products and hence, it found it really challenging in reaching the end customers. To overcome this challenge, the company appointed a direct delivery team who used to visit end customers and interact with them about the products on offer.
Besides, getting a shipping partner that can deliver products to far-off locations and on time was also difficult. Azad Ventures tried different shipping channels but finding the right one was difficult.
Then, Azad Ventures came across Shiprocket through social media. Finally, it started dealing with Shiprocket and it resolved all the problems related to the products reaching the customers late. The company started with Shiprocket partially and then, started using Shiprocket Fulfillment services as well.
