ANSIO MARKETPLACE LAUNCHES THEIR AUTHENTIC SHOPPING APP ANSIO.IN

With an aim to offer best quality products to the customers at affordable price, Ansio Marketplace Pvt. Ltd today announced the launch of their Authentic Shopping App ansio.in. The app was launched by chief guest Mr. V. Shankar, Founder of Computer Age Management Services Pvt. Ltd, and guest of honour, renowned actress & social activist, Ms.Kasthuri. Also present were Mr. R. Jaganathan, Founder, Nallakeerai, members of TiE Chennai, Angel Investor, farmers and members of the hub.

Ansio.in enables the customers to shop for grocery, fruits, vegetables, home appliances and stationery from the comfort of their homes.

With integrated cold-storage vehicles Ansio.in ensure freshness of the produce, minimize waste, and reduce carbon footprint.

S R Subrahmania Rajah, CEO, Ansio Marketplace Pvt. Ltd said, “We started a pilot project where we delivered fresh vegetables on a day to day basis in a small scale. After the positive response from our consumers we decided to do this on large scale so that large number of people can get benefitted and we came up with the idea of launching an app. The ultimate goal of the app is to provide the customers with quality products at affordable prices. In order to produce quality products at affordable prices, we source directly from the network of farms supplying fruits, vegetables and groceries. The scale of operation allows us to offer unparalleled freshness. We also have a dedicated R&D team with over 10 years of experience in Organic and other specialist agricultural practices from all over the world including Israel, UK, and France.”

Mr. V. Shankar, Founder, Computer Age Management Services Pvt. Ltd, TiE Chennai, Angel Investor said, “Agriculture technology can support farmers in two ways. Firstly, technology can help the farmers with crop cultivation, higher crop yield and safe growing conditions helping them maximum production. Secondly and more importantly, technology can help farmers market their produce directly. Ansio will connect the farmers directly with the end consumers and I believe Ansio will bring about a significant change in the food industry.”

Ms.Kasthuri, Renowned actress & social activist said, “Ansio app is an innovative ‘uzhavar santhai’ (vegetable & fruits market) on the internet. I believe Ansio app can bridge the balance between shortages and surplus. Both the farmers and the consumers get a choice through this app. For those who are heath conscious, Ansio app has a variety of organic vegetables and fruits to choose from.”

Ansio.in is available on the App Store on iOS and on the Play Store on Android.

About ansio.in: Shop for grocery, fruits & vegetables, home appliances and stationery from Ansio and get them delivered to your doorstep. Our aim is to offer best quality products to the customers at affordable prices. We established Ansio brand in 2014, with a vision to make quality products available to the customers at affordable prices. We make this possible by sourcing directly from our network of farms supplying fruits, vegetables and groceries. The scale of operation allows us to offer unparalleled freshness. Our fleet and logistics including integrated cold-storage vehicles where appropriate, help ensure freshness of the produce, minimize waste, and reduce carbon footprint. We also have a dedicated R&D team with over 10 years of experience in Organic and other specialist agricultural practices from the world over including Israel, UK, and France.

Recently we have teamed up with local milk vendors and farmers to offer regular subscription services. The apartment households can subscribe to receive all their daily needs including fresh milk, greens, fresh batter and other staple items using our app. This helps them to take advantage of the volume discounts in combined purchases. For the suppliers, it helps them plan their production and to tap into markets that were not previously reachable.

We have reached out and partnered with farmers all over the state and especially within reachable limits of Chennai and its neighbouring agricultural high towns. The diversity and timeliness of these farmers in terms of their produce, makes us one of the most efficient delivery systems for fruits and vegetables in terms of freshness, maximum shelf life and delivery time efficiency.
