Co-founder and Chief Business Officer Nidhi Nirmal of Kisankonnect
Co-founder and Chief Business Officer Nidhi Nirmal of Kisankonnect added, “In today’s world, consumers have become highly conscious of what they consume. Knowing the farmer from which the food comes directly is matter of great confidence about quality of the produce. As a mother, it is important for me whether what I’m buying for my family are leafy vegetables grown on sewage water near railway tracks, or I’m getting it from a known source, who ensures the produce is harvested from healthy plants.”
Shilpa Shetty Kundra also expressed concern about trusting the source and nutrition of vegetables in our daily diet. The partnership aims to connect responsible farmers practicing ethical farming with conscious consumers in Mumbai and Pune. These consumers care about what they consume and want the produce conveniently delivered directly from the farm to their homes. We see our customers love and trust Kisankonnect and prefer buying more from our farmers.”
