Living Food是印度增长最快的1P平台，专注于新鲜食品，今天宣布由Amasia领投的750万美元a轮融资结束，Amasia是一家论文驱动的全球风险投资公司，通过行为改变投资于可持续性。其他参与的投资者包括SOSV、Blume Founders Fund，以及著名的天使投资者，包括Xander Group创始人Sid Yog和Nexus Venture Partners联合创始人Sandeep Singhal。Living Food专注于在收获或生产当天向消费者提供“非常新鲜”、来自当地的高质量农产品，于2018年在创始人位于班加罗尔的公寓中成立了一个垂直气候控制水耕农场，销售从农场到餐桌的订阅服务。从那时起，该公司已扩展到包括24个类别的700多个sku，如应季水果、绿叶蔬菜、新鲜面包、手工巧克力、酱料和酱汁、冷榨油等，并在班加罗尔提供一系列产品，也可在全国范围内配送。该公司计划在2022年初扩展到孟买，并在今年晚些时候扩展到更多市场。通过新一轮融资，该公司将扩大团队，改善物流和技术产品，并推出新品牌。在过去的一年里，来自Living Food平台的订单数量增长了10倍，同时保持了93的净推荐评分(NPS)。“生活食品”目前99%的外卖在24小时内完成，80%的订单在6小时内送达。通过与当地最优秀的农民、面包师、酿酒师和其他食品工匠合作，采用环境可持续的做法，确保了质量和安全。Living Food的合作伙伴包括世界上最好的茶园Makaibari，出售他们最新的收获，以及屡获殊荣的Araku Coffee，提供现磨咖啡。 Living Food also recently launched a cloud kitchen where dishes are prepared from fresh products sold on its platform. “We found plenty of opportunities to grow while remaining focused only on Bangalore. This funding round is a testament to our relentless focus on transforming our consumers’ eating behaviours. We did it by providing access to a vast selection of fresh, clean, and credible food through our fast and innovative fresh food supply chain. Living Food will continue to work towards providing locally-sourced healthy food that is good for the people and right for planet earth,” said Akash Sajith, Founder and CEO of Living Food. According to India’s health minister, food-borne diseases are a growing concern in India, currently costing US$15 billion annually and the number of cases expected to increase up to 177 million annually by 2030. The health of the Indian population is heavily vulnerable to contaminated food, with unsafe food and water being the biggest cause of preventable infection. The Indian government has recently launched initiatives such as ‘Eat Right India’ in an effort to transform the country’s food ecosystem. Amasia’s investment in Living Food aligns closely with its investment thesis on behaviour change for a more sustainable planet. Some of Amasia’s investments globally include Skillshare, Tokopedia, Dialpad and Xendit. “We’re excited to support Living Food in the next chapter of their journey. We are impressed with the team’s ability and determination, which were all part of what made the company so attractive to us as an investment,” said John Kim, Managing Partner at Amasia, who also led Living Food’s seed round in 2020.
