98% of Consumers Don’t Know Where Their Food Comes From—Satyajit Hange’s Solution is Changing That

How Two Brothers Organic Farms Is Pushing Beyond Organic Labels With Farm-to-Fork Traceability

Satyajit Hange, co-founder of Two Brothers Organic Farms, recently took to LinkedIn to challenge a growing issue in the organic food industry—over-reliance on certifications. In his post, Hange stated, “Just being certified as an organic brand is not enough in 2025. Certifications are just labels.”

He emphasized that while certifications help establish credibility, they don’t tell the full story. According to him, what truly matters is transparency and traceability—ensuring consumers know exactly where their food comes from and how it’s produced.

Bridging the Gap Between Farmers and Consumers

To address this, Two Brothers Organic Farms has introduced a Dynamic Farm-to-Fork Traceability Solution. This innovative system allows consumers to trace their food’s journey from farm to table before making a purchase. By simply scanning a QR code on the product, buyers can access crucial details, including:

The farmer who cultivated the crop

The farming practices and fertilizers used

The harvest timeline and storage conditions

The goal, Hange explained, is to empower consumers with knowledge. “You deserve to know what you’re consuming. You deserve to know where it comes from, how it’s grown, and who makes it possible.”

Food Pharmer’s Review: A Deep Dive Into Transparency

Before its official rollout, Two Brothers Organic Farms provided early access to the system to Revant Himatsingka, popularly known as Food Pharmer. He scanned the QR code on one of their products and was able to view everything—from the exact farmer to the fertigation methods and the shelf life of the product.

This level of radical transparency is rare in the organic food industry, where many brands rely on labels without offering real proof of sourcing and sustainability.

Holding Farmers (and Brands) Accountable

Hange believes that this traceability system benefits both consumers and farmers. When consumers have access to such detailed information, it not only builds trust but also ensures accountability at every step of the supply chain.

“When you see all these details, our farmers know there’s someone out there watching, appreciating, and trusting their hard work from day one until harvest.”

By making their entire backend operations visible to the public, Two Brothers Organic Farms is placing itself under “positive pressure”—a term Hange uses to describe the responsibility they feel to uphold their promises.

A New Standard for Organic Food

This approach is set to disrupt the organic food industry, where certifications often act as a marketing tool rather than a guarantee of purity. Two Brothers Organic Farms is calling for a new era of transparency, where consumers no longer have to take brands at their word—they can verify the truth for themselves.

Hange ended his post with an invitation for feedback, saying, “Your thoughts can help us shape this into a crowd-sourced solution—one that truly works for you and for our farmers.”

As consumers become more conscious of their food choices, innovations like this could set a new gold standard for ethical, transparent, and truly organic food production.

Zomato ‘Quick’ Enters the 10-Minute Food Fight – Can It Beat Swiggy’s Bolt and Zepto Cafe?

Zomato is set to launch pilots for its 10-minute food delivery programme under the name ‘Quick’ in the NCR region next week, according to sources.

“Zomato has reached out to restaurant partners to initiate its 10-minute food delivery program, Quick starting with restaurant with consistent ratings across hygiene, kitchen prep time and quality,” Kawaljeet Singh, CEO and Co-founder of Harsukh Foods which operates over 50 restaurant outlets in NCR-region told Yourstory.

Another founder in the F&B space said that the Deepinder Goyal-led company sent emails to restaurant partners to deliver select dishes from their menu under the new programme. YourStory has reviewed the mail.

Zomato declined to comment on the queries shared by Yourstory and instead reiterated its plans from the third-quarter shareholder letter. Last week, Zomato said its 10-minute delivery feature would be enabled by curated items from the menu of restaurant partners and through a dedicated delivery fleet.

Quick will compete with Swiggy’s food delivery model Bolt, which has seen a spurt in popularity accounting for 5% of the platform’s orders as per Swiggy’s September quarter earnings.

​”Bolt is a very high-focus programme for Swiggy so they give a lot of visibility and entry points for Bolt brands. The “Bolt” nugget is visible on the landing page as well as on the top of their “Food” page. These things activate multiple entry points for brands leading to an increase in top of the funnel, impressions and menu opens. Restaurants are pushing for higher menu penetration of Bolt items so that they don’t lose on these entry points,” said Karan Tanna, Founder & CEO of Ghost Kitchens, which runs brands like Starboy Pizzas and Speak Burgers.

While it is still early days and January is a slow month for the industry, there has been no incremental growth in restaurant’s business with the 10-minute food delivery service. The same customer is now ordering through Bolt and others,” noted Singh.

The 10-minute food delivery space has new and incumbent players. Zepto Cafe, an early player in the segment, has already established itself as a standalone offering out of the company’s quick commerce ecosystem. Within a month of launch, the offering was completing over 50,000 orders a day, CEO Aadit Palicha shared in a post on X in January.

Upcoming startups like Accel-backed Swish and NCR-based Zing are also targeting the 10-minute cloud kitchen delivery model. Quick commerce players like BB Now and Zomato’s Blinkit, under Bistro are also looking to scale 10-minute food delivery under private label. Earlier this month, Swiggy also launched a separate app under the name Snacc to offer 10-minute food options under its private label.

Despite revenue growth, the company reported a wider loss of ₹159 crore, up 10% from ₹145 crore in FY23. CityMall’s Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) stood at -36.18%, while its EBITDA margin was -30.34%. On a per-unit basis, the company spent ₹1.44 to earn ₹1 in operating revenue.

With rising operational costs but steady revenue growth, CityMall continues to navigate the challenging yet expanding social commerce market in India’s smaller cities.

India’s Food Service Industry Set to Hit $150 Billion by 2030 – Here’s Why Multi-Brand Giants and Cloud Kitchens Are Winning

India’s Food Service Industry Set to Hit $150 Billion by 2030 – Here’s Why Multi-Brand Giants and Cloud Kitchens Are Winning

The Indian food services industry is undergoing a rapid transformation, with its market size projected to nearly double from $80 billion in 2024 to $144-152 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 10-11%, according to a report by Redseer Strategy Consultants.

Organized Players Are Winning the Race

Half of the industry is now dominated by organized food service brands, which are outpacing unorganized businesses. The rise of online food delivery, brand expansion, and changing consumer habits is driving this shift, particularly in metro and tier-1 cities. More people are choosing to dine out or order in—not just for convenience but as a social experience fueled by pop culture, social media, and a growing appetite for niche cuisines.

Multi-Brand Strategies & Cloud Kitchens Are Reshaping the Industry

The report highlights a major trend: multi-brand strategies are becoming the key to success. By operating multiple brands under one umbrella, companies can target different customer segments, optimize resources, and scale faster while reducing risk. This approach has already proven successful in global markets, with major players expanding their portfolios through acquisitions and strategic partnerships.

Cloud kitchens are a major disruptor, challenging traditional dine-in restaurants by cutting operational costs, improving efficiency, and generating higher revenue per kitchen. Brands operating under this model can scale 2-3 times faster than conventional restaurants, leveraging shared infrastructure.

“The plug-and-play nature of cloud kitchens allows new brands to hit ₹100 crore revenue in just 2-3 years—compared to the 6-10 years it takes for dine-in brands,” says Rohan Agarwal, Partner at Redseer Strategy Consultants. He further emphasizes that agility, operational excellence, and innovation are essential for brands looking to thrive in the competitive F&B space.

Traditional Single-Brand Chains Are Struggling to Keep Up

The report warns that single-brand restaurant models are facing stagnation as customers demand more variety and unique experiences. Multi-brand businesses, especially those leveraging cloud kitchens, collaborations, and acquisitions, are in a better position to dominate the market.

Continue Exploring: The End of a Retail Era: Neville Noronha Checks Out, Anshul Asawa Checks In

Interestingly, only 1-2% of food service companies in India have scaled beyond ₹500 crore, with most of them relying on a multi-brand approach to get there. However, Redseer cautions that rapid store expansion alone is no longer a guaranteed formula for success. With the industry diversifying into new cuisines and service formats, companies must adapt quickly to stay ahead.

Starbucks’ $9.4 Billion Gamble: Brian Niccol’s Bold Plan to Revive Café Culture and Win Back Gen Z

To stay relevant today, a coffee shop has to be much more than just a place to grab a basic cup of black coffee. With the explosion of café culture and remote work, customers now expect a variety of food options, trendy seasonal drinks, and—just as crucially—fast, reliable WiFi.

During Starbucks’ latest earnings call, CEO Brian Niccol spoke about the company’s efforts to recapture its appeal and reconnect with customers. “We’re going to, once again, be loved for our coffee, loved for the warmth, loved for the welcoming coffeehouse… that we have,” he said. The brand is betting on cozy, inviting spaces and picture-perfect latte art to bring back that classic café experience.

Continue Exploring: The End of a Retail Era: Neville Noronha Checks Out, Anshul Asawa Checks In

One major focus of the call was menu simplification—trimming down food and drink offerings while improving how they’re presented on in-store digital displays. With a planned 30% reduction in menu options, Niccol explained that the new digital boards will make it easier to highlight different drinks and food items depending on the time of day, all while reinforcing the coffeehouse vibe and making the menu more intuitive for customers.

Starbucks is also making a concerted push to attract more Gen Z consumers. Along with the updated menu displays, Niccol highlighted moves like eliminating extra charges for non-dairy milk and expanding the selection of cold drinks—especially teas, refreshers, iced coffees, and cold brews. “If we bring smart flavors with tea, refreshers, cold beverages… we continue to see progress with the younger customers,” he noted.

Here are some key takeaways from the call, followed by the full earnings transcript:

Q1 revenue remained flat at $9.4 billion

The company is shifting strategy to address underlying challenges and build long-term growth

Plans to double U.S. store count

Major investments in employees, including a new scheduling system, increased paid parental leave, and a commitment to promoting 90% of retail leadership from within

“Shark Tank India Pitcher Accused of ‘Disrespecting Cash’ After Spent ₹14 Crore of Husband’s Money on Kids’ Brand Tikitoro!”

Shark Tank India Pitcher Accused of ‘Disrespecting Cash’ After Spent ₹14 Crore of Husband’s Money on Kids’ Brand Tikitoro!"


In the latest episode of Shark Tank India, an entrepreneur from Chennai, Prasanna, pitched her children’s healthcare brand Tikitoro, sparking a fiery exchange with the sharks. Prasanna, a mother and former homemaker, presented her company as a solution to a gap in the market—products like shampoos and lotions tailored specifically for kids aged 3 to 16. She shared her personal inspiration for the brand, revealing that after noticing the lack of products catering to older children, she was driven to create Tikitoro.

Asserting that while the market was flooded with baby care products, there were few options for older children, Prasanna asked for ₹25 lakh in exchange for just 0.5% equity, valuing her brand at ₹50 crore. The panel of sharks, including Namita Thapar, Anupam Mittal, Vineeta Singh, Kunal Bahl, and Peyush Bansal, listened intently as Prasanna outlined her journey.

Before launching Tikitoro, Prasanna spent 14 years as a homemaker, which she believes shaped her understanding of business management. Armed with degrees in engineering and business, she highlighted how her personal challenges—having battled infertility for seven years—drove her entrepreneurial spirit. She shared that her company made ₹6 lakh in revenue in its first year, and the following year, the numbers soared by an impressive 3000%. This sharp increase in growth led Prasanna to project ₹17 crore in revenue for the current year.

However, things took a tense turn when Prasanna revealed her financial history. She confessed that she had spent a whopping ₹14 crore of her husband’s money on the business, which raised eyebrows among the sharks. Vineeta Singh, in particular, was visibly shocked and accused Prasanna of “disrespecting cash.” She pointed out that while the growth was impressive, burning through such a large amount of money without a sustainable plan was a red flag.

Prasanna defended her approach, arguing that while the brand was still in its growth phase and burning cash, it had substantial potential. She acknowledged the need for further investment to scale the operations and optimize the brand’s cost structure. Despite the high-risk approach, Prasanna was confident that Tikitoro could achieve even greater success with the right backing.

While the entrepreneurs on the panel were impressed by Prasanna’s drive and the brand’s growth potential, the concerns over her financial management led to a mixed response. Vineeta’s critical remarks about the high cash burn and lack of profitability didn’t deter Prasanna, who remained resolute in her vision for Tikitoro.

In the end, the episode highlighted the fine line entrepreneurs must walk between ambition and financial discipline, showcasing the challenges that come with building a business from scratch—especially when substantial personal resources are involved. Prasanna’s bold pitch and the fiery feedback from the sharks offered a glimpse into the tough decisions that entrepreneurs face on their journey to success.
