Deepak Sabharwal, Co-Founder, Earthy Tales mentions “Our strategy is majorly focused on offering relevant content relating to food, healthy cooking and holistic wellness. Being a trust-based and sustainable food brand, our customers have a key say in how we operate, our sourcing, our packaging – we are completely transparent and together with our customer community, we take a lot of initiatives to build a waste-free, clean food system. Together, the customer community has helped avoid more than 1,00,000 kg of pesticides getting into our soil and food annually. Our customers are emotionally invested in us, and it will be fair to say that we are a community-led brand.”
