What is inspiring about this startup is that the founder of this startup started his venture with only Rs. 500.

He led Batoor single-handedly and functioned as the CEO, delivery guy, marketing manager, and operations manager.
Since its launch, Batoor has been able to complete more than 20, 000 orders. It has more than a dozen employees under its wings who are locals. Moreover, it generates more than Rs. 4 million in revenue. Batoor envisions digitizing the local food and retail industry, delivering their products to the consumers, saving consumers precious time and money, and creating job opportunities for domestic people.
