About Good To Take:  Last December,I was traveling from Munich to Mumbai. After reaching to Mumbai Airport, I was waiting for my brother and he would need one hour to reach airport so I headed to cafe.I had ordered a cup of coffee and a piece of cake.after some time,staff has swapping food products to fresh food.I did not understand,as I had recently bought piece of cake so I was worried about would it be good to consume and  I started communicating with the staff and found that a lot of delicious ,edible food is simply getting waste.In today’s digital era, technology could solve communication problem.Here ,cafe would not able to effectively communicate last-minute offer to end consumers. I deep dive into food waste problems and we almost lost 1/3rd food which we produced. According to the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) – despite India wasting food worth about $14 billion a year, according to government figures.  On the other hand,194 million Indians goes hungry daily.After identifying problem, market potential and need of consumers (Food retailers and end consumers ) I have developed prototype of app and tested in local market of my hometown. I have received positive response from food vendors as well as end consumers. I have developed a business model where everyone could win.End conusmer would be win as they are getting good deal ,food business are making extra cash from surplus food item.Now, I have published beta version of app on google play store. Moreover, we are working on improving app and give the best user experience. Vision and Mission and Core Values:Vision: Good To Take app is not just a food app we are here to revolutionize food waste and shape we can all consume food sustainably. Moreover, empower food retailers to not have to waste food ever again. Mission: Inspire and empower everyone to take action against food waste. Core Values :

  1. Focus on the user and all else will follow.
  2. It’s best to do one thing really, really well.
  3. Fast is better than slow.
  4. Customer Obsession
  5. Great just isn’t good enough

Your future Plan: In the next 3 years, we would like to expand to almost all of the metropolitan cities.  About Founder : I would like to introduce myself as a young entrepreneur with a startup firm “Good To Take”. This app connects users with businesses that have surplus food so that this food can be enjoyed instead of wasted.  I have recently (May 2020 ) completed MBA in General Management from Technical Hochschule Georg Simon Ohm Nuremberg, a German university.This  course gave me a sound overall knowledge of leading-edge management principles such as market strategy, competitive analysis, financial management, leadership in an international organization and business ethics amongst other topics. While pursuing a master’s degree, I have gained hands-on experience during working in ITQ GmbH’s Innovation Lab where I have learned how to validate and execute idea and make market fit products which could solve a consumer problem. Having developed a sound platform in management, as well as gained international exposure, would be helpful in developing and growing startup successfully. I will put in my best to match the high standards set by company and prove a valuable asset to the organization.
