At GO DESi
GO DESi is a packaged food brand inspired by regional flavors, tastes, and formats. Our vision is to make DESi popular. We are currently available in 35,000+ stores nationwide.
GO DESi started as an experiment. Desi products sourced from cottage industries,
SHGs, cooperatives, and micro-entrepreneurs set up on an 8*8 ft table in a flea
market. A few flea markets down, we realized the opportunity staring at us: A large
unorganized market with no real brand presence. Why should DESi products not
rub shoulders with large MNC brands?
We debuted with DESi POPz, a desi version of a lollipop.
From selling 1000 POPz a
month to 5.5 million POPz a month, we have become the fastest-selling candy
brand on Amazon. Consumers search DESi POPz more often than Hajmola, Swad or
Pulse Candy. Today GO DESi products are sold in over 25k+ outlets in the country, and we ship
close to 1000 orders daily on our website/ marketplaces.
Every story has a rockstar, and the GO DESi story its DESi POPz. When we looked
at the repeat virality of a product like DESi POPZ, we soon realised that we had
chanced on a once-in-a-lifetime product.
Think of it like Parle G of Parle, Bhujiya for Haldirams, Lux for Unilever, Maggi for
Nestle.
DESi POPz has allowed us to touch close to 50 million consumers’ lives. It has
gained us entry into multiple sales channels, geographies etc. As they say, with great ‘opportunity’ comes great responsibility. On the back of DESi POPz, we want to build a large consumer brand which will eventually
straddle every hidden, sidelined traditional product.
We at GO DESi explore and build confectionery products inspired by local and regional traditions, flavors, formats, and memories. We ensure that our product meets all the quality standards before it reaches our consumers.
We are looking for an experienced Quality control Manager who is thorough, observant, detail-oriented, and committed to delivering the best quality product to our consumers.
