About Us
Maarc Special Foods Pvt Ltd. is an FSSAI-certified manufacturer of RTC dal mixes and Sambhar Mixes and Ready to cook Gravy base concentrates for HORECA, with our manufacturing facility being located at Vasai, in Palghar district of Maharashtra.
Our Mission
Maarc Special Foods Pvt. Ltd. was started with a mission of serving the underprivileged in India, with a strong desire to make "Food" accessible, affordable, and palatable to the lowest-earning community.
We intend to serve the mission of - No one sleeps hungry with our RTC palatable Dal mixes - which even the lowest earning group can afford and use.
The Fair price shops in India provide rice to the underprivileged as well also the rice distributed by various NGOs and in CSR activity can be made easily palatable by boiling in water.
In the case of Lentils and pulses, we need spices, condiments, and other additions to make it palatable.
Advantages
Ready to cook - No preservatives - no artificial flavours and colours.
Cooks in 3 to 5 min.
Just water to be added in the mentioned amount - zero other ingredients additions needed to make it palatable with taste and flavour.
Ease of preparation as the tired worker and labour class have to put less effort after a day of work to cook food.
Affordable for the lowest-earning community so that no one sleeps hungry.
Fortified versions can be used as a tool to eliminate Anaemia and zinc deficiency which prevail widely in India.
Our Vision
Fortified Version
Serving the problem of Anaemia (Iron deficiency) and Zinc deficiency.
Instead of distributing lentils - at the Fair Price shop we can propose the distribution of a Fortified dal mix
Anaemia (Iron deficiency) and Zinc deficiency are widespread in India, and our dal mix being in powdered form fortification with a direct impact on nutritional value can be achieved
Dal and rice are staples in India and with a fortified palatable version daily nutritional consumption as part of being a staple food in India can serve the purpose of eliminating anaemia from India.
Non Fortified Version
No one sleeps Hungry.
Proposed pack size for distribution:
The pack size of 30 GMs - currently we propose for 10 rs at the smallest shop which the lowest earning person can buy and feed himself.
The 200 GM packs are sufficient for a family of 4 people for 2 days and - we currently propose to sell them at Kirana shops and retail shops @ 75 rs
We intend to further work on costing and bring more affordability by:
Sourcing ingredients directly
Reducing labor inputs by automating processes
We need to connect for Distribution so that the product can reach even the lowest-earning group
Hence proposing the start-up for Mentorship and funds
