Celebrating Six Years of Distacart—A Journey in Tradition, Innovation, and Global Connection.
In this infinite digital land where so many rise and fall, Distacart has not just only lived but thrived. As we celebrate our sixth birthday, it literally feels like yesterday when all of this started, the milestones achieved so far, and the innumerable bridges we have built across the world. This isn't just a recognition of our sixth year in business; it is reverence for the culture, the community, and the incredible journey that brought us to today's moment.
How It All Began: A Spark of an Idea
It was in 2017 that Mr. Kiran, an Indian expat living in the United States at that time, felt rather homesick for something that would bring back flavors, fragrances, or even comfort. Be it the invigorating smell of freshly ground Indian spices or the Ayurvedic skin care that soothed the skin—these were more than just products; the smells evoked memories, traditions, bits, and pieces of life left behind. Of course, finding such products outside India tends to be very difficult.
He was not the only one in this respect. Thousands of Indian expats abroad shared this view, desperately searching high and low for a reliable outlet that would bring them products that both tasted and smelled of India closer home. It is this collective longing that laid the seed for establishment in the mind of Distacart. Not only did Mr. Kiran want to deliver Indian products to the entire 'Indian Diaspora' across the globe, but he also wanted to keep the cultural identity that those products held special.
And so Distacart was born - a platform that can bring the best of India to a global audience and helps small Indian businesses tap the global market potential.
Bridging Continents: Our Mission Drives Us
The agenda of Distacart was quite simple yet profound: connecting global customers with the rich and diverse offerings of India; basically connecting one to culture, tradition and home ground . It is, however, by far more than merely an e-commerce platform bridging across continents, cultures, and communities. We have taken it as our very own objective to bring a tiny bit of India to all parts of the world, to see that no matter where in the world you may be, you are never too far away from home.
From crowded streets in Mumbai to tranquil backwaters in Kerala, the collection at Distacart yells that it's tremendously Indic. The range on our platform goes from groceries to wellness, and from fashion to beauty. It's not just the product; it goes beyond it. Every product on Distacart mirrors India's rich heritage, exquisite craftsmanship, and age-old tradition.
Empowering Small Businesses: A Commitment to Our Roots
One of the strengths behind the success of Distacart is that we believe in supporting small Indian businesses. Against this backdrop of a corporate giant world, the small ones are struggling, each stride figuring out how to stay afloat. These small businesses are the lifeblood of Indian culture. They are the artisans, the farmers, and the craftspeople who keep the traditions alive.
We enable these small businesses to make their innumerable products available to our customers in the Global market. Cutting out the intermediary and finding ways to work through logistical challenges enabled these businesses to flourish on a global scale, humbly starting from their local markets. Whether a family-run spice shop in Kerala or a traditional silk weaver in Banaras, Distacart has taken products by these entities to international shores, and in turn, carried along the authenticity of the product and the excellence that personifies them.
Customer Service: The Heart of Distacart
At Distacart, customer service is not a department but it forms the core of our and your business. At the onset, we prioritize the resolution of our customers' needs and issues. We realize that the process of buying products online, especially from another country, which we know customers will find amazing, can be scary. With this in mind, we have set up our 24x7 helpline. No matter what time zone you are in, you are never far away from help.
However, our commitment to customer service dissipates far past the resolution of a problem. It's about relationships, building trust, and ensuring that each and every one of our customers is valued. Whether you are placing your first or hundredth order, our team takes the time to ensure your shopping experience, perhaps, is seamless, pleasant, and even memorable.
