The Startup Idea

When interviewed, Sekhar mentioned the various challenges and irregularities the meat industry in India had. As we all know, meat production in India is largely unorganised. People have to stand in long queues to get meat from the shops. Most importantly, India is seen to be consuming unhygienic meat for the way these meat shops have to serve. Considering the situation, Hibachi came up with the idea of offering organic and hygienic meat that too at your doorstep.

Challenges Hibachi faced in the outset

The start of this company was all about big challenges for the founders. Procurement was one of them. Meat needs to be procured completely based on the number of customer orders and customer satisfaction in order to make sure there is fresh meat delivery. Therefore, procurement of the right amount was initially a big challenge. Secondly, clean meat production came out to be a problem and likewise, the assessment of customer experience. While in order to sustain in the market, a good customer experience was the key, the startup underwent huge research to find out various customer needs. They researched and performed immense analysis on the right amount of procurement, storage conditions, the temperature required for different types of meat, package and finally the delivery.
