Overall, my opinion is that the site is just OK.Firstly, you need to address the logo on the homepage. Theres no need to have 2 versions of the logo in the top left. It’s making the header very large and pushes most of your content under the fold. I’d take the black on white logo only and put it in the center of the header instead maybe.Secondly, you asked would I buy something from the store. Well, from a consumers perspective, the store looks like a clothing store at first. But then you go into the “all products” page and see that there is clothes, mugs, fidget spinners, USB cables, stickers etc etc.As a consumer this would put me off as it comes across as a bit desperate. It gives the impression that you’re just trying to sell anything and everything to make some money.To be able to buy something from a new brand such as yourself, a consumer needs to be able to trust you, even though that they’ve probably only just come across your site.I’d recommend focusing on one type of product rather than 10 totally unrelated products.If you do one thing but do it well, it will be much easier to build that initial trust that your consumer needs to be able to make the purchasing decision.Anyway, thats just my two cents. Hope it helps! :)

I don't know many people know about him or not but this guy’s story is worth a read & he is a true gem in the entrepreneurial world!He started his business with a very simple idea that is selling Idli & Dosa batters in packaged form with hygiene & preservative free in mind & converted it into a 200 Crores company & the main thing he invested just Rs. 25,000 in his business with the determination & hard work to make it big one day.He is P.C Mustafa founder of iD Fresh a company which was started in 2005 is now a 200 Crore company with his cousins he made it possible.I grew up in a small village called Chennalode near Kalpatta in Wayanad. The village was so remote that we had only a primary school. It had no roads or electricity. We had to walk at least four kilometres to go to high school so most of the kids dropped out after primary school. My father Ahmed stopped studying after Class 4 and worked as a coolie on a coffee plantation. My mother Fathima never went to school. I am the eldest and I have three younger sisters.He is from a remote village in Wayanad, Kerala. Wayanad is known for its beautiful coffee plantations who knew that Wayanad can deliver a gem to Indian Business Market, some youngsters think they are born at a wrong place & it's not their fault of being born at a wrong place but instead of bragging about this they should start working hard & dive into every opportunity they are getting or they can get, life is not easy you have to make it count everyday by your hard work and determination.I was not interested in studies. After school every day, and on weekends, I preferred helping my father, a daily wage worker, instead of doing homework or studying. There was no question of opening the books at night as there was no electricity at home, only kerosene lamps. Though I was below average in all other subjects, I was good at mathematics.After I failed in Class 6 I lost interest in going to school. My father asked me to join him as a daily wage worker. My maths teacher, Mathew Sir, didn't like my dropping out of school one bit. He spoke to my father who agreed to give me one more chance. Mathew Sir asked me a question, 'Do you want to be a coolie or a teacher?' I looked at him and could see the difference between my father and my teacher. 'Sir,' I answered, 'I want to be a teacher like you.' When I went back to school, I had to sit with my juniors. All my friends were in a higher class. I felt so humiliated that I became attentive in class. I was very weak in both English and Hindi. Seeing me struggle, Mathew Sir helped me after school.A Mentor can change your life we all know if Mathew Sir didn't have guided P.C Mustafa he didn’t have created iD fresh a company which is now a team of 1100 & the main thing is employees are from remote villages iD Fresh is giving employment to the one who needs it.Till I completed Class 10, I had not stepped out of Wayanad. For college (junior college was known as pre-degree those days), I had to go to Kozhikode (Calicut). My father didn't have a problem but didn't have any money to fund my education. I got admission at the Farooq College in Kozhikode where my father's friend, who had suggested I study further, arranged for a free meal scheme in the college charity hostel. I was one of the 15 students who was offered free stay and food, as we could not afford to pay. There were four hostels in the college and we had to go to different hostels for breakfast, lunch and dinner as we were on charity. Naturally, other students looked at us with disdain. That upset me. It was like we were eating somebody else's food. Some students made fun of us. It was not a pleasant experience, but I had to swallow the humiliation for the sake of my education.Looking back, I feel the college management did a great job by taking care of poor students like us.Coming from a village, I was very weak in English. It was a big handicap in college where all the lectures were in English. A good friend of mine used to translate everything for my benefit. I also worked extremely hard and felt even more motivated when I scored good marks.See Life is not as easy as it looks he didn’t have the money to afford a meal in college thanks to these charity schemes which helps young people to afford the necessities. So be happy in what you have, & if you want your life to be big & better do work hard & smart & decide what your priorities are.I wrote the engineering entrance exam after college and was ranked No 63 in the state. I got admission at the Regional Engineering College (now the National Institute of Technology).When I look back, I feel three factors helped me.I had the potential as I was good at Maths. I was a hard worker. And the third and most important reason was that God was with me.I was very lucky to have secured such a good rank. I got the opportunity to study what I really liked -- computer science. There was no one to guide me in those days except God Almighty. Life was not that bad at REC. I got a scholarship and also took a student loan. I didn't have to pay any tuition fees and only had to take care of the hostel fees. That was a big relief. Unlike other students, I had to be very careful about spending money, but that was okay. I had no dreams to be an entrepreneur then. I wanted to be a well-known engineer. I worked hard and did well in studies. When I graduated in 1995, I got placed at Manhattan Associates, an Indian start-up in the US.After a few days of working at the start-up in Bangalore, I got an offer from Motorola. It was a dream offer for a person from a remote village in Wayanad. After working for a short period in Bangalore, I was sent to Ireland.As a young boy, I stepped out of Wayanad for the first time to study in a college. Now, for the first time in my life, I boarded a flight and went out of the country. The flight took off at 6.30 pm. I looked down and saw Bangalore. I will never be able to forget the image: The aerial view of Bangalore.Though I loved Ireland and the Irish people, I missed my people and country a lot. I also missed Indian food, as there were no Indian restaurants there. I was used to praying five times a day, which I found difficult to do there. After three months, I got a very good offer from CitiBank. I jumped at it and moved to Dubai. In 1996, a salary in lakhs was quite something. The first thing I did after I paid off my loan was to send Rs 1 lakh in cash to my father through a friend. I was told he cried seeing so much cash in a bag sent by his son.He paid off his debts and started planning my sister's wedding. One of my sisters had dropped out after school, but the others went to college. In 2000, I also got married.You get what you deserve if you work hard for it a local boy from Wayanad who had no dream of being an entrepreneur & who just wanted to be the well-known engineer is now running a top company!It was one of the toughest decision I have ever made. My father was horrified. So was my wife's family. But one person supported me wholeheartedly, my cousin Nasser. As did my wife. I am very close to my maternal cousins. We grew up together. They also came from very poor families. Unlike me, they didn't go for higher studies. Nasser ran away from home to Bangalore where he started a small kirana store. He gave me the courage to listen to my heart. He said, 'If it does not work out, you can go back to work anytime. Quitting the job was the end of the world. But you shouldn't feel that you didn't try to do what you wanted to.'The funny thing was I knew I wanted to do something but had no idea what it would be. I came to back to India with a savings of Rs 15 lakh (Rs 1.5 million).He left the Job there came the moment the family got feared but the brother & wife supported that support helps you a lot when you want to make it big without anything in hand!The journey of iD “Idli Dosa” from 2005!Shamsuddin, one of my cousins, had seen dosa batter being sold in plastic bags tied with a rubber band in nearby stores and suggested we make and supply dosa batter. That was an Aha! moment. I decided to invest Rs 25,000 and start a company immediately.Five of us cousins -- Nasser, Shamsu, Jaffer, Naushad and me -- decided to join hands. The partnership was such that I had a 50 per cent share in the company and the other 50 per cent was with the four of them.We found a small place of around 550 square feet and started with two grinders, a mixer and a sealing machine.We were discussing names when a cousin suggested ID for idli dosa. We named the venture ID Fresh as we planned to supply fresh dosa and idli batter.Our initial target was 20 stores in the neighbouring area. If we were able to sell 100 packets a day in six months, I would invest more and buy more machines.We didn't employ anyone; my cousin was in charge. We started very small with just 10 packets a day. Initially, the shopkeepers were not willing to keep a new brand. So we gave them a special offer -- cash after sales.When the customers asked for ID repeatedly, other stores also wanted to stock our product. But we stuck to the first 20 stores and waited to touch the 100 packet figure. By the ninth month, we were selling an average of 100 packets a day.What better than to start a business with your family you know who is better in what & making it easy to come up with solutions in the business. Nasser, Shamsu, Jaffer, Naushad and Mustafa this team gave hopes to guys who are in villages that everything is achievable if you work hard for it!From Motorola to iD FreshIn 2007, I got my MBA and officially joined as the CEO in charge of marketing and finance. Till then, I was only remotely participating in the operation along with my cousins.In two years, we increased the capacity to 3,500 kg a day. The number of stores we partnered with increased to 300, 400. We now had 30 employees working for us. We were operating our kitchen in a residential area till then.As the demand increased, we decided to have a proper manufacturing plant in an industrial area. We were making a decent 10 to 12 per cent profit every month.In 2008, I invested another Rs 40 lakh (Rs 4 million) and bought a 2,500 sq ft shed in the Hoskote Industrial Area. We imported five large wet grinders from America and customised them to fit our requirements.In 2008, we added parathas to our list of products. We will soon introduce vada batter and also rava idli batter.At ID Fresh, we only deal with natural fresh food. We do not add any preservatives to any of our products.In 2012, we expanded to other cities like Chennai, Mangaluru, Mumbai, Pune and Hyderabad. My friends and relatives joined me to take ID Fresh to the next level. We follow a partnership model in other cities, with a local manufacturing plant in each city. Each partner becomes a shareholder in the parent company. In 2013, we started our operations in Dubai. We see the maximum demand for dosa batter in Dubai and are not able to match the demand. Our experience in Bangalore helped us. We use the same raw materials, the same manufacturing process and the same business model everywhere. Expanding to other cities was a bit tough though since we are not locally present there.We are not looking at any other international market right now. India is such a huge market and we have so much to explore.25000 to 100 Crore JourneyToday, we produce around 50,000 kg in our plant. The total investment must be around Rs 4 crore (Rs 40 million) and our revenue is Rs 100 crore (Rs 1 billion).When we became a Rs 100 crore company in October 2015, we celebrated on a grand scale. We have grown from producing 10 packets a day in 2005, with just my cousin managing the kitchen, to 50,000 packets a day with 1,100 employees in 10 years.Recruiting the bestWhen I recruit someone, I ensure he is from a rural area. He has to be smart, honest and committed. Those who work in the plant make around Rs 40,000 a month.The biggest challenge any start-up faces is getting the right people, the right team. I was lucky to have my cousins with me.But balancing work and personal life is by far the toughest challenge.My aim is to make ID the most popular and trusted brand in the fresh food segment and make it Rs 1,000 crore (Rs 10 billion) company in the next five to six years.By then, I am sure we will be able to employ at least 5,000 people.Advice to entrepreneursIf you have the passion to start something, do it immediately. Don't wait for tomorrow. I had the passion to be an entrepreneur, but it took me a few years make that decision. I still regret the delay. I wish I had started five years earlier.My words may sound like management jargon, but it is very important to maintain the quality of the product to be successful.The three things that worked for us were that we were in the right city with the right product at the right time.Entrepreneurs take this advice this can change your life if you want to make it happen start it today don't wait for tomorrow because tomorrow never comes for some & you will end up regretting your decision that your life can be better and much larger if you would have taken that decision maybe you would've failed but you should've tried atleast.iD Fresh reached 200 Crore mark in 2018–19The iD Fresh is ready to enter the organic packaged food marketSince we entered this space, a lot more players have entered the market. Having an organic tag will also help differentiate our brand," Musthafa said. Among Indian consumers, the perception around organic food was that it still came at a premium and "that’s what we want to change, so we have value engineered our back-end completely to launch products that are available at a similar price pointFootnotes:How a coolie's son set up a Rs 100 crore companyiD Fresh to sell organic packaged foodImage Courtesy:idfreshfood.com
