On the launch of the app, Chaitanya Davda, Co-Founder, Vocal for Local, said, “One common misconception many budding entrepreneurs have is that scaling their business requires encompassing a multitude of fancy tricks or expensive methods. We launched Vocal for Local as a unique, exclusive, one-stop platform for connecting buyers and sellers of homemade products and in turn gave these entrepreneurs a platform to scale their business. Growing a home business from zero to seven figures is complicated, but it’s more than possible. While every business and brand is different, there are always going to be important factors to consider in regards to how you want your business to perform and succeed. Use Vocal for Local and you will be able to better navigate a complicated process. Best of all, you will build a strong brand from the ground up.”
Mihir Turakhia, Co-Founder, Vocal for Local, added “Remember that every major company was a start up at some point. The Indian market for home entrepreneurs is fragmented, unorganized and without great visibility resulting in them being unable to grow beyond a point. We built Vocal for Local keeping in mind two important aspects; create a value proposition for the growing Indian passion for local home-grown products and address the social cause of women empowerment and home entrepreneurship. Our app supports all homemade categories as we go beyond the most common food category and include handicrafts, beauty & wellness products as well”.
