OneGreen, touted to be Asia’s one-stop marketplace for everything natural has reportedly secured undisclosed investment and backing from Nikhil Vora (Founder & CEO, Sixth Sense Ventures) and Nimisha Nagarsekar (CFO, Sixth Sense Ventures).
According to the founders the idea behind by OneGreen was simple – We weren’t expecting to come across two challenges almost immediately into our green journey. First, we couldn’t find sustainable and organic products easily. Once we did, we weren’t sure if the product was actually organic, pure, green, and sustainable or if they just claimed it. There were no specific quality checks at the store-end to ensure if products are as authentic or organic as they claim to assure the conscious consumer.
The online shop OneGreen validates and verifies the claims of 350+ brands, 12,000+ products and 80+ categories that are offering clean, organic, conscious products. The company has built an in-house proprietary algo-based tool that gives assurance to consumers in order to facilitate an ecosystem that is transparent, genuine and credible.
The patented OneGreen Index is the most extensive quality and credibility measurement three-step model in the Indian E-Commerce market today. This model is designed and implemented to drive level A assurance and confidence among customers, so that you do not have to worry about the credibility of any product available on our platform.
“We could see a strong connect between the brand philosophy of OneGreen, Nikhil and Nimisha’s vision and Gul’s personality – Nikhil and Nimisha have a history of backing not only successful and future-looking brands but also teams that are futuristic and full of rigor. Gul, on the other hand, is one of those few celebrities, who is supremely transparent with her consumption choices and healthy lifestyle. She is what you see as a person and that is precisely what you get on OneGreen,” said Abhijit Bhattacharya and Neha Gahlaut, founders of OneGreen.
OneGreen dabbles with multiple categories, including but not limited to personal care, groceries and staples, intimate hygiene, home care, and food and beverage. This wide array of product portfolio is in line with bringing all the needs of the consumers under one umbrella. All this while also assuring top-notch conscious quality.
Founder and CEO of Sixth Sense Ventures, Nikhil Vora, stated, “OneGreen is solving a key problem in a very large market. By 2025, India’s ecommerce market is expected to cross $200 billion, and there would be nearly 340 million ecommerce customers. The number of conscious consumers is already hitting a 100 million number. We are excited about the pivotal role that OneGreen will play as a tech-driven integrated market-place to these consumers.”
