Optimize Procurement

with Nirvah

A digital sourcing platform for SME food retailers boosting profitability and efficiency

Food vendors face procurement inefficiencies, leading to wasted resources and potential fraud. Nirvah, deriving its name from the Sanskrit word for ‘sustenance,’ revolutionizes sourcing, streamlines negotiations, and reduces costs. Our platform empowers SME food retailers to secure the best prices and manage procurement seamlessly, fostering true sustenance in the food supply chain.

We’re here for a more equitable world.

We want to push for change that will make our world more equitable for everyone. For this end, we have identified 8 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) that will help us make a lasting impact.

UNSDGs at work currently.

Nirvah will enable farmers to reduce waste (12) by selling directly to medium sized retailers. Avoiding unnecessary transportation will reduce carbon emissions (13). The farmers will be able to earn a more equitable wage (10). The platform can be used by non-profits to cut costs to serve more people (2). Nirvah’s innovative procurement solution creates more efficient, sustainable and resilient infrastructure (9) in the food industry.

UNSDGs we will incorporate as we grow.

As we grow, we have long term plans to partner with organizations (17) that are able to provide psychosocial support (3) to farmers and their families, and educate both farmers and the wider community (4) on organic/ traditional farming practices that are gentle on the planet and people.
