Company profile

researched Aug 2026

FreshToHome operates an e-commerce storefront (freshtohome.com) and mobile apps for iOS and Android through which consumers in India order fresh fish and seafood, poultry, mutton (goat and lamb), steaks and fillets, ready-to-cook items and vegetarian products. The catalogue shown on the site is organised into categories including Heat & Eat, Fish & Seafood, Poultry, Mutton, Ready to Cook, Combo Packs, Steaks & Fillets, Indian Breads & Batter, Dairy Products and Cold Pressed Juices, with individual items priced in Indian rupees and sold by weight (typically per 500g) or per pack.

The site presents discounted list prices, daily deals, flash sales and promotional codes, and product naming spans multiple Indian regional languages, reflecting a customer base across several linguistic markets. Ordering is account-based, with registration and login by mobile number, email or one-time password. Delivery is scheduled by slot, with express delivery available in most areas through the mobile app. A paid "Purple" membership tier offers unlimited free home delivery and member-only deals. The company also publishes certificates, a newsroom, an FAQ, a refer-a-friend programme and a "Sell With Us" channel for suppliers, and provides customer support via a toll-free number and email.

Business model

Direct online retail of fresh and prepared animal-protein and related food products to consumers, transacted through the company's website and mobile apps and fulfilled by home delivery. Products are sold at per-weight or per-pack prices, frequently discounted from a stated list price. An optional paid membership ("Purple") bundles unlimited free home delivery and exclusive deals, and a supplier-facing "Sell With Us" programme is offered.

Revenue is generated from product sales at listed rupee prices per pack or per 500g unit, supplemented by a paid "Purple" membership that provides free home delivery and member pricing.

Traction

The storefront lists a broad assortment across more than ten categories, including fish and seafood, poultry, mutton, steaks and fillets, ready-to-cook and heat-and-eat meals, breads and batter, dairy and cold-pressed juices, along with a paid membership programme and app-based express delivery.
