🎯 Problem Statement

India's 25 lakh street food vendors face a critical supply chain challenge that costs them time, money, and business opportunities:

• 2-3 hours daily wasted visiting multiple suppliers.

• No price transparency across different vendors.

• Quality inconsistency without supplier verification.

• Revenue loss - time sourcing = lost business hours.

• Zero digitization in traditional sourcing methods.

• No organized supplier network for bulk advantages.

Result: Vendors spend more time sourcing ingredients than actually serving customers and growing their business.

StreetVendor is a comprehensive two-sided digital marketplace that revolutionizes how street food vendors source their ingredients by connecting them directly with verified suppliers, enabling 30-second ordering instead of 3-hour traditional sourcing.
