FroGo | Frozen Foods Platform

Founded by Mira Jhala in 2022, FroGo is a New Delhi-based end-to-end zero-temperature loss frozen foods platform that helps in the distribution and retail of frozen foods.

Speaking about the development, Mira Jhala, Founder of FroGo, stated that with over years of experience running food tech businesses, she has seen the growth of the frozen food category, with several frozen foods becoming staples in Indian households.

As per Jhala, consumers are moving towards online buying, and even manufacturers want to deliver frozen food products to the end consumers, but the supply chain is broken.

Jhala added,

“I see both stress and an opportunity for the frozen foods category. With FroGo – Frozen is delivered Frozen, via an end-to-end zero-temperature-loss platform for frozen foods. We offer consumers a large variety of choices and a wider distribution to manufacturers, hence creating a win-win.”

As per the startup, with around 15 dark stores, it clocks over 7000+ orders per month for frozen foods. The frozen food product & distribution startup plans to expand to 50 dark stores across 4 cities in India.

The New Delhi-based startup aims to have an extensive network of dark stores across the nation with unified distributorship and streamlined operations across multiple demand channels, which would strengthen FroGo’s position as a category leader.

“We believe the vision of Forgo will change the perception of the frozen food taste in the Indian market and will re-define frozen food supply chain in India in the coming years.”
