In addition to this, customers can also visit the factory in person by registering on the website.
“As chilli powder is one of the largest selling segments of all spice and masalas products, we are empowering the consumer to view the various quality parameters of the batch of chilli they have purchased through ‘Know Your Chilli’ feature under this initiative. By entering the batch number data into our website, the customers can ensure the authenticity and extent of the product quality by themselves,” Ashok Mani added. As the fifth point, the brand will also be offering a live communication channel via whatsapp for immediate response to the customers.
