      Founder

      As the founder of a small online green grocery-selling site in our locality, my role likely involves a wide range of responsibilities. These include developing and maintaining the website and development and accompanying android application, managing the day-to-day operations of the business, handling customer inquiries and complaints, managing inventory and supplies, and working to grow and promote the business. I have played a key role in developing and implementing strategies for the company, such as identifying target markets, setting pricing and sales goals, and determining the best ways to reach and serve customers. Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, I was able to successfully run the company for nine months before it was closed due to lockdown measures.Link to the android mobile application developed by myself: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.bamboofresh.bamboofresh&hl=en&gl=US&pli=1 Show less
