"We have around 20 lakh population in Coimbatore and there are roughly four lakh households. We took a risk to cater to every household. We introduced ASK in various leading apartments eight months ago which eliminates the middleman and the products or produce come from manufacturer to customer," he said.

There are mainly four categories namely home delivery, touch and feel experience shopping, services, hospitality and entertainment, he said.

All these services are given to people by 'Unit CEOs,' by which an opportunity is given to people to take up leadership and be a part of the community to serve people and earn money as the company has also partnered with various vendors that helps them build their business, he said.

"Unit CEOs procure orders and we supply to the households," he added.
