Matchbox solutions is now eFarm
Why the change ?
We started our journey some 3 years back, working at various sustainable social ventures. eFarm was one such 'spark', which originated as an idea in the matchbox solutions womb, which grew to grab all our attention and time - like the 'most' loved baby !
The Indian agri supply chain presented a challenging domain and we were able to see the vision, objectives and strengths of Matchbox Solutions being better channelised and utilised on this project. We therefore, decided to morph, in order to intensify focus on this one sector.
We have now started a new entity called MVS eFarm Pvt Ltd., which is fully focused on developing India's first end to end agri supply chain platform. Please visit our new home on the web: www.efarm.in for details.
Note: For those who have been following us regularly, a big thank you. This website would be phased out shortly, once we move all relevant content to our new site. Please update your bookmarks.
Why Matchbox ?
A Matchbox can be found in pretty much every home.
The 'head' of the matchstick (brain) when struck (work) against the
surface of the box creates a spark (intelligence) leading to a tiny
flame (energy) which can be used for a variety of purposes .
Every one of us is like a simple matchstick - with a lot of unrealised
potential. We at Matchbox Solutions believe that it is possible to
channelize the collective energy of people to bring about constructive
change in our social and economic environment - Thus solving critical
problems which apparently seem insurmountable .
