“So I got this Washesha idea and pitched it during an entreprene­urship module which is part of my MBA course work.

“After completing the MBA, I partnered up with one of my classmates, Stanislav Gelman, who has a strong IT background and Washesha was born,” Hutamo said.

“We are like your own customised grocery store with a personal touch. We really connect with our customers and strive to keep them happy at all times as we deliver their groceries within two hours.

“We have various suppliers. We have black farmers supplying us with fresh produce, ginger beer, non-alcoholic wine, nuts, dish-washing liquid and eggs. For our fresh produce, we offer crates which contain a mix of fruit and vegetables.

“Our subscripti­ons include four to five weekly deliveries and a free crate.”

Hutamo said the popularity of food subscripti­ons was high.

“People are excited about it as they say it forces them to eat healthily and saves them time because they don’t have to go to the store to buy their weekly fresh produce as it gets delivered to their doorstep.”

Apart from your chosen groceries, Washesha offers meal kits which contain ingredient­s to make a specific meal.

“For instance, if you want to prepare our Summer Scrabble, you would buy the meal kit and receive a pack containing all the ingredient­s necessary to make the dish. Each meal kit has a different price depending on the ingredient­s inside. There are different recipes for breakfast, lunch and supper.”
