For our 10th and final episode of Vulcan TV this year, we are really excited to have visited Redmart‘s office in Singapore.
For those who are unfamiliar with Redmart, it is a online grocery shopping site which delivers all your household essentials to you seven days a week.
After dropping a visit to the Redmart’s office and having interviewed Roger Egan, the CEO of Redmart for Vulcan TV, we discovered a few interesting things about Redmart ourselves.
Redmart’s cofounders Roger and Vikram knew each other through their wives!
Roger sees Redmart as a technology and logistics company.
Redmart was almost named “YellowStore” or “GreenMarket”
Redmart’s product selection increased 200% this year.
Redmart moved its office 3 times in the past 2 years because of its high growth rate.
