Go the EazyBasket Way

March 15, 2016 | Posted by Great Lakes << back to blog

From midnight snacks to milk, from energy drinks to nutrient packed fruits – a student’s life thrives on these in-between indulgences. And why shouldn’t it? After all, it is often at odd times, perhaps when one is sitting with a cup of coffee or a bowl of fruit, that a nocturnal ‘Eureka!’ moment happens. Was this how the idea of EazyBasket was conceived too? We wonder.

Sating cravings at Great Lakes used to be an ordeal. The campus, which is situated at a peaceful sixty kilometers from the city of Chennai has limited nearby options to go out grocery shopping every time hunger strikes. But things have changed.

A team of three Great Lakers from the PGPM 2016 batch have taken it upon themselves to supply good quality groceries within the campus via an exclusive intranet webpage platform meant for Great Lakes students. Their venture, called EazyBasket aims at serving the existing batch of 650+ students with groceries and fruits with same day delivery. The portal is easy to use – a Google Docs sheet lists out different grocery items available with their respective prices. Students have to select the item along with quantity and provide their email ID and WhatsApp mobile number. The minds behind EazyBasket, Akash Vashishtha, Sheshank Goel, and Shobhit Ambasta have tied up with MORE Retail stores and local fruit vendors to keep the supply chain intact. The simple yet novel idea has already received much encouragement from students. “Within weeks, the number of followers touched 50+ people. It is a successfully running business since September 2015 and constantly clocking a revenue of around Rs. 10,000 – 12,000 per month”, the team recounts with pride.

The team behind the venture

Akash Vashishtha is a B-Tech graduate in CSE and has 28 months experience as an Informatica developer. A former college president (during 2009-10), Akash is an avid reader, a keen fitness enthusiast and a movie buff.

Sheshank Goel is a B-Tech graduate in Information Technology and has an experience of 40 months in the IT industry. He has successfully handled the position of Quality Assurance Engineer across domains such as BFSI and e-commerce. Previously, he started an education portal named PunditGyan.com to provide tips, tricks and updates on various competitive exams.

Shobhit Ambasta is a BE graduate in Mechanical Engineering with 44 months of experience as an Assistant Manager in the manufacturing industry. He is deft in planning and project management, and has hands on experience in implementation of ERP Systems. Shobhit also has two patents under his name.
