In an Instagram post, the Shark Tank India judge shared how they are taking the help of professional designers to improvise the design of the carts. The team took a lot of feedback. He also discussed some of the problems they are facing right now and how they plan to optimize and resolve them. Peyush Bansal also said that he will share more updates about it at a later date.
Sharing a few photos on Instagram, he wrote:
“Everyone I meet these days has one question….what is the update on Kamlesh from @sharktank.india? While I don’t believe in talking about things till we achieve something, because of popular demand…here is a quick update…We have initiated a process of design and consumer validation of the cart with help of a team of professional Industrial designers. The Design Team visited Malegaon and nearby farms, spent time with different farmers and different crops, along with @jugaadu_kamlesh, Naru and took a lot of feedback.”
He also added:
“Biggest concerns are: Weight of Cart, movement on different uneven terrains and width of cart (as alley size is small in certain crops). Next steps: Find creative solutions to these problems, do design optimisations and go back and test again. Some pics attached. Hope it helps to keep the momentum and hopes high 🙂 Will keep you posted !!! Cheers.”
