That\u2019s the mission Licious is built on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IIT Delhi grads, Abhay Hanjura and Vivek Gupta recognized that the meat-buying process in India had some glaring inefficiencies. The traditional methods of buying meat, through a local butcher or a supermarket often meant compromising on quality and trust. The quality of the meat was inconsistent, hygiene standards were uncertain, and there was no transparency about sourcing, storage, or handling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And thus, Licious was born in 2015 &#8211; to reinvent how India shops for meat, poultry, and seafood. From day one, the goal was simple: provide a better, more reliable shopping experience by delivering high-quality, hygienic, and fresh products straight to consumers\u2019 doorsteps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since then, Licious has truly taken off. It has become a household name for meat-lovers across the country. In 2021, the brand made history by becoming India\u2019s first D2C unicorn, a testament to the massive trust and love it has earned from millions of consumers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, Licious serves customers across 28 cities in India, fulfilling millions of orders every month. But the brand isn\u2019t stopping at just online convenience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Licious is starting to expand into offline retail in a big way. The company has announced plans to open 500 physical stores across 20 cities, with a sharp focus on high-demand urban centres like Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Pune, Chennai, and Kolkata.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alongside this, Licious continues to innovate with new offerings &#8211; from ready-to-cook marinades and meal kits to specialty cuts and regional favourites &#8211; catering to evolving preferences while staying rooted in their original mission of providing high-quality meat products to consumers consistently.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Razorpay: Powering the Licious Experience, One Seamless Payment at a Time<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a brand built on quality and reliability &#8211; every touchpoint counts.
