This case follows Shan Kadavil, the co-founder and CEO of FreshToHome, as he assesses the growing diversity of investments being made by his team.

To achieve their mission, the company has invested heavily in advanced technology and operations to optimize the supply chain, reduce waste, and offer competitive prices.
