🚀 The Inspiration Behind Yindii: Turning Food Waste Into a Business Opportunity
Louis’s journey started with a simple yet urgent question:
💭 How can we stop perfectly good food from being wasted while helping businesses stay profitable?
🌎 1/3 of all food produced globally is wasted, costing businesses billions and accelerating climate change.
💰 In the HORECA industry, reducing food waste isn’t just good for the planet—it’s good for business.
🥡 Yindii bridges the gap between food retailers, restaurants, and consumers—helping businesses reduce losses while offering customers quality meals at discounted prices.
Now operating in Thailand and Hong Kong, with Singapore next, Yindii is proving that profitability and sustainability can go hand in hand.
