P.K. Saravanan says, “Before taking the cans for delivery, we ensure that they are clean and have a seal and an ISO number. Plans are on to seal the cans completely with recyclable covers, so as to prevent damage and leakage.” So far, more than 1,000 people have downloaded the app. “On an average, every day, we receive around 100 bookings,” Saravanan adds.
