Client Overview

FarmDidi, founded in 2018, is a Delhi-based D2C food brand rooted in traditional Indian kitchen wisdom, later gaining national recognition after securing funding on Shark Tank India.

Problem Statement

Sales plateaued at ₹3-4L/month. In-house social media lacked scale and a relatable brand voice to connect with a wider, diverse Indian audience.

Our Approach

We rebuilt FarmDidi’s social identity to drive community and brand love. We humanized the brand by creating our own content, from educational whiteboard videos on superfoods (fenugreek, kalonji) to viral meme series (“Didi Goes Savage”). Our insight: regional character ads (our own team dressed up!) massively boosted engagement. We onboarded 50+ influencers (homemakers, chefs, travel/food creators) purely on barter, saving lakhs and generating lakhs of organic views. This authentic community-building created a powerful story that directly contributed to their ₹1 Crore Shark Tank funding.

Testimonial

It’s Hard to Find People Who Get Things Done With So Much Accountability

Most of the third parties are typically very transactional in how they operate. It is always about the scope of work with limited accountability. Being a startup I was looking for someone who can hustle along with us, who are very close to the team and looking for wins like us. With Umanshi, it never felt that there is a different company in another universe, but it always felt that there is my team who is working with our goals. I also want to thank Sonali for her sheer dedication and unmatched ability to get things done. Umanshi, you have an amazing team! Keep up the good work!
