Community Market CA is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Indianlife is a leading brand in North America, specializing in vegan and vegetarian Indian foods.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 2 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 4 new doors to enter.
Lead with Tomato Chutney in Chutney.

The more differentiated opening is chutney: Community Market CA stocks only 1 there, so Indianlife Tomato Chutney stands out rather than blending in.
