Company Description :
Nekofi is India’s first 100% Ethiopian specialty instant coffee brand, created for people who value excellent coffee without complex equipment or exclusive membership culture. The brand offers single-origin Ethiopian coffees—Guji (light), Sidama (medium), and the Nekofi Blend (dark)—carefully processed and vacuum freeze-dried into convenient pods that preserve over 92% of original flavor and aroma. Alongside its core products, Nekofi runs Nekofi Brew Bar, providing curated tools and an open library of brewing protocols for those who want to explore specialty coffee more deeply. The company also hosts Sensory Sessions, small-group palate calibration workshops that help participants better understand taste and coffee beyond the cup. Committed to sustainability, Nekofi closes the loop by upcycling or reclaiming used cups through #NekofiCreator and a free pickup program, keeping materials in the supply chain rather than landfill.

→ Research decision-makers, procurement patterns, existing supplier landscape
→ Own outbound sequences — email, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, in-person walk-ins
→ Ship sampling packs to shortlisted accounts and follow through to pilot orders
→ Move accounts from first pitch → pilot → repeat supplier
→ Build the pitch materials with the founder and design team
→ Track everything cleanly — pipeline, stage, next step
