S4S Technologies

S4S Technologies is a decentralized agri-processing platform serving shelf-stable, nutrition-rich, and convenience foods to industrial kitchens and packaged food companies. S4S's preservative-free, shelf-stable, lightweight, fully traceable, ready to use vegetables replace fresh supplies in these industrial applications. In doing so, S4S saves customers time, purchase hurdles, and daily cooking efforts still delivering products always at a lesser price than the market price. At the heart of the S4S business model is the solar-powered food dehydration system operated by women micro-entrepreneurs(ME). S4S works with MEs to convert produce into non-perishable by providing them with the right combination of technology, finance, and market. The non-perishable produce is made fit for the customer at the central facility and supplied as food ingredients to Food and Beverage Industry. Serving over 850 small and large customers, S4S works with 260 small MEs in 14 villages in Maharashtra and Odisha in India and processing 13,500 tons of produce.
