Nature's Basket

Nature's Basket is an Indian grocery delivery chain of retail stores focused in gourmet food. It has a range of organic food, imported ingredients and exotic foods. The company is headquartered in Mumbai, India and has multiple stores in cities like Mumbai, Bengaluru, Pune and Kolkata. It was acquired by Spencer's Retail Ltd, a RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group company in May 2019 from the Godrej Group in an all-cash deal.

History
Nature's Basket was founded in 2005 as a "world food store" and now operates 31 physical stores in cities such as Mumbai, Bengaluru, Pune and Kolkata. The retail chain sells fresh vegetables, fruits, cold cuts, meats, cheese, organic foods and dairy products. It also sells gifts.

It also operates as an online grocery store and mobile app platform which caters to 125 cities across India.

Nature's Basket acquired Mumbai-based online grocery store Ekstop.com in 2015 to strengthen its online presence across 125 cities in India.

In 2017, the company rebranded as a "Daily Food Delights" store.

The company was acquired by Spencer's Retail Ltd from Godrej Group in May 2019 in an all cash deal. The acquisition proved complementary across a number of fronts. The acquisition helped Spencer’s Retail expand its retail presence in Western India, a region for potential business growth. Natures Basket retained its brand, providing Spencer’s with a market flanking opportunity.
