Quality & Responsible Sourcing
“At Big Sam’s, the customer is our priority and we understand that quality and traceability are paramount. Thanks to strict quality control processes, our products are procured, packed and dispatched with the greatest care and hygiene. Our team tests every shipment for quality and freshness.
Given the sensitive nature of our products, we ensure that the correct temperature is maintained throughout the journey of the product, all the way to the customer’s doorstep.
Our global network of suppliers allows us to ensure that our products are sourced only from the most reputable and sustainable sources across the world.”
History
On returning to India after completing his MBA from Harvard Business School, Lavin Samtani noticed a gap in the availability of good quality salmon and seafood products in the country. He saw that the Indian consumer was evolving, becoming more health conscious, and had global exposure to food. The demand for nutrient rich, honestly sourced products was growing, but there was a lack of options – thus Big Sam’s was founded in 2012.
We started off selling our Norwegian Salmon at a few stores around Mumbai. As demand picked up, we expanded our product range and started retailing at more stores. Over time, we have expanded our product range to a host of seafood, meat and vegetarian products. Today, our presence extends across all major supermarkets and e-commerce channels (including our own) across the country so our products are easily available to our customers.
We are the first and only brand that sells Organic Norwegian Salmon in India.
Thanks to our commitment to quality and our loyal customer-base, Big Sam’s is a frontrunner in introducing new, high-quality seafood & meat to our customers in India.
As a family business, we take a long-term view on everything we do. We are grounded by our core values, backed by several decades of experience and motivated by our commitment to our customers. We believe in being honest in everything we do.
