We have started this Project called “TEKA” (Means,Support in Hindi). VEEDANSH’S TEKA APP. works as our brand name in leading Mobile Applications & Web Application. We at TEKA, bridge the gap by connecting our Customers with our tied-up Retail Vendors through On-line and Off-line Solutions.

Apart from discounts, we have a unique model of Reward Points system where a customer will get by default redeemable points on his cash purchases.

With such a loyal customer base we assure our merchants a solid turnover every year. If our workings are in win-win situation and getting good volume of business is not a difficult task as most of grocery purchasers will also buy medicines for their personal use. Will you like to be part of this movement with us? Given an appointment to meet, we will be at your Local Head Office or on a Video Call to discuss in detail to move forward. Let us look at each of these a little closely. Firstly, in addition to the product itself, Teka offers you genuine cash discounts up to 40% at all times on all products - these discounts are not dependent on seasons or festivals - they are there all the time for you to avail. Next up, Teka offers you Teka Points for your purchases, much like credit card companies offer points on the purchases you make using their credit cards. But the similarity ends there. Teka Points system is the game-changer here - these are the building blocks of TEKA's Business offer. TEKA's community building is simple - whenever Customers from your area or city or a state purchase from Teka linked Franchise outlets it forms a sort of community to your Teka identification number using Ai systems. TEKA's customers benefit from their purchases / sales - as a community marketplace that is driven by the power of acquaintances and connections. You can also refer others too, referring others is as simple as forwarding the referral link to their mobile or WhatsApp. Imagine the power of community buying. Let us see how. It is common enough and perfectly understandable when discounts and cashbacks are offered on personal purchases. But it becomes interesting when discounts and cashbacks are offered to you on purchases of your referrals. It works like this - when you buy products /sell from Teka or someone from your community or a group buys/sells products from Teka, you get an appropriate number of points as stipulated by the business. These points are called Teka Points or Akshaya Patra Points. These are the points that contribute to Teka cashbacks.
