The research began in the state of Tamil Nadu where they talked to several farmers and identified their problems. The farmers from that region still relied on the old traditional methods of cold storage that included gel packs, ice, expensive reefer trucks and rudimentary ice boxes.

They observed how important cold chains are for storing and transporting farm grown like vegetables, fruits as well as meat and fish. The farmers were not contended with these old storage solutions but they had no other option else than to continue doing it in absence of an alternative and more modern method. This was the opportunity Tan90 grabbed and with their exemplary mindset and engineering skills, they developed thermal solutions that caters to the needs of the customers.

I have always been against Glorifying Over Work and therefore, in the year 2021, I have decided to launch this campaign "Balancing Life"and talk about this wrong practice, that we have been following since last few years. I will be talking to and interviewing around 1 lakh people in the coming 2021 and publish their interview regarding their opinion on glamourising Over Work.
