Quickart UAE has strengthened its local food supply model following the securing of $1.5 million in seed funding, aimed at expanding infrastructure and supply chain capabilities across the United Arab Emirates.
Founded in 2022 by Pravin Rai, the company operates a farm-to-home platform connecting households and HoReCa businesses with locally produced dairy and agricultural products across Dubai, Sharjah, and Ajman. The model eliminates intermediaries and sources entirely within the UAE, enabling closer control over pricing, supply continuity, and reduced dependence on imports during disruptions.
The funding round was led by Orbit Ventures, with participation from investors including Ashneer Grover, Manoj Tiwari, and other angel investors and family offices. The capital will be used to strengthen supply chain infrastructure, expand last-mile delivery, enhance technology systems, and develop cold chain capabilities.
The company has established operational infrastructure including dedicated facilities, integrated sourcing systems, and a network of farm partners across the UAE. It is designed to scale production, manage inventory, and maintain quality across the supply chain.
“At a time when global supply chains are increasingly unpredictable, building a strong local ecosystem is no longer optional, it’s essential,” said Pravin Rai, Founder of Quickart UAE. “Our focus has always been on creating a model that is reliable, scalable, and aligned with the UAE’s long-term food security objectives.”
Quickart also supplies the HoReCa sector, supporting restaurants, cloud kitchens, and hospitality businesses with consistent access to locally sourced produce. By shortening delivery timelines, the platform reduces waste and improves supply predictability.
The company is positioned within the UAE’s broader food security strategy, supported by investments in local agriculture and supply chain resilience. With additional infrastructure and funding, it is expected to scale operations further in the domestic market. The company aims to enhance efficiency and supply stability.
