SAHAY
"Designed for the streets"
Vegetable and fruit vendors spend long hours in uncomfortable, inflexible cart setups — difficult to move, poorly suited for different terrains, and offering limited weather protection — leading to physical strain, fatigue, and reduced earning potential.
SAHAY reimagines the traditional vending cart into a flexible, ergonomic, and mobile system that adapts to different terrains while reducing physical strain on vendors.
