“Thirstie’s success has been fueled by our heavy investment in our retail strategy,” stated Thirstie’s CEO & Co-Founder, Devaraj Southworth. “Our approach is extremely unique in the industry as we have a hybrid model compared to that of other e-commerce players. While some partner with a single retailer and rely heavily on them, others bring on thousands at a rapid pace. At Thirstie, we work with hundreds of highly curated retail partners, and now courier services, to ensure the best customer experience possible.”
