“Despite Indian mangoes being among the finest in the world, they lag behind in terms of making their international presence felt, due to poor post-harvest handling, disorganized supply chain, inadequate storage, and transportation infrastructure affecting quality and international competitiveness. MangoPoint is resolving this by streamlining the supply chain, introducing international grade quality control and establishing post harvest infrastructure thus bringing the Indian king of fruits on the global market’s palate,” said Mitesh Shah, Co-Founder, IPV.
