MandiGate Launches Mandikart: Bringing Fresh, Local Food Closer toHome

MandiGate

A Mission Rooted in the Soil

When Yogesh Saini started MandiGate, he wasn’t just thinking about building a company he was thinking about fixing a broken system. India’s farmers, the people who feed the nation, have long been stuck in a cycle of middlemen, unfair prices, and outdated supply chains.
Yogesh wanted to change that.

MandiGate started by making agri-trade smarter and more efficient connecting farmers directly with bulk buyers through a digital-first platform. But now, they’re taking things one step further, straight to the consumer’s plate.

That next step is Mandikart.
