Kamatan: Building inclusive and sustainable agri value chains

About Us

We seek to build efficient supply chains for all farm produce, leveraging technology to reduce wastage and inefficiencies, while linking producers and bulk buyers in a seamless, transparent and value-driven relationship. We handle the entire range of farm produce, sourced directly from farmers and farmer producer organizations, and customize the supply model for each buyer.

By assisting farmers in implementation of best practices in producing, harvesting, packaging and transporting fresh produce, we make sure that they get value for their produce that is significantly higher than the traditional supply-chain offered them earlier.

Through our nation-wise marketing linkages, from traders in the biggest mandis/hubs to large modern trade retailers in metros, we make sure that quality produce reaches the market. We have made deep investments in setting up cold storage, warehouse infrastructure, distribution centers and logistics.

This is achieved by using our technology platform as the backbone and vastly experienced execution team, lead by founders with deep expertise in the fields of agricultural policy making, farming best practices, farmer network, distribution, logistics and technology.

Verticals

We supply fruits and vegetables to different segments of customers:

Hotels and Restaurants: From five star properties to small restaurants, biggest cloud kitchens to largest restaurants chains, we deliver to all. We deliver to hotels and restaurants in Bangalore and Pune.

Wholesale: From traders in mandis to large modern trade retailers, we supply fresh produce to 20 cities across India.
