Want to build the next-generation supply chain that can change the lives of India’s 58% workforce i.e farmers? then read on!<\/p>\n

About Ninjacart<\/h1>\n

Ninjacart is India’s Leading Agri tech platform, solving one of the toughest supply chain problems of our country through technology.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Currently, we connect vegetables and fruits farmers directly with businesses. At one end, we help farmers get better prices and deal with consistent demand and on another end, we help retailers to source fresh vegetables at competitive prices directly from farmers. We do this effectively at a lower cost, better speed and larger scale using integrated supply chain powered by technology, data science, infrastructure, and logistics network.<\/p>\n

Disrupting for the rest of India!<\/h1>\n

Technology and data science makes Ninjacart what it is today and will define our tomorrow. We are using technology for the people who are neglected the most\u200a \u2014 \u200athe farmers, to improve their income and change their families’ lives forever.<\/p>\n

The best part of what we do is the challenge to conceive and build for an unknown : unknown<\/strong>\u200a \u2014 something from scratch with truckloads of assumptions. We don’t have the option to copy or rebuild what already exists across the world<\/p>\n

There is no “scalable” supply chain network built in the world, which can handle products that change in price, quality, demand and supply every day and has less than 24 hours shelf life. The real fun is doing all this at scale while keeping our cost very low in an ecosystem that is unorganised and has low technology penetration. Essentially\u200a-\u200abuild a supply chain that can thrive on uncertainty<\/p>\n

This throws up the most challenging problems any problem solver, creator, and disruptor would love to solve and makes it the best place to fail, learn and build something great.<\/p>\n
