Chennai | August 7, 2025: MangoPoint, a premium exporter of chemical-free, single-origin Indian mangoes and mango-based products, has raised $1 million (INR 8.3 crore) in a Pre-Series A funding round led by Inflection Point Ventures (IPV). Other investors in the round include The Chennai Angels, Native Angel Network, Keiretsu Forum India, Fondation Botnar, IIM-CAN, Metis Family Office, and JITO Incubation and Innovation Foundation (JIIF).
The fresh capital will be deployed to scale infrastructure, enter new export markets, strengthen post-harvest operations, and diversify the product portfolio. MangoPoint, which currently handles over 2,000 metric tonnes (MT) of mangoes annually, plans to 10x its capacity in the coming years, positioning itself as a frontrunner in transforming India’s fragmented mango export industry.
“Despite India producing some of the world’s finest mangoes, exports have been limited by post-harvest inefficiencies and lack of quality infrastructure,” said Mitesh Shah, Co-Founder, Inflection Point Ventures. “MangoPoint is addressing this gap with global-standard processing, natural ripening practices, and a streamlined supply chain. Their model sets a new benchmark for how India’s king of fruits reaches international markets.”
Pioneering a New Standard in Mango Exports
Founded in 2018 by Manjula Gandhi Rooban and Prasanna Venkatarathnam, MangoPoint was born out of a vision to offer safe, authentic, and premium-quality mangoes to global consumers. With a strict no-carbide, chemical-free policy, the company uses natural ripening processes and leverages technology to ensure traceability and freshness from farm to fork.
Manjula, an alumnus of Anna University and ex-IT professional with stints at Mindtree and ABB, returned from the U.S. to pursue her entrepreneurial ambitions. Co-founder Prasanna, a graduate of Coles College of Business, brings over 15 years of consulting and IT experience at Accenture and Cognizant, with deep expertise in logistics and supply chain—much of which is inspired by his work with Walmart’s IT infrastructure.
Global Reach and Regulatory Leadership
MangoPoint is already exporting to North America and Europe, with plans to expand to China and other high-demand markets. The company operates Tamil Nadu’s first APEDA and NPPO-certified packhouse and holds FDA approval, enabling exports of both fresh mangoes and value-added products to premium international markets.
“This investment is a significant milestone in our journey,” said Manjula Gandhi Rooban, Founder & MD, MangoPoint. “With support from IPV and other strategic investors, we’re scaling not just operations, but an entire ecosystem—from smallholder farms to global shelves. We envision MangoPoint as a vertically integrated mango platform, offering everything from fresh produce to processed mango ingredients and B2B solutions.”
Industry Outlook
India accounts for nearly 50% of global mango production, yet struggles to claim a proportional share in global exports due to quality inconsistencies and lack of infrastructure. MangoPoint’s approach bridges this gap through compliance, traceability, and scalable infrastructure.
With the global mango market estimated at $60 billion, and India’s share at $20 billion, growing at a CAGR of 4.9%–8%, MangoPoint’s growth strategy is well-aligned with the country’s broader agri-export ambitions.
