Chennai, 7th August 2025 – Chemical-free high-quality fresh mangoes exporter MangoPoint raises USD 1 Million in Pre-series A round led by Inflection Point Ventures, one of India’s largest angel investing platforms to expand infrastructure, reach additional markets, strengthen backend and increase product portfolio. The round also saw participation from The Chennai Angels, Native Angel Network, Keiretsu Forum India, Fondation Botnar, IIM-CAN, Metis Family Office and JITO Incubation and Innovation Foundation (JIIF).
Since its founding in 2018, Mangopoint established a name for itself as a high-end supplier of fresh mangoes that are single-origin, free of chemicals and carbides, as well as processed mango goods, to North America and Europe. With a strong emphasis on quality and authenticity, the brand presents the best mangoes and mango products from India to customers across the world.
Manjula Gandhi Rooban and Prasanna Venkatarathnam, two seasoned experts with extensive international expertise in supply chain, consulting, and IT, co-founded MangoPoint. Manjula, an Anna University alumnus, has worked in information technology for more than 15 years with organizations like Mindtree and ABB. She first worked in India and the US before coming back to India to follow her entrepreneurial dreams. A graduate of Coles College of Business, Prasanna has over 15 years of experience in project management and consulting with companies such as Accenture and Cognizant. He possesses extensive knowledge of logistics and retail technology, and his work with Walmart’s IT infrastructure served as the basis for MangoPoint’s core functions.
Mitesh Shah, Co-Founder, IPV says, “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”
By processing mangoes responsibly from farm to market, MangoPoint fills a significant gap in post-harvest management by avoiding the use of dangerous pesticides like calcium carbide and guaranteeing natural ripening. The business is already handling more than 2,000 MT of mangoes a year, and it plans to expand to 20,000 MT in the upcoming years. MangoPoint is in a unique position to drive the transformation of mango exports with an emphasis on quality, safety, and sustainability, since India produces 24 million MT of mangoes yearly, or about half of the world’s total.
Manjula Gandhi Rooban, Founder & MD, MangoPoint says, “We are excited with our journey and partnership with IPV and other investors in this funding round. This investment will significantly enhance our network, broaden our market reach, and drive scalability. We are optimistic about the exciting opportunities this opens beyond our core Fresh Mangoes business, enabling us to innovate and build a robust mango value chain with processed products and mango-based ingredients, positioning us as a unique leader in the industry.”
MangoPoint has established itself as a standard for quality and compliance in the mango export sector by becoming the first packhouse in Tamil Nadu to be recognized by both APEDA and NPPO. Additionally, the factory has received FDA inspection and accreditation, allowing fresh mangoes and mango products to be exported to China, North America, and Europe, among other high-end international markets.
The Mango Industry is estimated at USD 60 Billion globally with over USD 20 Billion in India alone, growing at a CAGR of 4.9% to 8%.
