About DINKO MART
A digital commerce platform connecting farmers, rural entrepreneurs, local producers, businesses & consumers.
→ Every homeConnecting authentic products with wider markets
A marketplace built to create opportunities for producers and meaningful choices for consumers.
DINKO MART is a digital commerce platform connecting farmers, rural entrepreneurs, local producers, businesses and consumers through one growing marketplace.
We believe that India’s farms, villages and local enterprises have enormous potential. From agricultural products and organic foods to traditional products, farm machinery and rural innovations, thousands of quality products are created every day by farmers and small businesses.
However, many producers face challenges in reaching the right customers and expanding their markets. DINKO MART is created to bridge this gap.
Our vision is to connect products from farms, villages and local enterprises directly with homes and customers, creating better market opportunities for producers while making quality products easily accessible to consumers.

Three of the ranges on DINKO MART are made by partners, and every page that sells one says whose it is.
The same ten stages the diagram on the home page draws, written out. Stages one to six carry produce to a kitchen; seven to ten carry the money back as machinery, compost and seed.
Fresh produce is coming soon. Stages one to six describe how it will travel when it starts; millet foods, coffee, bio-inputs and machinery are on sale today.
Every plot on the line has a land record, a crop plan and a soil card on file. That is not bureaucracy for its own sake: the soil card is what decides which bio-inputs we recommend back to that farmer later in the cycle.
Orders close at 9 PM. The quantity on the book that night is the quantity cut before dawn. Nothing is harvested speculatively, which is the single biggest source of waste in the ordinary vegetable trade.
Sorting happens at the collection centre while the farmer is present, by size and by blemish. Rejects go to the compost line and come back as vermicompost. They are not quietly re-graded into a cheaper crate and sold on at a lower price to the same buyer.
Produce goes to four degrees at the collection centre and stays there until the van door opens at your building. Most short-lived quality problems in vegetables are not growing problems, they are a two-hour gap in the cold chain somewhere between the field and the city.
Bulk crates arrive at the hub and are split into household orders, then routed by pin code. Assembly happens here rather than at the farm, so a farmer packs one crate of one crop instead of a hundred mixed bags.
When fresh produce starts, you pick the window at checkout. Every crate will carry a weight slip, and the lot will be traceable back to the plot it was cut from.
What households pay funds what farms buy next: machinery, vermicompost, neem cake, microbial cultures and seed for the following cycle. That is the part most supply chains leave out, and it is the reason we draw the line as a circle rather than an arrow.
Our simple philosophy is:
We are building DINKO MART with a long-term vision to create a strong ecosystem where farmers, rural entrepreneurs, local producers and consumers grow together.
From farm. From village. From local enterprise. To every home.
