Business Model

VilCart operates a tech-enabled supply chain that directly connects farmer producer organizations (FPOs), brands, rural SMEs, and manufacturers to rural kirana stores. This helps kirana stores easily procure inventory and manage logistics.

By partnering with VilCart, kirana stores can experience multiple financial benefits, ease of doing business, and better reach to all stakeholders in the rural retail sector. VilCart also supports farmers, FPOs, SMEs, youths, self-help groups, and local transport operators, resulting in consistent income and growth for these groups.

Mission

 Vilcart's motto is sustainable rural development through stability for rural retailers. The vision is to transform Gramin Kirana stores to Gramin Supermarkets where they have access to all the products in the city.

Vision
