Chennai | August 7, 2025 — At mango season’s peak, one startup is turning the spotlight back on India’s king of fruits. MangoPoint, founded in 2018 by Manjula Gandhi Rooban and Prasanna Venkatarathnam, has raised $1 million in a Pre-Series A round led by Inflection Point Ventures, with support from The Chennai Angels, Native Angel Network, Keiretsu Forum India, Fondation Botnar, IIM-CAN, Metis Family Office, and JITO Incubation and Innovation Foundation.
MangoPoint isn’t just exporting mangoes it’s shipping an experience. Specializing in chemical-free, carbide-free, single-origin mangoes and processed products, the startup currently moves over 2,000 metric tonnes annually, with plans to scale tenfold to 20,000 tonnes in the coming years.
The funding will bolster MangoPoint’s farmgate infrastructure, streamline backend operations, diversify its product range into food, pharma, and cosmetic-grade mango ingredients, and extend its reach across new markets.
“Despite Indian mangoes being among the finest in the world, they lag behind in making their global presence felt,” says Mitesh Shah, Co-founder of Inflection Point Ventures. He points to fragmented supply chains and subpar post-harvest systems as obstacles and positions MangoPoint as the aggregator transforming quality, traceability, and international standards.
