Mumbai, Maharashtra, 3rd of June 2026 : The next major chapter of India’s economic growth is no longer being written in metropolitan cities, but in the lanes of villages and local kirana stores. Leading this transformation is Bengaluru-based rural commerce platform VilCart, which has redefined the rural business ecosystem by bringing together technology, supply chain efficiency, and local entrepreneurship on a single platform. With a revenue of ₹1,176 crore in FY 2025-26, the company has demonstrated that India’s true growth potential lies in its villages.
Founded in 2018 by C. Prasanna Kumar, VilCart today connects over 100,000 kirana stores across more than 30,000 villages in South India directly with manufacturers, Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), and brands. This extensive network not only ensures access to quality and affordable products for rural consumers but also makes procurement easier, more efficient, and more profitable for small retailers.
VilCart’s biggest strength lies in its technology-driven supply chain model, specifically designed to address the unique needs of rural markets. By overcoming the limitations of traditional distribution systems, the company is building a modern commerce infrastructure across villages. VilCart’s journey is not merely a story of business growth; it is also an inspiring example of creating a self-reliant and empowered rural India.
