About

VillaMart introduces a groundbreaking PPAAS (PhyGital Platform As A Service) model, reshaping the agricultural landscape through a Tech-Enabled Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) Omni-channel marketplace for Farm Produce. Our seamlessly integrated mobile and static outlets, coupled with a sophisticated Procurement cum Fulfillment Center (PFC), utilize advanced technology to ensure freshness, chemical-free produce, efficient sales tracking, and pattern analysis, with a primary focus on reducing wastage. Crucially, the PPAAS model operates on a franchise basis, extending its benefits to roadside vegetable vendors, kirana stores, farmers, Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), and Self-Help Groups (SHGs). This inclusive ecosystem aims to create a win-win situation for all stakeholders. The PPAAS model recognizes the significance of a tactile shopping experience for farm products, delivering the same "touch & feel" encounter to consumers, whether at their doorstep or within a convenient walking distance. VillaMart's innovative approach seeks to transform the traditional agriculture supply chain into a more dynamic, technology-driven, and accessible system.
