FarmLokal Joins IIT Mandi’s Exploration Program: A Leap Forward in Tech-Driven Fresh Food Solutions

At FarmLokal, our journey has always been about one simple vision: bringing the authenticity of local farms straight to your home with trust, freshness and quality at its core. From delivering raw A2 milk, paneer, ghee, and fresh vegetables to enabling hassle-free online delivery across Noida and Greater Noida, we’ve been working to make sure families never have to compromise on purity.

Now, we’re thrilled to share a big milestone: FarmLokal has been selected for IIT Mandi’s Exploration Program, a prestigious platform that nurtures promising startups with the right technological ecosystem, mentorship and resources.

Why IIT Mandi’s Exploration Program Matters

The IIT Mandi Catalyst Exploration Program is designed to accelerate startups that are still refining their products and business models, helping them test, refine and scale faster. Being part of this program means FarmLokal now has access to some of the sharpest tech minds in the country, as well as structured support for building strong, scalable solutions.

For us, this is not just a recognition of our potential but also an opportunity to transform FarmLokal into a robust tech-first company. After all, while you see us as a marketplace for milk, groceries and fresh produce, at our heart, we’re a technology-driven platform, working on innovations like intelligent milk testing containers, smart supply-chain logistics, and app-friendly solutions for both consumers and local sellers.

How This Helps You, Our Customers

What does this milestone mean for families in Noida and Greater Noida who trust us daily with their groceries and milk? Quite simply … better technology, faster deliveries and even greater quality assurance.

• Smarter logistics: IIT Mandi’s tech mentorship will help us streamline delivery so your order reaches you even faster.
  

• Trust through innovation: We’re building systems that test, verify, and assure every drop of milk and every product you buy from us.
  

• A stronger local marketplace: With IIT Mandi’s support, we’re strengthening the bridge between local sellers and urban households, making it easier for you to support local farmers and dairies while enjoying the convenience of modern delivery.
  

The Road Ahead

While IIT Mandi’s Exploration Program is a big step forward, it’s only the beginning. We’re also excited to share that FarmLokal has been selected for the IVRI Incubator under “SAMRIDDHI”, an Agripreneurship Incubation Programme launched by ICAR-Indian Veterinary Research Institute.

This upcoming partnership with IVRI will further strengthen our ability to innovate in the agri-tech and dairy-tech space. We’ll be sharing more about this soon, but for now, know that FarmLokal is steadily moving towards a future where freshness, purity, and trust are delivered not just as promises, but as everyday realities.
