Superplum is a technology company.
Superplum delivers pesticide-tested, safe-to-eat fresh fruits via its connected agriculture supply chain. Leveraging proprietary "Fresherator" cold chain systems and "Freshmanager" software, the company precisely monitors environmental factors from farm to consumer. This integrated technology ensures consistent freshness and quality.
Founded in 2019 by Shobhit Gupta, Superplum began by addressing inefficiencies and food safety concerns in India's agricultural supply chain. Gupta aimed to reduce post-harvest wastage, eliminate pesticide use, and improve farmer incomes. He achieved this through a transparent, technologically advanced distribution network from farm to market.
Superplum serves consumers seeking safe, traceable fruits, offering direct farm-to-store transparency. It also empowers farmers, providing advanced technology and practices that enhance produce quality and boost earnings. The company envisions a future where healthy, safe, and sustainably sourced fresh produce is accessible, building trust throughout the food ecosystem.

Superplum is an agritech startup that has built India's first fully digital fruit supply chain, connecting local farms directly to consumers via retail and e-commerce channels.[1][2][5] It delivers high-quality, safe-to-eat fresh fruits—over 20 varieties from farms across 20 states—using proprietary software like Freshmanager™ for end-to-end traceability, tracking farmer details, 10+ quality parameters (e.g., weight, sugar levels, acidity), pesticide tests, and cold-chain logistics to ensure chemical-free produce with minimal wastage.[1][3][5] Serving B2B2C customers including retailers in cities like Delhi and Bangalore, Superplum solves critical problems in India's fragmented fruit market: poor traceability, unsafe ripening practices, mis-selling, high post-harvest losses, and unfair farmer payouts by enabling consumer verification via QR codes and direct farmer bonuses.[2][3][4] With 61-100 employees, $5.2M revenue, and funding including a $15M round and $3.8M pre-Series A, the company shows strong growth momentum through innovations like tamper-proof mango pouches launched in 2025.[1][2][4]
Founded in 2019 by Shobhit Gupta as CEO, Superplum (legal name: Freshcore Provisions Private Limited) emerged from Noida, Uttar Pradesh, to address India's inefficient fruit supply chain, where farmers lose significant income to middlemen and consumers face quality and safety issues.[1][2][3] Gupta's vision focused on digitizing the entire process from farm to fork, starting with custom software for traceability and partnering with farmers for better practices, including collaborations with BAYER for advanced tools.[1][5][6] Early traction came from building refrigerated transport ("Fresherator") and cloud platforms, expanding to 20 states and launching consumer features like QR-based pesticide reports and farmer bonuses by 2023, followed by major funding rounds that fueled scaling.[1][3][4]
Superplum rides the global agtech wave—part of 2,313 companies innovating in farm management, drones, and supply chains—tailored to India's $10B+ fruit market plagued by 30-40% post-harvest losses, unsafe chemicals, and opacity.[2][3][5] Its timing aligns with rising consumer demand for traceable, sustainable food amid urbanization, e-commerce growth (e.g., quick commerce), and government pushes for digital agriculture, amplified by post-2020 supply chain disruptions favoring tech like IoT cold chains.[1][4] Market forces like retail expansion in Tier-1 cities and farmer tech adoption work in its favor, while Superplum influences the ecosystem by setting standards for transparency (e.g., QR bonuses), partnering with corporates like BAYER, and enabling women entrepreneurs indirectly through supply networks—potentially reshaping 20% of India's agritech logistics.[3][5][6]
Superplum is poised to dominate India's premium fresh fruit segment by expanding its digital supply chain nationwide, launching more innovations like AI-driven quality prediction, and deepening retail partnerships amid quick commerce booms.[2][4] Trends like sustainability mandates, blockchain traceability, and direct-to-consumer models will accelerate its growth, potentially capturing 5-10% market share as consumer awareness rises. Its influence may evolve from niche innovator to ecosystem leader, empowering millions of farmers and redefining safe food access—tying back to its core mission of farm-to-fork excellence that started with a single digitized chain.[1][3][5]
