This report was brought into limelight by the Union Minister for Textiles and Women and Child Development Smriti Irani.

Mayank Tiwari, CEO of Resha mandi was first inspired to create this platform in 2020. In order to protect the silk industry that has a market worth Rs 266 billion as per estimated in 2019.

“Our services ensure that crops stay healthy via AI-based tracking, which has helped reduce crop failure by 80 percent, providing the farmer with higher production capacity, and eventually, higher revenue,”, Mayank says

Resha Mandi is the one of the first Indian platforms in the market where the farmer can complete the entire cycle of work involved in the producing and handling silk aided by technology. They work directly with the farmers to get the best market price while handling the entire supply chain and ensuring a sustainable ecosystem.
