Lucknow, June 2 (TIWN) A new mobile app, called 'Mango Baba' will help one in ordering mangoes online and getting them delivered at your doorstep.

Director of the institute Shailendra Rajan said, “The app has been modified based on the first year’s experience. Consumers were facing difficulty generating an OTP. To address the issue, efforts were made to use a fast server because multiple registrations at the same time necessitated a quick response.” The app now accepts both cash on delivery and online payment as opposed to only cash on delivery last year. Since mango marketing is done for only two months, the app has started selling mango-based value-added products such as pickles and immunity boosters to remain active for the rest of the year. “In future, it will also be used to deliver plants to people’s homes,” said the director. The app will also serve as a platform to self-help groups engaged in the making products by giving opportunities of sales. “Last year, Mango Baba was used successfully to deliver mangoes to people’s homes. Entrepreneurs created a mango supply chain from the orchard to the customer. All standard grading and packaging procedures were carried out under the supervision of the institute’s scientists,” said Rajan.
