Since launching its first store in 2007 under the My Gromor brand, Coromandel has built one of India’s largest rural agri-retail networks. With 1000 company-owned, company-operated outlets across five states, the chain now reaches over three million farmers, supported by a 5,000-member field team.
Speaking on the milestone, Mr. Arun Alagappan, Executive Chairman, Coromandel International, said,
“The inauguration of our 1000th ‘My Gromor’ store is a proud milestone in Coromandel’s journey of serving and enabling India’s farmers. What started in 2007 as a small step into agri-retail has today become one of the country’s largest agri-retail networks. Over the years, these centers have emerged as trusted partners for farming community, promoting environmentally responsible agricultural practices, while ensuring timely access to quality agri-inputs, innovative technologies and personalized advisory services that enhance productivity and improve livelihoods. Looking ahead, we have drawn up ambitious plans to double our retail footprint over the years, further deepening our farmer connect and creating sustainable value for rural communities.”
