The launch was attended by Mr. Arun Alagappan, Executive Chairman, and Mr. S. Sankarasubramanian, Managing Director & CEO of Coromandel International Limited, along with the company’s senior leadership team.
Coromandel began its rural retail journey in 2007 under the “My Gromor” brand and has since expanded to become one of the largest agri-retail chains in India. With 1000 company-owned, company-operated stores across Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Maharashtra, the network today serves more than three million farmers, supported by a 5,000-member 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.”
The Apla Gromor store in the Kashti–Shrigonda belt will also serve as a hub for digital farming solutions, including the MyGromor app, remote advisory, and image-based pest and disease identification.
