Leadership Team

A Vision Beyond Retail

With a background as a Geopolitical Risk Analyst and strategic researcher, Sai Shashank applies tactical intelligence to solve complex “last-mile” hurdles in rural commerce across Bharat.

From SAARC research to social innovation labs, the Gramin Dukaan business model is engineered for systemic resilience and sustainable growth — designed not just to scale, but to genuinely transform rural livelihoods.

His conviction: geography is an accident of birth, never a determinant of quality of life. Every village deserves access to the same quality of goods, services, and opportunity as any Indian city.

Building the Backbone of Rural Commerce

Divya brings operational depth and community intelligence to Gramin Dukaan, ensuring that the mission translates from strategy into lived impact on the ground.

Her focus is on building the trust, partnerships, and on-ground systems that make every Gramin Dukaan store a genuine engine of prosperity for its community — not just a retail point, but a hub of rural economic activity.

Deeply committed to the empowerment of rural entrepreneurs, Divya ensures that the human element of every partnership is never lost in the pursuit of scale.

Mastering the Movement of Goods

Manogna oversees the end-to-end logistics and sourcing operations at Gramin Dukaan, ensuring that products move efficiently from farm and supplier to the village shelf with zero waste and maximum reliability.

Her expertise in supply chain coordination and rural sourcing partnerships forms the operational backbone that makes the Gramin bidirectional supply model a reality on the ground across every partnered village.
