Mangwale is building a zero-commission delivery platform for local businesses

Small restaurants and local shops want online orders, but big delivery platforms often take a heavy commission on every one. Mangwale is a startup trying a different approach.

A zero-commission model

Mangwale is working on a zero-commission platform. Its focus is everyday local businesses: food, local stores and parcel delivery. The idea is to connect these businesses with digital customers without taking a big cut of each sale.

The goal is not just to bring in orders. Mangwale wants to give local businesses a platform where they can grow their sales and keep more of what they earn.

Why it matters

India has a huge number of local businesses, but most of them do not have the resources to build their own technology, delivery network or digital reach. For them, commission has long been a major concern in the delivery world. Platforms like Mangwale could play an important role here.

The big question is how well Mangwale can scale the zero-commission model and connect local businesses and customers across different cities. If it works at scale, it could change the economics of local commerce.

As Mangwale puts it: local businesses deserve better economics.
