Superplum Launches InstaTrace: For The First Time in India Families Can See the Full Truth Behind the Safety of Their Fruit

Superplum , the company behind India’s first modern farm-to-shelf fruit supply chain, has launched InstaTrace™ — a first-of-its-kind digital intelligence system that does something no other fruit brand in the world does: it lets consumers see everything.   Superplum InstaTrace™ QR Scanner   Every Superplum pack carries a unique QR code. One scan — no app download, no login — and families get the full, verifiable life story of their fruit: where it was grown, who grew it, how it was tested, and how it reached their home. In a market where consumers have been told to just “trust the label,” InstaTrace replaces blind faith with open data.   Here Are The Receipts. India’s fruit industry is a $100 billion market with zero consumer-facing transparency. No brand lets you verify safety. No brand shows you the farm. No brand names the farmer. InstaTrace changes all of that.   When a consumer scans the QR code on a Superplum pack, they access a comprehensive intelligence report covering eight sections of verified data:   Pesticide Safety: Verified, Not Claimed Every batch is tested at a NABL-accredited laboratory for pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, and growth regulators. The actual lab report is linked directly in the scan. Consumers don’t read a marketing claim — they read the lab data. When the InstaTrace report says “Within Safe Limits,” that’s not a tagline. That’s a test result.   The Farmer: Named, Photographed, Rewardable InstaTrace reveals the actual grower behind each pack — their name, photograph, years of farming experience, and a harvest calendar showing their growing season. For example, a scan of Superplum Papaya shows grower Daga Mahadu Karankal from Shindkheda, Maharashtra, farming for over a year with drip irrigation and high farm hygiene. Consumers can even pay the farmer a direct bonus through a secure portal — turning purchase into partnership.   The Farm: GPS-Pinpointed, Satellite-Mapped Every InstaTrace report includes a precise satellite map of the source farm. This is how Superplum guarantees provenance. A Sindhura Mango scan shows the exact orchard in Muthalamada, Kerala — with plant age, irrigation type, disease incidence levels, and farm hygiene rating. For GI-tagged varieties, this is irrefutable proof of origin: not “Alphonso-style,” but actual, verified Alphonso from its rightful region.   The Journey: Tracked all the way From the moment the fruit is hand-picked to the final quality check at the distribution centre, InstaTrace logs every step. Consumers see harvest time, sorting location, transport temperature, humidity levels, and the name of every quality inspector who handled their batch. A Papaya batch scan reveals it was harvested in Dhule at 9:30 AM, transported at 13°C with 51% humidity, and quality-checked in Noida — every checkpoint verified.   Hygienic Handling: Checked at Every Stage The report confirms that procurement centres, transport vehicles, distribution centres, and packaging lines all passed hygiene checks before the batch moved through. This isn’t a blanket assurance — it’s a checkpoint-by-checkpoint verification trail.   Carbon Footprint: Measured, Not Marketed For the first time in Indian fresh produce, consumers can view the calculated carbon emissions for their pack’s journey from farm to city. Sourced from the GHG Emission Factors Hub, this gives environmentally conscious families real data, not a green label.   Sindhura   Why There’s Nothing Like This. Anywhere. InstaTrace is not a QR code that links to a marketing page. It is not a blockchain gimmick. It is a live, batch-specific intelligence report powered by Superplum’s proprietary FreshManager™ platform — a system built over five years of in-house R&D to manage India’s most complex fresh produce supply chain.   Globally, no fresh fruit brand combines all of these elements in a single consumer-facing scan: batch-level pesticide lab reports, named and photographed growers, GPS farm coordinates, timestamped cold-chain journey tracking, hygiene verification, and carbon footprint data. Leading international brands offer partial traceability — a regional certification here, an anti-counterfeit code there. InstaTrace goes further by declassifying the entire supply chain for every individual pack.   The Safe Fruit Movement InstaTrace is the public-facing expression of Superplum’s broader mission: to make fruit safety visible and verifiable across India. Behind the QR code is a nationwide infrastructure of farm-level cold rooms, precision sorting and grading facilities, proprietary cold-chain transport (Fresherator™), automated ripening chambers, and state-of-the-art distribution centres — all digitally traced and connected through FreshManager™.   This modern supply chain enables Superplum to deliver what was previously impossible in India: high-quality, pesticide-tested, fully traceable fruit at scale — including delicate varieties like lychees, cherries, and ready-to-eat mangoes, delivered nationwide.   Don’t Guess. InstaTrace It!   About Superplum Superplum is reimagining India’s fruit supply chain with a mission to make fruit safety visible and verifiable. Through its proprietary technology platform, custom-designed digital cold chain, and direct farmer relationships, Superplum delivers premium, traceable, and safe-to-eat fruit to consumers while ensuring fair returns for farmers. The company operates India’s first state-of-the-art modern fresh produce supply chain, serving consumers across multiple states through retail, quick-commerce, and e-commerce channels.   www.superplum.com

On the occasion, the MCA also felicitated Suryakumar Yadav, the 2026 ICC Men's T20 World Cup-winning captain. The Level 1 stand below the Press Box is now named the Ravi Shastri Stand, honouring a prominent figure in Indian cricket. A member of Indias 1983 World Cup-winning team, Shastris contribution spans generations as a player, captain, coach, and commentator. Gate No. 3, Gate No. 6, and Gate No. 5 will now be named the Dilip Sardesai Gate, Eknath Solkar Gate, and Diana Edulji Gate, respectively, marking the contributions of three legends from Mumbai. Sardesai, widely regarded as Indias crisis man, made significant contributions to the game with his consistency and dependability. Solkar, regarded among the finest close-in fielders, played a key role in Indias success with his all-round skills and fearless approach. Edulji, a pioneer of womens cricket, led the national side and later contributed significantly to the growth of the game as an administrator. Unveiling the honours, Chief Minister Fadnavis said, I want to wholeheartedly congratulate the Mumbai Cricket Association. It is a great way to celebrate our icons. This initiative, naming gates and stands after those who created history so that their memories and their contribution to the game remain alive forever, is commendable. I believe that such an initiative can perhaps only happen at Wankhede Stadium through the Mumbai Cricket Association. MCA President Ajinkya Naik said, Wankhede Stadium stands as the heartbeat of Mumbai cricket and a symbol of its enduring legacy. Honouring Ravi Shastri, Dilip Sardesai, Eknath Solkar, and Diana Edulji in this manner ensures that their contributions are permanently etched into Mumbai crickets rich heritage. This initiative reflects the MCAs commitment to preserving our cricketing history while inspiring future generations. I sincerely thank the Honourable Chief Minister Shri Devendra Fadnavis Ji and Honourable Cabinet Minister Shri Ashish Shelar Ji for their continued support in strengthening the foundations of cricket. Ravi Shastri said, Its a privilege to receive it at the ground [Wankhede Stadium]. When you look at the names there, which youll see tomorrow, Tendulkar, Vengsarkar, Gavaskar, Sharma, and then, of course, the gates, it reflects an association rich in tradition. They win more than anybody else. So to get up there, youve got to work hard. It wont come easy. For anyone young or aspiring, there are no shortcuts. Diana Edulji said, It is indeed a great moment for me and my family to be standing here for the unveiling of the gate in my name. I would definitely like to thank the Mumbai Cricket Association. The way they have treated womens cricket and the players has been commendable. Over the last few years, both the current and previous Apex Councils have done a wonderful job in promoting womens cricket and giving us the respect we deserve. Ravi Shastri said, Its a privilege to receive it at the ground [Wankhede Stadium]. When you look at the names there, which youll see tomorrow, Tendulkar, Vengsarkar, Gavaskar, Sharma, and then, of course, the gates, it reflects an association rich in tradition. They win more than anybody else. So to get up there, youve got to work hard. It wont come easy. For anyone young or aspiring, there are no shortcuts.
