The first time they did it was amid the COVID-19 pandemic back in 2020 when the fruits were sourced from farmers in the Ramanagara, Chikkaballapur, and Kolar districts. KSMDMC continued delivering mangoes through India Post in 2021 due to the success of the first initiative. The department is now hoping for a positive response in 2022.

Nagaraju said that a total of 100 tonnes of mango was supplied to 35,000 customers across Karnataka in 2021. The website also displays the names and numbers of the farmers who provided the supply of mangoes.
When a customer places an order on the website, the farmer who is responsible for providing the variety will receive a text message.
After confirming the order, the farmer will pack the fruits and send them to the General Post Office (GPO) in Bengaluru. The packages will then be dispatched to the customers.
