Right now, these pioneer app makers are targeting the local grocery, dairy farm, vegetable, fresh fruits, chicken & eggs, and medicines across major cities in India.

The Co-founders, Ninad Sumant-CEO, Dinesh Gat-CTO, and Shrikar Datar-COO, came up with the idea of creating DwarBuddy while pursuing their masters from MIT World Peace University. They are classmates from the same university. They tested the initial versions of the DwarBuddy app in a few hackathons in MIT-WPU. Only when they received validation from the experienced juries in MIT-WPU hackathons that they finally went ahead to convert it into a product-based Startup named DwardBuddy.
