देवगड ते USA | Billion Dollar Mango Market | American Bhau Podcast

देवगड ते USA | Billion Dollar Mango Market | American Bhau Podcast There isn't a single day we don't miss the taste of home—especially the authentic, sweet taste of Indian Alphonso mangoes! In today’s episode of the 'American Bhau' podcast, we are joined by the "Mango Man of the USA", Sameer Phanase. Sameer came to America on an H1B visa as an IT engineer back in 2007. Today, he has built a massive business bringing the true taste of Indian mangoes to all 50 states. We dive deep into his inspiring success story, discussing his transition from a standard tech job to building a multimillion-dollar import-export empire. Exporting fresh mangoes from India to America is no joke! Indian mangoes were completely banned in the US until around 2007, and even today, the USDA and FDA rules are incredibly stringent. Sameer breaks down the complex irradiation and hot water treatment processes required to bring these fruits into the country safely. He shares mind-blowing stories about the high-risk logistics of air freight, how a simple paperwork mismatch can result in entire shipments being destroyed, and how he even ended up serving authentic Alphonso mangoes to Hollywood celebrities at the 2023 Golden Globe events. If you want to experience the pure nostalgia of Ratnagiri Alphonso, Gujarat's Kesar, or the South's Banganapalli mangoes right here in America, Sameer Bhau has you covered. Fresh Mangoes delivers top-quality, strictly graded, and carefully packaged fruit straight to your doorstep.
