Manish Rao Group is a diversified enterprise operating at the confluence of global trade and intelligent technology. We move commodities across borders with the precision of a technology company — and deliver technology with the discipline of a trading house.
The position
The future belongs to those who can operate in both worlds.
Most firms pick a side. The physical economy that moves nations and the digital economy that moves markets are treated as different businesses, staffed by different people, run on different clocks. We run them as one — because the buyer of a coal cargo and the buyer of an AI programme are increasingly the same company.
What we do
Each arm can be engaged on its own. Together they cover a company's whole supply line — the raw material that goes in one end, the hardware it runs on, and the intelligence that decides what to do next.
Export and import of coal, agri-commodities and industrial goods — built on trusted partnerships and transparent execution. Terms, provenance and settlement stated plainly, cargo by cargo.
Enterprise hardware, computing and communication devices for businesses that demand reliability. Specified against the workload it has to carry, sourced through the same trading discipline as any other cargo.
Helping organisations harness artificial intelligence, sharpen strategy and scale with confidence. Where AI genuinely fits, what it costs to run, and what it replaces — answered before anything gets built.
How we operate
A cargo either lands or it doesn't. That standard travels: every engagement carries a named counterparty, a written scope, a date, and a settlement. The order below is not negotiable — the diagnosis always precedes the build.
One conversation to establish what you are actually trying to move, and whether the group is the right counterparty for it.
Counterparties, specifications, numbers and systems checked first. Findings come back in writing, including the ones that argue against proceeding.
Named deliverables and a defined end. Hardware, cargo and consulting are arranged inside one engagement where the work calls for it.
Documentation, a trained owner on your side, and a defined support window. Dependency is not a business model.
Founder
Founder of Manish Rao Group, based in Mumbai and trading globally. An engineering and management background applied to an unusual pairing: commodity trade run with the rigour of a technology firm, and technology delivered with the accountability of a trading desk.
The group is deliberately small and directly run. You deal with the principal, not an account layer.
One group. Physical + Digital. Built for scale.
