Our story

A moving
flavour lab, born
from one question.

What if the best food and retail experiences didn’t wait behind four walls, but came looking for the customer? So we packed full commercial kitchens into trucks, trailers and carts — engineered to launch a business anywhere.

Today, Cartsmith is one of India’s most trusted fabricators of mobile business units, with in-house facilities, a pan-India delivery network and export capability — and hundreds of brands running on our builds.

What we believe

Three things we
refuse to compromise.

Our mission is simple: make it possible for anyone with a good idea to trade anywhere — with a unit that works as hard as they do.

01

Engineer first, decorate second

A unit that looks great but trips its breaker on a Saturday night is a failure. Load calculations, gas runs, drainage and airflow are settled before any wrap is designed.

02

No template has ever left this floor

Every build starts from the operator’s menu, staff count and pitch. Two identical briefs have never come through the door, so two identical units never leave it.

03

We answer the phone after delivery

Handover is the start of the relationship, not the end. Spares, upgrades and troubleshooting are part of what a Cartsmith unit is.

Milestones

From one cart to every kind of unit.

  1. 2016

    Founded

    One workshop, one welder, and a hand-push chai cart built for a friend who wanted to trade outside a college gate.

  2. 2017

    First food truck

    A Tata Ace mobile kitchen — the first Cartsmith build with a full cooking line, certified gas and 3-phase power.

  3. 2019

    In-house fabrication floor

    Fabrication, electrical, plumbing and finishing brought under one roof, ending the dependence on outside vendors.

  4. 2022

    Pan-India and first export

    Deliveries across 30+ cities, and the first units shipped outside the country.

  5. 2025

    Beyond food

    Retail display vans, brand-activation stages and container cafés join the line-up.

The workshop

Everything happens under one roof.

Steel, electrical, plumbing, gas, insulation, cladding, wrap and lighting — no stage is sent outside, so no stage is out of our control.

Founders & directors

The people behind every build.

Cartsmith is run by the people who started it. One takes your brief and turns it into a layout, one turns that layout into steel, and one keeps the company behind every build in order — and all three stay on the project until the unit is handed over.

Nitin PanwarCo-founder

Runs the front of the business — briefs, layouts and quotes. Every spec that comes through the site lands with Nitin first, and he stays the point of contact from concept approval to delivery.

Harendra SinghCo-founder & Director

Runs the floor — fabrication, electrical, gas and plumbing. Nothing leaves the workshop until Harendra has rain-tested it, checked every line and signed off the handover walkthrough.

Naresh KumarDirector

Director of Contineil Global Private Limited, the company behind Cartsmith. Looks after the business side — compliance, accounts and the paperwork a road-legal unit depends on — so the floor can focus on building.

What sets us apart

More than a workshop. A build partner.

100% Custom, Zero Templates

No standard sizes, no off-the-shelf units. Every build is engineered around your exact operation.

In-house Fabrication

Designed and built under one roof at our own facilities — full control over quality and timelines.

Road-Legal, Sorted

RTO paperwork, certified gas, water and electrical systems handled end-to-end. You just trade.

Rain-Tested Quality

Every unit passes waterproofing, electrical-safety and drainage tests before it leaves the floor.

Pan-India + Export

Delivered across 30+ cities with international export capability from our multi-state facilities.

Lifetime After-Sales

Troubleshooting, upgrades and spares long after handover — a partner, not just a vendor.

Who we serve

Trusted across every sector.

Food was the start. The same engineering now puts retail, distribution and brand activations on the road.

Client stories

★★★★★

“Cartsmith turned my idea into a truck in six weeks. The sleek design and efficient layout let us serve customers faster — footfall doubled the day we launched.”

Rhea MalhotraRhea MalhotraFounder, Smash Co.

“The build quality is genuinely industrial. Two years on the road, rain and heat, and it still looks and runs brand new. Best money we spent on the business.”

Arjun PatelArjun PatelOwner, Chai Chapter

“They handled design, RTO papers and delivery to another state. I just showed up and started selling. That end-to-end support is rare.”

Nikhil RaoNikhil RaoCo-founder, Roll Street

“From a single kiosk to a fleet of eight, Cartsmith scaled with us. Consistent quality across every unit and every city.”
